I got a very sad call this morning from my brother Justin. Topaz, my parents’ 13-year old golden retriever died in her sleep last evening. I’m so sad about it.
Topaz had a very good life. Despite some allergies, her health was reasonably good. She loved my parents and she also loved my grandmother. What’s especially touching about her relationship with Grandma is that she got to see her yesterday.
When Justin called I had actually expected him to say that Grandma had passed. Her health has declined since last November. Now, after a few strokes, she is in a continuing care facility. Justin and his girlfriend Nina took Topaz to the home to visit Grandma and the other residents. Topaz walked through and got lots of lovin’ from everyone.
Last night, as my Dad put her in her bed, he felt that she wasn’t holding herself right. She must have been releasing herself.
Today, Justin and my Dad will bury her at Bear Creek Farm.
