    Dear Christy,

    I'm guessing that the 9th may bring some tears, but I am hoping that it will also be filled with loving memories from the past and also that it will bring a sense of peace to your heart as you look towards the future. Never to be forgotten, and always to be honored -- now Dexter and Sophie's lives on earth will have come full circle. You have already freed their spirits, and now you will be freeing their bodies as well.

    Take good care of yourself, Christy, and I'll be thinking of you three all together at the beach, and of the love that you will always share.

    Many (((hugs))),
    Marianne

    Christy,

    My eyes were full of tears reading your post....I can't believe it has been a year. I know for me with Scoobie it feels like 10 years and we haven't hit one....I guess it is bc we miss them so much.

    I think it is lovely that you are taking them to the beach where they loved to be!!! What a wonderful thing to do!

    Know that you will be surrounded by your Cush family on the 9th and that we wish you a peaceful, loving moment as you pay tribute to Dexter and Sophie....

    Peace to you, Beth, Bailey and always Scoobie

    Oh Christy,

    I will be thinking about you. It sounds like a lovely idea, especially since he loved the beach. Which beach are you going to?
    I have Lucy's ashes and haven't yet decided what to do with them. I think I will eventually let her go on the Rapppahanock River as it was her most favorite place in the world. She is in the river in my avatar.

    Go with the gentle breezes sweet Dexter and Sophie. I will feel your spirit way down here in Virginia!

    Aw Dexter, you noble, noble boy and Sophie, you sweet girl. Keep watching over your Mom and comfort her. I know you will both enjoy the beach that you loved so much. Make sure that Christy knows that you are doing great and that you never take your eyes off of your loving Mom.

    Christy,

    How did it go? Every time a gentle breeze touches your cheeks it's a love lick from Dexter and Sophie.

    What a sweet memorial you had for your special Dexter & Sophie. I can't believe it's been already a year. Christy we often think about you and at night we whisper to Dexter & Sophie to keep watching over you.

    Thank you to everyone for your loving thoughts. I guess I'm just not ready to let go yet. The 9th came and went and I did not leave their ashes. The time just wasn't right for me to leave them. They are still with me on my bedside stand. They may just stay with me a while.

    Thank you again,
    Christy

    Christy,

    I had to smile just a little while reading your post. I know exactly how you feel about not being ready to let go. I haven't been able to let go of my Lucy either. She is on top of a bookcase with her collar around the little box and all the cards we received beside them. It is comforting to me to see them there. You just have to do what feels right for you. Dexter and Sophie loved and trusted you in their earth life, they will love and trust you now.
