MARLY IS GONE

Beloved friends,
some of you might know, some might not, that since about 6 weeks I had an amazing dog, a black labrador, a puppy, called Marly. He has changed my life completely, he woke up all my motherly instincts in me.Today he has died in an accident. We spent the last few days in Sedona, had a good time there, Marly loved the dogs park and all the compliments he received, literally every second person was saying how beautiful he was, and I was so proud of my adorable, terrible, very smart, extremely beautiful, innocent dog!!!!!!! After Sedona, we went to San Felipe in Mexico before coming back to Ensenada. Elida, Marly and me. Today, the three of us were coming out from the beach, we were very very happy, full of joy, even though, funny enough, we had just talked about some friends and how they felt when their dogs died, we obviously did not think this was our destiny too, or at least not so soon. Marly ran, there were no cars on the street except one that came very fast and very close to the pavement and hit him. He died immediately in a total state of let go. Elida and I were there, caressing him.He was a very loving dog and we felt just love and acceptance coming from him.
We then put him in the car and brought him here to Ensenada, and we buried him in the courtyard of his good friend Polly, a female bulldog 5 years old, with whom he used to play and have the most amazing time.
I am sure he is okay now,but I am in a mess . Moments of terrible pain, moments of emptiness, moments of peace and acceptance. He had been only short time with me, but I really loved him tremendously and he had become part of me as if he was my child. I just read a peace of Osho on death. I also understand there is a lot of potential in a moment of big and sudden loss like this one. So....let's see how I will process this...
Beloveds, I just wanted to share this with all of you. It helps my healing process.
With love.
