Does Time Heal?

Sometimes I think it does, and other times I wonder. Its been about a month since we lost Jack and to this day I sometimes can't believe he is actually gone. I still miss him very much. There are still times where I almost forget that he is gone but it hits me soon enough that he is. We recently got a new puppy for my daughter's birthday, she has been wanting a puppy for as long as I can remember. "Bandit" will never replace Jack, no animal ever could, but he definitely keeps us busy, which of course helps. I'm tearing up as I write this and I wonder if the sadness will ever completely go away. I don't know....Jack was so very special.
