We received a Sympathy card from our vet today, it had a beautiful poem in it, it read like this..
Time to Say Good-bye
As we lay our hands upon you,
Before your final rest,
Our hearts surround to love you,
And thank you for your your best.
Our home you watched& Treasured,
our lives you truly blessed.
Lessening now your burdens,
We tend your tired bones.
Let us be your pillow,
Then wings to take you home.
Listen for God's calling,
Sweet promises of peace.
Old friend, Leap to Heaven,
Suffering Released!
I thought that was the most comforting poem to me,
I felt a feeling of relief, I have been so upset, some people ask me Why do you grieve so much for a animal, Well there not just an animal, there our family , one of our children, and they should be missed , just as much as the rest of our family when they go on to the other side. I loved my Skipper so much, and now I can move on and feel that he has taken his Leap, and is feeling just fine now.
Skippers Mom. :angel1:
P.S I cant figure out how to add a photo so everyone can see Skipper, if any one knows how let me know.
