She Absorbed Me

Photobucket My dog Panda (Princess Pandora Ruth) passed away this year in August. Panda meant a lot of different things to me she was of course my friend, confidant, walking buddy, we were car ride enthusiasts, she was a protector, comforter, and hugger.

I miss all those things that Panda meant to me, but the biggest thing I miss about her was her ability to “absorbed” me.

She took me as I was, my moods and miseries, my laughter and discord, my gentleness  and temper. I was always the same person in her eyes no matter where I was emotionally, physically, mentally, or spiritually. She made no quick judgements because she knew my basic essence, my basic self and she never forgot that information even though the other more ugly sides of me emerged from time to time- she knew who I was and she “absorbed” me. 

I miss having that comfort and unconditional acceptance around me.

 I try very hard not to hide or pretend being who I am, but sometimes circumstances dictates that I keep my secrets and hidden passions away from judging eyes and opinions. But I am basically who you see from day to day. Full and flourishing in my successes and faults, content within my journey and learning more about myself and my world than I ever imagined possible.      

Some of the most valuable lessons were learned from that always smiling, rambunctious, giving, accepting, always tugging me into life dog I called Panda.


And I miss her so...
