What a powerful inspiring post. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry about the loss of your pet.
I think we need to keep reminding ourselves that life is what we make of it. We try to learn and move onwards from the past, we live now in the present and the future, well that's always going to be on its way.
I am working through my past so I can move forward, enjoy living in the present and look forward to what lies ahead in the future.
It's bloody hard right now though. But I'm working on it.
