He took a part of me with him. I know that I will never be whole again and still I will celebrate who he was and whatever his spirit does now with all that I can. This morning when there were over 100 head of elk in the back pasture, I cried. I cried because he wasn't here to see them with me.
I guess I hope that he was the one who herded them my way so I could see them.
It reminded me of the simple headstone I placed for him high on the mountain on the reservation. It came from my heart and gave my hope "Mark Walks With Elk" Thank Mark for bringing the herd and making me smile, cry and remember. That hole in my heart seems to grow daily. Someday I will figure it out.

I talk to Mark all the time. Sometimes his dang cat comes running. Mark found the cat. The mother cat had been hit by a car in front of the house. He brought him home and cussed him while he fed him with an eyedropper. Mark's not here, but we have cat - now cat is a mighty hunter and HUGE. I wonder if I can get some good pictures of the elk. I might try that this evening. Thank you so much for being here today. I needed it more than you will ever know.

You are so strong. I wish I had that in me. Maybe it comes with time?

@Writingghost I never ever feel strong. Remember that. And I know time has to help. Hugs to you.

Mark is with God, in heaven at this time. He watches over you, even though it seems hard to believe. Of course you miss him. There will always be a vacant spot inside your heart, that only Mark can fill. Yet, one day you will be seeing him again, sharing loving hugs for all eternity! This is a promise the Lord gives, to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ, his son

I feel the elk were a sign. Remember the good times and know that you will see him again one day.
