Apollo,missing you,1 year, 5 months

You are on my mind today. I am having an Apollo day. Do not know why I am crying so much. Over 4 years and I miss you so much. Love my angel.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Sonja

((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))

Dear Sonja, I don`t think it matters if they have been gone a year, four years or a lot longer. We will never stop missing them. Or loving them. As you said, the loss will always be there. Many hugs, Dawn

Over four years since I lost my Apollo. I miss him every day. Like Hamish's mom, just to hold him one more time.
Sonja

One more time would be wonderful, but I'm afraid I would never let go...

Apollo and Hamish, both over 4 years now. I don't know where the time goes.

I don't think we ever stop missing them.

We never stop missing them because they made such an impact on our hearts, and they'll always be part of us.

We think about them every day, miss them every day, remember forever.

And that's ok and as it should be.

It's a beautiful thing, actually and though it hurts sometimes, actually quite a lot, we know how much richer our lives were for having loved them all.

Love you Sonja

We never forget or lose that stab of pain....nor the desire for just one more minute. :(

((((((((HUGS))))))) Sonja

Thank you all for your kind words.
Love Sonja

I remember that beautiful video.:)

Big hugs Sonja

Beautiful, Sonja...I cried through the whole video.

Sonja, your video is beautiful. Filled with love and sweet memories. Hugs. Love, Dawn

My sweet Apollo it has been five years since you past. I am so overwhelmed with everything in my life right now- my own health issues,my mother's car accident dealing with the insurance company, handling my mother- her doctor appointments, her declining health, trying to get the store ready to liquidate close, move my mother, move us, Doug's health issues. If it wouldn't have been for Dawn, I would have forgotten. Forgive me my little warrior. My little man,my little angel. I think you gave me a sign last week. Since you died I no longer get hummingbirds in the patio. Last week a hummingbird flew around the patio. I smiled thinking about when you and I would every year see the hummingbirds build a nest in a wind chime and watch the babies hatch, learn how to fly . I miss you everyday May you be looking down from Heaven. I will light a candle in your honor.
Love your Mom, Sonja

Awww, Sonja...Hugs to you.

Years continue to pass but the love and missing will always be there. And the precious memories of the life you shared. Perhaps Apollo sent you a sign with the hummingbird. To say I love you mommy and to comfort you. My baby sent me a sign while I was in her garden. Love is forever. Many hugs Sonja. Love, Dawn

Big hugs Sonja,

one year today my molly has been gone. :(

Today is your birthday. I honor you with a candle, my little warrior. You will be with me till the day I die.
Love Your Mom,Sonja

Happy birthday sweet Apollo . Hugs Sonja .

i know you miss him terribly Sonja. HUGS!

From me too, Sonja...

Today it has been 6 years since my Apollo , my little warrior died. They say we all have a soul dog, Apollo was mine. He was my teacher. I thank Dawn for the beautiful post. I miss him every day. I will light a candle in his honor look at his video. I also want to remember Terry, , Sweet Corky's mom, who died due to complications in August. She supported me a lot, would call me. May she rest in piece. I now have little Ariel, a mini dachshund rescue. I am his teacher. After Apollo died I felt Apollo was pushing me to adopt another. This went on for 4 months. I feel he was saying don't let that love for me die share it with another. Through the years I have had signs Apollo is watching over me. We used to experience swing a humming bird nest and the chicks in our patio for years. It stopped when he died. So every time I see a humming bird , I feel Apollo is saying " Hi Mom I am okay , just checking in on you". Thank you for your love and support over the years. Video

Those years of love shared will forever be part and parcel of who we are. I have no doubt that those Hummingbirds are from Apollo! Or that our sweet Terri is with Corky, Apollo, Squirt, Lulu, Kiki, Molly, and many others, watching over you and Ariel, and all of us here at K9C.

Hugs,
Leslie

That was so sweet, Sonja. I'm crying...I too believe that our heart and soul dogs are always with us. I was thinking of Lena yesterday and missing her terribly. I stopped at PetSmart with Sibble to get some dog food. As we were leaving our parking spot, I glanced to my left and there was this little fluffball walking with a woman and her little girl. I stopped to get a better look and it was a white teacup poodle with apricot fringe on his ears and down his back just like Lena when she was a puppy. I couldn't believe it! I stopped and petted him, took a couple of pictures, spoke with the woman about Lee, then cried the whole way home. I know that was her letting me see her again.

Our heart dogs are with us always...many hugs to you, Sonja, from my heart to yours.

Watched your video of Apollo's life.

So sweet. I know I'm supposed to be tough grown man, but I was misty eyed by the end of the video.

Glad you are able to share your love with another sweet pup.

Such a beautiful video Sonja .One of love of a life shared. Thank you for sharing . Forever missed but memories stored in the heart and mind forever, Our babies come to us in different ways . Perhaps Apollo takes on a hummingbird form . My baby comes in the clouds or a rainbow . Hugs my dear friend.

Wishing my Apollo happy birthday in heaven. You are always in my heart and soul. Think you may have been saying hi , saw two humming birds last week, one on the patio where we would see them every year and none since you past. Love to my little warrior

Happy birthday sweet Apollo .

Happy Birthday, Apollo!!

Happy birthday, Apollo!!

Happy, happy birthday from me, too! I’m guessing all our sweet babies are joining in the K9C Angel celebration!

Big hugs to you, though, Sonja. Big hugs on this bittersweet day.

Always in loving memory. Always.
Marianne

I cherish my memories of Apollo and his little red stroller. Happy birthday big guy!!

Happy Birthday Apollo.. I know you are celebrating along with all our other fur baby's that are with you.

Thank you all for your beautiful posted. I think I may hear them celebrating.;)I call the. God shots. Our angels say hi in different ways. Thank you. Lena was a real little angel. I did not think anyone would post. Bless you my sweet earthly human Angels.

Hi Sonja,
Stoppped by and saw updates on our Apollo’s thread.
Red strollers, hummingbirds, doxy themed anything are just a few triggers that always bring back memories of our handsome, proud boy.
All the memories are held so dear.
My best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am sure Zoe and Apollo are feasting away, while watching over us. Zoe is probably hogging the turkey legs!

thank you my dear friend.
Yes hold on to the good memories. I am sure our two little rascals are having fun while watching over us. Ever now and then I will see a hummingbird, my heart skips a beat and fill Apollo is saying just checking in Mom to see how you are doing. Take care my warrior sister.

It has been over 6 years since my boy, Apollo passed. Yesterday. You were on my mind a lot. I was reading notes to God to help me fill the hole and pain of your loss . You were so brave, courageous, dignified trying to fight this disease for as long as you could. I don't know if the guilt I feel about what you went through will ever go away.There is a hole and place in my heart and soul that only Apollo fills. You brought me so much joy, love, laughter, support. My sweet ,loving, regal, brave, little boy. Always in my heart and soul. I know every time I see humming bird, you are saying hi, Mom, and I get goose bumps. Take care of your sister Karma, Zoe(don't get to fresh with her ) love always your Mom

Awww, Sonja...sending you many,many hugs.

I’m sending you my warmest thoughts, too, Sonja. I can’t believe how quickly the years fly by, now. But the passage of time does nothing to change our memories or the ache of our loss over those we’ve loved so dearly. And always will love. If only we could have just a few moments back to show them how much they mean to us. I guess we just have to trust that they do know. They just have to. And so our K9C family will always join you in honoring your sweet, brave boy. So that he can know how much he will always remain loved. And Sonja, we are always right here by your side.

Thinking of you, and Apollo, this morning with such fondness. Thank you so much for continuing to return to us.
Marianne
