I feel like part of my life is missing
You have been by my side for over 12 years
You talked to me loudly each morning when I got up and when I got home from an errand always so happy to see me. You licked away my tears when I was sad, you jumped up and down with me when I was happy.
Even this morning you gave me your loud welcoming bark, and a kiss on my nose before you laid down to sleep forever.
Words can never say how much I love you and will miss you.
Tears streaming as I type this knowing I will never hear your voice or get your kisses ever again.
You were such a sweet gentle boy, taking care of babies as they came along.......mothering everyone.
I keep thinking I will wake up and this is just a bad dream, this cannot be, not my Simon.
You gave me so much while you were here, dreams I never expected, you will always be remembered  and loved my big galute......from your mom.
 
The Silence
The silence without you is deafening.
Even when we were totally quiet,
Even when sleeping,
I could hear and feel your presence.
 
There are so many sounds and sensations,
That were part of me and part of you.
Together in our coexistence.
Your breathing.
Your movement.
Your smell.
Your voice.
Your thoughts. Yes, sometimes I could
actually hear you thinking.

Now you are gone.
I look for you several times a day,
But you are not there.
I listen for you every moment,
Waiting for the confirmation of your being.
And realizing every moment,
That you are no longer here.

The silence is deafening.
I never could have imagined
The void that your death would cause.
All other sounds and sensations in my life
Continue uninterrupted.
They pale in comparison
To the silence of your absence.
