A YEAR AGO TODAY
31 December 2011

Flicka, Tigger and Daisy,
thank you for the precious gift
of Benji and Cleo
a year ago today.
I love them with all my heart
as they do me
as you know
and knew
we all would.

I ache my heart raw
for you, Flicka, Tigger and Daisy,
but we on Earth,
Benji and Cleo and I,
feel your love and presence
around us every moment of every day.

Thank you, my darling furry babies
on Earth and in Heaven
and all my furry babies who preceded you
who are with you, Flicka, Tigger and Daisy.
We three earthlings know
that you Heavenly babies will welcome
each one of us
when we reach the Gates of Heaven.
I love you all, my darlings, here on Earth and in Heaven..
May you all know and feel
my love and adoration for you
forever more
as I do yours.
Oh, what a comforting circle
of peace
and happiness
and blessing
to be part of!

One day, we will all be
in together-bliss-blessed happiness
in the joyous freedom of Heaven.

Owl

I feel this, Owl, having lost two of my own "furry babies" in the last couple of years. Love to you and your little family.

Ah, thank you, Ida, for your kind heart-words.  Very empathetic hugs for the loss of your furry babies.  I know the ache is indescribable.

I'm so glad that loving gift was able to ease the awful aching, though you'll always remember and miss... and pray the three of you have a long and happy life together! *S*

Thank you so much, Ruth, for your kindness and empathy, not only now, but also, along with Kate and Colin, when you helped me through the worst of those times.
