On a hot fall day in October. My tribute to Jordan

[TangerineFizz]

Okay, well, we've moved boards again, and sorry gang, but I'm bringing Jordan with us again.* *Until I'm done grieving totally, I will bring her to whatever board we settle on.*

A Hot Fall Day In October

You came to me on a hot fall day in October
and left me on a hot spring day in May.
You broke my heart both times.

The first, with the cuteness of your little body,
and the warmth of your soul radiating from your eyes.
The second, when I could no longer feel your soul entertwined with mine.

The house is quiet now, your favorite spots sit empty
and more often then not, the tears fall from my eyes.
I always knew you were an old soul,
but never once did I dream that you would not grow older with me.

The spaces you filled with your enormous presence,
are all cold and unfamiliar to me now,
and I long to feel the familiar warmth of your fur,
and the ever comforting touch of your foot on mine.

You came to me on a hot fall day in October
and changed my life.
You were my best friend, a confidante, the shoulder
I could always count on.
If I could go back to that hot fall day and hold it a little while longer, I would.
Just like I would hold onto you forever if I could now.

You left me on a hot spring day in May,
and took a piece of me with you.
I still wonder if I made the right choice, if that choice was really ever mine to make.
Deep down inside I knew our time was coming to an end
just like I knew it would wound me greatly to let you go.

I look for you in all the old familiar places,
but just like a hot fall day replaced by the icy bite of winter,
which in turn fades with the heat of spring,
You are no longer there.

You came to me on a hot fall day in October,
and taught me love, kindness and respect, and so much more.
But most of all you brought me love, laughter, friendship and happiness.

You left me on a hot spring day in May,
and left me with an empty collar,
And an even bigger emptiness in my life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I miss you Jordan. I will wait for the sight of you to come welcome me home, and only then will I feel at peace. You were my one in a lifetime dog, and I miss you more then I ever dreamt was possible.

You were a good dog, a great dog, the best dog, my true friend. Thank you for that, and all the kisses, the cuddles, and most of all for all your truly unconditional love.

Sweet dreams my weiner schnitzel, my Jordie Pordie puddin 'n pie. Sweet dreams princess puppy, until we meet again.
