I lost my shadow...

I lost my shadow

Today I lost my shadow. And it's hard to take in. I walk around the house expecting her to be there on the floor or eating dinner with me, but she's not. I walk in to the room and her persistence of staying by my side is gone. She didnt say much or do much, but a shadow never does. 

My shadow no longer lays dutifully at my feet while sleeping, waiting to get up and see where I take her that day.

Loyal and true, that's what my shadow was to me. She was always there to greet me when my day was through. Always there by my side, happy mad or blue. 

My shadow was a direct reflection of me. She loved to eat, loved the sun, the out doors, smells, citrus trees, bike rides, car rides, a good chase, a good fight, family and friends. She loved a good prime rib, snuggling, being in the kitchen and being with kids; she was full of love. But of course she loves these things, a shadow is the direct reflection of me. :)

My shadow brought in the perspective of light. With out light, my shadow is dead, and I am too. I feel dead inside with out her. 

I wish my shadow would come back. Like they always say, you don't know it's missing, until it's gone. 

My shadow's in me, she is me. And I love her very much. I miss her deeply. I wish she'd come back. 

Until we meet again.... Rest in a beautiful loving peace.
