Bodhi, 1992(?) — May 17, 2006
My dog passed away a month ago, one day before I was able to get home to Arkansas and say goodbye. I thought I’d be able to write about it by now, but I can’t. My mother wrote a lovely encomium for him on her blog, though.
This picture was taken when I was 20 and he had been living with us about a year. He was a wonderful friend, and even though we hadn’t lived together for about two and half years I still miss him immensely.

What a beautiful fellow. Many sympathies, my friend. Two days ago, talking to S, I found myself crying when talking about Sandi, a cat who died nine years ago. After a month, you're only beginning to comprehend that s/he's gone. After nine years, you're still crying. That's part of the deal.

What a beautiful, fun, alert friend. I'm so sorry. I've read your mother's post and it's beautiful. How wonderful to have shared his life.

What a beautiful photo.
Your mother's account is lovely.
I can see why it would take awhile to grieve.

Farewell, bodhi. Thanks for linking to your mother's thoughts. The memorial garden is lovely. And I agree with what she wrote about visiting graves.
