The Tribute Video

It's been one month since Captain left us. Of course, I miss him. Every day. Our lives have carried on, as they have had to, but as one of my friends put it: grief is not linear. 

It was not easy to put together a video with the lofty goal of summarizing his life. I'm sure there are hundreds more versions I could have made, including entirely different, but still favorite, photos of moments with him. But no matter what version I'd make, this song would have to be the backdrop.  It was running in my mind during our last weeks with Captain, especially the line, "Love of mine..." 


I hope it makes you smile (and not just cry), and remember your Vizsla, if you have lost one, with happy memories. I used to collect quotes, and I've always liked this one: "You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who have touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you." Captain, most certainly, made me more.

A goodbye is never really the end for true friends or loves. So, til later, Captain.
