Under The Sun With Grief.
In between the bitterness of grief there is also warmth.
When the sun is shining and there’s a smile on your face, the one you love is always there. Grief stands under the sun with you and enjoys the warmth, as if the bitterness it usually holds has melted away for just a little while. The smile on your face is a crutch for the grief, allowing the weight of it to disappear.
Though grief is a forever thing, and there are days when there is more rain than sun, nothing will take away the fact that you are bonded with it. And in between the madness of grief, those you love—whether human or animal—still remain; their memory and love just as bright, just as warm as the sun itself.

Through Time.
It seems the days are passing by so fast, and yet it's like I'm still standing in one place. I look back on all my yesterdays and the footprints that walked with me through my life. I know the spirits of every person and every animal I've ever loved are still with me — and somehow, somewhere, in some other universe, we are together again.
