Moving forward through tragedy
Just last month we lost our beloved young 7 yr old standard schnauzer - Boger.
A few of his traits were known to be notoriously barking a lot having knowing or not, the dog or person but very friendly once the barking is out of the way (most of the time) An excellent guard dog, strong willed, high spirited, intelligent and most of all loyal.
And what I've learned from his time with us was all those exact traits that I was looking for in having him in the first place, and one main reason was to be able to have him alive enough to know that we were ready to have a family because raising a pup and children have similar principles.
For example: discipline, patience, feeding, bathing, playtime ... you get the idea.
Anyway, while the house will never be the same and our daily routines is changed the lasting impression he left will have us moving forward for the better as a family and individually different for the family members. I can't speak for my family but with me; during my lifetime I lost my way of having progressive change be apart of my regimen of life (if that makes sense) like I mean, I made a list on things of personal, as a couple (wife) and as a family I want worked on to better our relationship and personal growth but as mentioned I was basically stuck in mud for sometime and getting comfortable. I feel as though that Boger knew that and decided to sacrifice himself to give me a reminder of what needs to be done still.
Pretty harsh come to think of it but the way I operate actually - zero to a hundred. It's a fukked up analogy but it's what makes sense to me.
Along the way of life, we forget things that we generally stand by to get us to where and what we want in life - sacrifice is one thing I've always stood behind. With that, moving forward will be a bit easier because I will not let Boger's life be of waste and in honor of what he's done for myself will ultimately help me achieve the completion of the list.
Because I understood or at least accept the way he departed, I'm able to not let the grieving process cripple me into being useless to my family and the world.
