Gone but not forgotten
Is it five years a few?
How can we measure time when it comes to loss, memories and nostalgia?
It was only a pet,
some might say.
But this amazing creature meant much more to me.
He barged into my life like a furry hurricane and nothing was the same any more.
He was my friend, my companion, my joy, my comfort.
He gave me plenty of reasons to be happy,
a lot of excuses to be outraged
and most of all, countless lessons about life itself.
He stood by my side for more than 16 years,
in good days and in bad ones,
in our daily routine and in wild travels
and he never doubted our unbreakable bond.
Now he is memories and pictures,
a framed photo on the wall,
a tree growing on his grave.
And a few words that I wrote in his memory.
Because he is gone
but not forgotten.

Thanks for sharing this emotional post with us - I'm sure your old friend has a good time now where ever he is. Glad you good some stunning photos of your buddy!
Thank you very much. Yes, I tend to get emotional that day of the year but it feels good to share it!
So sorry for your loss
It doesn't matter how many years have gone by a loss of a friend who stands by you at all times is an immeasurable loss.
I have lost my girl as well, it's now nine years and I still miss my furry little girl.
Thank you so much. You are right, time doesn't change anything, maybe it just softens the feelings.
Aww what a beautiful tribute to your friend!
Thank you Sara, it is the day of the year that I cannot think of anything else.
I'm sobbing over here. Nice photoshoot!
I guess I am getting a bit emotional that day of the year but it helps me so much to share it. Thank you very much!
Such a beautiful tribute ❤️
You are a wonderful, caring person, Morpheus and you were lucky to find each other. It warms my heart to see mutual love and respect.
Thank you very much Denise, he is a big and important chapter of my life.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but these photos are a beautiful memorial to such a sweet relationship and great memories!
Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness Dan, I really appreciate it.
I'm so sorry, I know how heartbreaking it is when you lose such a big part of your life and family. But Morpheus lives on through your memories and your love for him. He was beautiful.
Thank you very much for your sympathy Emma, he was beautiful and unforgettable indeed!
My favorite was the 4th from top, loved the eye expression. :))
You are right, it's a lovely expression indeed!
So beautiful @fotostef! Morpheus is alive in your hear forever!
Thank you very much!
I am sorry for your lost my friend. This reminds me back of my dog. She has the exact color and the face expression is very similar, with the ear like those. She was my best friend during the day. Rest in peace MORPHEUS!
Thank you so much for your sympathy, it means a lot to me!
Sorry for your loss Stef, 5 years are nothing if you can't spend it with your best friend. Love the lighting in these portraits!
Thank you very much Ruben, have a nice weekend!
Memories wrapped up with love!
Lovely memoir in photography and poem.
Thanks a lot @joanstewart, enjoy your day!
Sixteen years for medium sized furry friend I would call a good innings, extremely sad when they go on not having a longer lifespan. Each and every one has been extra special in my lifetime never forgotten.
Yes, he had a long life for his size (40 kilos in adulthood) but nature has decided that dogs should live much less than we would like. All we can do is to be grateful for the moments we had with them and remember.
Thanks again!
Don't linger too long without a companion, one is waiting in the wings looking for a loving person to accompany.
