He’s gone.

10•29•15

He’s gone, and we are shattered.

Lucas

He went too soon. It’s always too soon.

Lucas joined our family on March 28, 2007, and he left us on October 28, 2015. But he is forever and ever part of our soul.

I miss my friend. So much.

It will take time to pick up these pieces.

    Oh, Maggie, I’m so, so sorry!! I just woke up to this awful news. My heart aches for you and John, and for Emmett, Cooper, and Newt. I know there are no words that could possibly make you feel better so I’ll just hold you all in my heart. You did all you could for Lucas and gave him so much love. Now your sweet boy is your guardian angel. Run fast, run free Lucas. (((HUGS)))

    So sad to hear this new this morning. It’s never easy. I know your heart is hurting right now and it’s going to be a while before the ache starts to fade. I know it won’t ever fully go away, but know that you have a world of people behind you that have gone through those same feelings and you have those beside you to snuggle, cry and kiss.

    so sorry, there are no words that will help, but in time you will remember and smile for all the good times and be grateful for all he gave you. he made a difference. Be brave, because he was. The pain is because you loved him and he loved you. Its just so awful that the time we have with our pets is always always too short. xx

    I am so sorry for your loss. It is is always hard to lose a furry family member i lost my dog Rocket at only 5 years old to advanced cancer on March 21, 2015. I know it hurts but just try to remember all the wonderful memories you had and just remember that he may be gone but will never be forgotten he will always be in your heart.

    I kept hoping it would be a long time before seeing this news. I am so so sorry for your loss. Lucas was a special boy. Like my husband says about our girl Sasha, he’s still there, you just can’t see him. Sending hugs to you and your family from me and my pack. They certainly leave us too soon, and it takes time to heal. Take your time; don’t rush it. Hugs.

    Even though sadness and heartbreak own you right now, hold onto the fact that you did love right. And even though he is gone, I promise you he is a part of you and he will light up your life in new ways. Thinking about you all – humans and dogs and cat -and holding space for your family as you move through the coming days, weeks and months.

    Maggie, I have no words to help, but my heart hurts for you and your family.
    Lucas’ loss will be felt by so many for quite a long time because we all got to know him through you.
    He was a wonderful boy and you were lucky to have found each other.
    Hold Emmett and Cooper a little tighter as you grieve.We are all here for such a short time…

    Lucas is beyond the pain now, but never too far for your love to reach.
    You will all continue to be in my prayers.
    My deepest sympathy for your loss.

    Leslie, Wishbone and Freya.

    I am so very sorry to hear this. The process of holding back the darkness while living with your dear dog and waiting, is so hard. It breaks the heart open. It seems to me that the universe is deeply efficient– and while much of your love will move forward and infuse out, some of it will stick, the sweet essence of Lucas. He will know you always and you will know him. Thank you for sharing him with us.
