Are You Missing Someone Right Now?

Sailorgal, the reason that PTSD Service dogs are so expensive, is that a minimum of 6 months of training goes into them before they can then be paired with their medically needy patient. THEN the trainer needs to spend 2-3 weeks with the dog and new owner to train the owner how to utilize the service(s) of the dog. All this takes time and time is money. That is why I trained my own dog. Also, when you train your own, you don't train the dog for any tasks that you don't need, whereas professional trainers have to train the dog to do all possible tasks, because the future owner has not been picked out yet, so they have no idea what specific tasks the dog will need to do. Hence the $20,000 for such dogs. On the other hand, I bought "HEALING COMPANIONS How To Train Your Own Psychiactric Service Dog" by Jane Miller for less than $15. I'm just a poor widow living on Disability. What would you do!

Both my neighbors died from the same sinus infection I have. Theirs
turned into pnumonia [SP?] but at least I have not gotten anything
more than just the sinus infection. I am taking meds, vits, etc., for
it... They were smokers, I am not, so I do hope I have an advantage.
She died yesterday and he died 2 wks ago or so. One other neighbor
nearly kicked the bucket too. This thing is no joke! And as always,
drs and hospitals are getting richer and richer...

Oh, and I miss them for many reasons, not least of which is that they
used to keep their heat way up HIGH. My apartment is freezing now
that their heat was turned off by their family. I used to run my heat
maybe 2 hours a day; that was all I needed. Now? I will probably need
to keep it on all the time until the late Spring. SIGH...

I miss my aunty who used to come at our place and used to play snake and leaders with me. She would come every Saturday. She was very lovely and understanding. She was the one who understood my hyper activeness and made me feel normal. She used to listen my non-stop talk and never told me "stop now" and never ignored me. She would sympathize, giggle, nod, tell me somethings which would make me feel happy. I love you aunty and I hope you are well wherever you are. I am missing you so much. Hope we meet again one day and play snake and leader.

I miss the person that I could have been. I miss my brain and the abilty to think straight.

I miss my wife... I'll see her again in 11 days.

I miss my little boy, I'll see him in 11 days again too.

Working away from home sucks.

I miss the man my husband used to be. This new man is a stranger fading fast. I miss him more and more.

I'm missing my mom's voice and laughter. I'm missing not being able to see her in something other then my dreams or thoughts, and touching her.

Britt, I dream about my parents a lot, even though they have been gone a few years now to Heaven. The dreams are sweet for the most part now and give me a happy feeling upon waking sometimes, as if I really had been with them. THis does not happen so often with my hubby, who passed some 8 years ago now, so maybe these kinds of dreams fade away more and more as time passes.

I do miss them all in real/waking life though, however, again, not as much as I used to when they had passed away only more recently.

I miss my brother who died when I was 14. He would have been 48 in December.

 

[Charmedone]

I miss my grandad and nieces and nephews and best friends and clients and their kids, miss my littlies at nursery and not being able to walk down the street without a child I have taught saying "hello miss..." And wrapping their arms around me, I miss being so proud of my work, I miss feeling like I do make a difference, I miss my brother who is in jail and I miss those I loved and lost...I miss when I needed nobody to get by...

Most of all, and I know it sounds shallow, pathetic, superficial :( but most of all right now I miss my hair :(...miss my f*cked up 'bed head' where it would be sticking up at all angles because I moved so much in my sleep, I miss having it tied back and running my fingers through it, I even miss cussing it cause it was so long the tats would be unbearable sometimes that the scissors came out! Lol

 

[p-no]

I am missing my friend S. and my godchild J.
