It’s over.. almost over.. the holiday season. I haven’t been here the last few days because it has hurt. I keep looking at all the pictures of “Christmas ‘ Past” that I posted in the previous blog. Although they bring smiles when I look at them, they bring tears and a longing that I wish I could fix. He was terribly missed this Christmas… especially by my sweetie.
Went to make coffee Christmas morning and he pulled down my mug with Franklin’s picture on it.. and burst into tears… that’s why I love him.
My kids.. Jordan and Moon Boy, got him a garden stone… which.. made him burst into tears again…. no explanation needed!
You certainly are buddy… in and on our hearts…
You were missed lying in the wrapping paper this year sweet boy… and the pig ears were not the same today. I hope you had lots of treats on Christmas Day sweetie… I sent you lots of love from my heart!
Merry Christmas sweet boy….. ♥♥♥♥♥
Chris,
I know exactly what you are saying. It just wasn’t the same even though I tried to make it the best I could tears flowed too when I was by myself. Thinking of you sweet Franklin.
Hugs

Chris and Michelle – me, too!! And we’d only had Roxie the one Christmas. I’m trying to be happy we had that much, but it’s never enough.
Hugs and hearts, Liz and Angel Roo
It was with an aching heart that I was scrolling down reading your post……until I got to “Moon Boy”!
Then I burst out laughing!! He will forever be our special “Moon Boy”! And people who javen’t seen your blogs are wondering “What the heck…?” But that lottle chuckle was momentary.
I remember when you first posted that picture of his mug…your birthday, right? It was such a carng and thoughtful gift.
Frank n’ Farter was so very, very special in so many ways….always with a huge grin on his face. Don’t ever tell me a dog doesn’t smile…..that dog SMILES!!
I remember a lovely pic yoj posted one time of Magfie and Franklin u der the Christmas tree…..looked like a Norman Rockwell painting. The pic you have here is a version of it.
My tablet keyboard doesn’t have an”ALT” key or a “CTRL” key so I can’t make those little hearts you do; otherwise I would do it a gazillion times for you tonight! And the stupid tavlets been acring up, so right now it’s only showing me the bottom two pics. I assu e the one it’s not showing me is te garden stone. I’ll keep coming back though.
Christine, I’m so glad yo’re able to stay here and continue to support oters with your wonderfully wise and caring words, all the while you are honoring Franklin at the same time. He’s so proud.
You, as well as so many..too many..others have been in my hearts this “season” I posted a “little remembrance” photo for our tripawd Angels Christmas Eve…hope you saw it…think I put it in “shout out”…can’t remember.
Much love to you and all your pack! Hugs toyou, your sweet Fred AND MOON BOY!!
Sally and Happy Hannah
Finaly the pic showed up….that’s just beautiful. I’ve seen yhe sentiment before, vut never in the shape of a dog paw. Very nice, very, very nice.
Many, many hugs coming your way Christine. I remember wanting the holidays to just be OVER the first year we weren’t together with Jerry. We shed a lot of tears as well. It’s OK. Franklin is there and always will be, it just takes time to accept it.
Thinking of you. We were away from home this Christmas which I think made it easier. Slowly but surely the year of “first” will go by and next Christmas the memories will bring a smile with less tears.
Take care-
