Obviously, looking back at the blog, or 2013 for that matter, always ends at that same focal point for me. Viva. What is left, after our road-trip in her footsteps, are the memories about her. She will therefore still be a part of this blog in the time to come, as she still is a part of our life. I couldn't continue the blog otherwise. It would become a stranger to us if we didn't.
During the holidays we went through the hundreds of photo's we have of her, fueling the memories we have. And we thought it would be a good idea to share something about Viva each Sunday to remember her by. Maybe just a photo, or just a short story, I haven't given the format a lot of thought and let it allow to go where it wants to go. I promise it will be positive though.
For our #1 post, this photo which I used as our Twitter badge a long time ago, and I am sure many of you have never seen before. It is Viva, giving me that special look she had a patent on, that always melted me from day 1 - although Kenzo is doing a good job as well:
Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true, and hope to see you in 2014 !
What a lovely idea, Leo. And what a beautiful picture of Viva -- such a sweetheart. I do hope you'll consider participating in the Pet Blogger Challenge. I would love some company in discussing the question of how the loss of a pet affects a blog.
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a lovely way of honouring Viva's memory. I look forward to continuing to see her beauty and spirit on your website.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the new year.
