Night, Baby.
Every night, I say 'Night' to you still, forever in my heart, you are, tonight, each night, forever
and always...
Smudge, old age finally caught up with you. You came to live with us in April 2006. Two years and
seven months you were. You hung on and hung on, you didn't want to leave me. I stayed by your side
to the end. You knew I was there for you I know.
-12th September 2009 -
Smudge, a year has passed. I can't believe it's been a whole year. Time has flown as has your sweet
soul. I hope you are happy, sweetheart. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you. You brought
such joy into my life. My guiding light.
I treasure your memory. I miss you a lifetime, my gorgeous little boy.

Night falls,
but day dawns to replace it...
Grief comes,
but time will ease the pain...
Life ends,
but death cannot erase it...
In memory,
love always will remain.
There are those
whose lives
death cannot diminish.
Their love radiates
forever in the hearts
of friends
and loved ones,
and their light shines on
in the lives
they've touched
for so many years.

Summerlands
Just the other side of death's curtain are the Summerlands. All the pets who have died go through this curtain and though they can still watch us, we can't see them. Sometimes the curtain is thin in places and we catch a glimpse of our lost companion waiting on the other side. Sometimes the curtain twitches as they look through at us and we can feel them or feel a sudden draft as the curtain falls back into place. The Summerlands exist in the long, lazy late afternoons of an eternal golden summer of remembered childhood; the time when everything seems most alive and sweetest smelling. Our animals are young again and turned to perfect health. There is always space and time to play and love, places to be with others and places to be alone together. When our time comes, the curtain is lifted from our eyes and we can see the Summerlands ourselves. Waiting there for us are the animals and people we loved in life and we can see them clearly at last. The time has come for us to move away from the curtain and renew these interrupted friendships. Sometimes we can't help but take a peek through the curtain just to see how our own loved ones are doing before they come to join us.

Some day there will be no tears,
For they will be wiped away.
I will hold on to that promise.
As I live each and everyday.
Someday we will meet again,
Though heaven keeps us apart.
For you will always be with me,
I shall carry you in my heart!
Someday we will share joy again,
When I join you in eternity.
But for now you will always be to me,
A precious memory.

Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days.
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments, however, can be spectacular.
YOU were our brief rainbow.
You entered our life
And stayed but a short while.
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight,
Joy and smiles,
Charm and beauty,
Gaiety and silliness,
Sunlight and moonbeams,
Giggles and love (ad infinitum)...
Made the deluge,
The tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,
Insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,
Emptiness and loneliness
Bearable
Rainbows, however brief,
Make the world a brighter, lovelier place.
How grateful we are that we had you,
Our brief rainbow.
(Peggy Kociscin)
♥ HEARTSTRINGS ♥
When those we love go away, they never really leave us;
they are with us now, wherever we are.
Those whom we have cherished, live on forever,
for love wraps itself around the heart.
Although it's difficult now,
someday beyond our tears and all the world's wrongs;
beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch,
we shall all understand.

♥ Peace My Heart ♥
♥ Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
♥ Let it not be a death but completeness.
♥ Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
♥ Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
♥ Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
♥ Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
♥ I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.

~ Snow ~
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The snow arrived unannounced.
It overwhelmed everything.
Changed the landscape so it was unrecognisable.
No one was prepared.
My grief feels like that snowstorm.
I feel changed, weighed down by the burden.
Trying to negotiate the new environment around me.
Not knowing where I am going.
Looking for familiar landmarks.
I feel cold and miserable and ill equipped in this new place unvisited before.
But I know in time the snow will melt and return the landscape to some semblance of normality.
And I know in time my grief will diminish and I will find my way forward again, back to a world that I recognise, changed, but familiar.
Spring does always come after winter and hope will return.
My spirit
look not where I was
for I am not there
My spirit is free
I am everywhere
In the air that you breathe
in the sounds that you hear
Don't cry for me mom
My spirit is near
I'll watch for you
from the other side
I'll be the one running
new friends by my side
Smile at my memory
remember in your heart
This isn't the end
it's a brand new start

The truest words of all I will not forget you
You are in my waking thoughts,
my sweetest memories, my dearest dreams.
I will not forget you
You have touched my soul, opened my eyes,
changed my very experience of the universe.
I will not forget you.
I see you in the flowers, the sunset,
the sweep of the horizon
and all things that stretch to infinity.
I will not forget you.
I have carved you on the palm of my hand.
I carry you with me forever.

Always remembered, always loved. xxx
♥Remembering You♥
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
