It is therapeutic for me to celebrate Copper’s life. I am at a place in my grieving where I can talk and reminisce about my boy. I did not grieve several deaths of loved ones in the past. However pushing those feelings down did not serve me and added to the pain of those losses. With Copper’s passing, I have allowed myself to cry as much as I need too. He played a major role in my early adult life. He was my best friend and partner. Copper lived through an intense time through many forms of soul growth and supported me while I experienced many lessons.
I know he is with me and never too far away. We shared a sacred friendship and loved one another with entire hearts. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of him and nothing will replace that bond. My brother told me the other day how Copper would run to the door and wait for me as he heard my car pulling up; how he’d be wagging his tail waiting for me. That’s love!
I will honor, Copper, by living a good life, a life he would be proud of. I have learned many lessons and I certainly learned the importance of respect and unconditional love. I am grateful to have experienced the love of a beautiful soul like Copp’s and I celebrate his life that was well lived.
