Reflections!
This the fourth day since my mother died.
They have been days of a great jumble of emotions.
But the over-riding emotion has been one of feeling very loved and cared for. Not only by Jeannie, of course, and by my son, Alex, and daughter, Maija, but also by so many of you from my Learning from Dogs ‘family’.
A dear friend, Richard, living in England was incredibly supportive. Richard and I go back nearly 40 years to when we first met. We were both selling Commodore computers for our respective companies back in the early 1980’s. (Richard used to be a typewriter salesman for Olivetti UK and I was an ex-IBM Office Products salesman.)
Anyway, Richard pointed me to this beautiful song by Beth Nielsen-Chapman How We Love.
It sums up perfectly what all your ‘Likes’ and responses to my post The End Of An Era meant to me.
Love you all! I will return to daily posts from this Saturday.
I will not forget your kindness when I needed it so much.
Learning from Dogs 
Those meaningful words must have given you much comfort, it’s a beautiful song. Thanks to your friend Richard for thinking of you.

My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your mother. I am sorry it is so late in my extending them to you. It is a loss that will never go away, but I hope your memories help in some small way.

Don’t feel that there is a need for you to apologise. After all it will only be three weeks ago this coming Monday. Thank you for your very kind thoughts.
