To stop the pain, must I forget her? what was the point then? 9 years. gone. I still faintly plead, wish that she could come back. Did she really have to go? was it really time? why do I doubt. why am I belaboring? reminders everywhere, but they decrease as I suppress the pain. everywhere. but less each day. why did she have to go so soon? I loved her so much I cant sleep. I babble here instead. trying to make sense of it. what was the point? we grew together over 9 years. some struggles, but mostly good. the last few years, I began to dread her inevitable passing. I shut others down when they brought it up &#8211; we don&#8217;t talk about that. that cant happen. I cant survive that. it did happen though, and I am still here. without her.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3558-e1474950653640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3558-e1474950653640-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"sophie\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3558-e1474950653640-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3558-e1474950653640-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3558-e1474950653640-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7\/15\/16<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3565-e1474950534762.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3565-e1474950534762-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sophie\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3565-e1474950534762-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3565-e1474950534762-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sophiegoldendoodle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3565-e1474950534762-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7\/15\/16<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sophie Golden Doodle 9\/27\/16 4:23 am Since she has gone, all I want to do is remember her.
