[Dailydrool] Emma who was waiting for her Mom to come home ...

[Kathleen Jones]

Oh Beth, I'm so sorry.  She was so lucky to go in the arms of someone who 
loved her so much & took such excellent care of her.  Please know you did 
everything you could & more.

I was on Basset-L & the Drool years ago when you had Duchess. I've only 
recently been getting Drools again.  I took rather a long break after my 
Henry Wadsworth passed  and after  Bill James died.   But I remember you & 
how much you cared for your babies.  Emma was lucky to have had you with 
her.

I lost my HenryW. on Labor Day just 4 years ago. I didn't know how on earth 
to get through the day.  I think the feeling of shock/pain/disbelief is 
normal in a horrible sort of way.  It helped me to write things I remembered 
about Henry which brought up memories of things my Bentley did, and I wrote 
& cried a good part of the night & next day & sometimes after. It was kind 
of a blur, frankly and I cried through most of it.  Please know droolers out 
there share your tears (even those of us who rarely post).

Take care of yourself now too.  Somehow I have a feeling her Mom knew more 
about what to expect than you think. The freezer line rather got to me.  I 
think she knew or suspected.

I kept this after after my Henry W. passed.  I thought of it again reading 
about Emma's passing.
Sending prayers & heart healing drool,

Kathleen Jones & Maestro

 Tribute

And so, I am glad
Not that she is gone
But that the earth she lived and walked upon
Was my earth too
and that her I'd known
and love I'd shown.

Tears?  Oh, yes,
but then a smile
That I had walked with her a little while.
