Once I started this blog with the aim to tell the life and love story of my beloved pet duck Pipke. Unfortunate she died on September 14, 2009. She became 14 years and 3 months old. She was my faithful mate and the best that could happen to me. Under the label “Pipke” you can find all I wrote about her. On my second blog: ”Life Story of a Duck” I started to tell her story from her birth on. If you are interested to read it then click on the link: "Pipke's Life Story"! Hope to see you there!
You should take into account: English is not my native language and I've learned it through self study. I know it's not at all perfect. Therefore: knowing my shortcomings I always think of the quote Henry Van Dyke wrote: “Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best". I work on it to achieve a better result. Practice makes perfect!
Please be honest and don't copy things of my blog and paste your name on it. I've worked very hard on it, so it belongs to me. If you want to copy images or contents ask my permission before you use them or at least: mention the source. I deserve it! If you abide yourself to this rule than you can say: I'm honest! That's something to be proud of. Thank you for being honest.

We love whom we love Fran...I'm sorry you have pain in your heart. Maybe one day there will be more joy for you in little Pipke's memories and less hurt. But today is a reminder of what you have lost, and it is painful to remember. Big hugs to you Fran dear.
ReplyDeletea picture is worth a 1000 words indeed
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful and sentimental picture-it's just full of emotion
i have a picture of waylon at his last birthday party 9 days before he died. he looks sick and you can see the cancerous growth on his neck. whenever i see it all the pain from knowing the end was inevitable comes rushing back
i'm never sure if i'm thankful to have that picture or not...i think i am
yours is so much more lovely...but i'm sure it brings a lot of emotions with it
thank you for sharing
To Michelle, Jeannie and Tabitha
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comforting words.
Michelle: l thank you for nominating my blog, it's a real honor that you've mentioned me.
Jeannie: I never could imagine that Pipke's dead would become such a traumatic event in my life. She was the best that could happen to me, and yes I cherish the beatiful time we had together and these memories give me much joy, but at the moment I relive her very last fight. I experienced every single moment of that very last fight so intense that it's burned into my memory. I can't get rid of it. The hugs were very welcome!:)
Tabitha: you say “I'm never sure if I'm thankful to have that picture or not...I think I am”. Well I think the same way. I'm also thankful that I also have pictures of the last months of her life, but I avoid to see them too often. Yes it still hurts so much.
On the picture that I showed you here she was still in a reasanable condition but I have also many other images where you really can see her deteriorate from day to day and that of course is not so pleasant to see. But – it was the reality and I can't change that, this is how it happened. Now I have doubts if I would show them too in her life story.
