I don't need to; grandpa talks to me now and then and gives me pretty good advice 37 years later. The only thing missing is the ability to sit down and have a fine scotch with him. Perhaps that comes later.<br /><br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-74563350374361296672014-02-09T09:24:33.451-07:002014-02-09T09:24:33.451-07:00One of the most interesting, thought provoking pos...One of the most interesting, thought provoking posts, Michael.

He was my partner in crime for 7 years, and I miss him every day. I still feel him and occasionally hear what I know to be him following me around. They say it gets easier in time. We'll see how long it takes.

And I know the spiritual/ethereal ways of that long ago time (just as there are times I miss it so - but not all of it by any means).<br /> And, re: pets, I lost a 205 lb Newfoundland some 15 years back.

I know how important our pets are. They are loved like the members of the family they are. I cannot diminish your loss but I can offer this. Our pets have our love and they love us. They have no knowledge of their mortality as we do. I think that's the best thing in the world.
