Red Sparrows Song....

Today, marks 12 years to Coco’s coming in my life, Prior to that It had been 8 years of such strife & struggle of health downfall, that no medical science could diagnose. Years later one test showed my muscles are 80% weak, inspite of all MRI scans normal. No therapies availed, as the pain would get so excruciating often leaving me bedridden for months.

Prior to Cocos coming we frequented many a doctors only to be told that some pains can’t be diagnosed. We often think living in the 20th century one has all knowledge to one’s disposal. Yet I beg to defer

After Cocos coming I stopped this maddening chase of doctors, as I found a Piece of myself that was Believed in his eyes, Validated, Acknowledged for the pain I had been battling along with mental & emotional agony as most invisible pains are judged

Cocos energy opened all that numbness & unearthed that artist in me.

He’s a trained therapy dog with an NGO- Animal Angels & that led to a whole new dimension to my pain

Having him besides my bedridden episode’s reduced as his Love motivated me to push my limits. So in-sync his energy is with mine, that even before inflammation triggers, he alerts me to slow down. It’s been 2decades now & along with weak muscles, the entire nervous system is failing, leaving me breathless for weeks & unable to even speak

If I could put in words, what Cocos love is-

.

To my soft sobs that trickle down my cheeks, He’s cried often so that I may no longer weep, to the hopeless nights where he’s sailed along rock-bottom with me, so that, in him my anchor shall not waver & give up on life’s gift! To many a springs that he’s breathed as Sun into me, where butterflies of Joy whispered; “Don’t give up, Follow your dreams”. To the Confidence he’s invoked on days I can’t walk nor breathe, To the Faith in His Eyes, that says- nothing is impossible for I have him. To Souls who walk this earth, unheeded & forlorn, where they in their Silence have battled innumerable storms. He’s shown what A Miracle life truly is & if I stand here inspite of all the dark clouds, he’s Shown Love Alone can Rainbow Breathe!

Where Science fails, Love Alone Saves!
