tribute to a grand old lady

jeffers · 06-19-2009, 12:46 PM

the days have passed quickly since you took your last walk
to your favourite place where we sat to talk.
i miss you hiding behind a tree
tail wagging which you thought i couldnt see
jumping skipping through the field
secretly hoping a rabbit would yield.

running on..... racing ahead and then,
stopping in your tracks......dead
looking back checking to see
if the person coming was really me.

i miss all your silly eccentric ways
and will remember them forever....... all my days.
i loved you old girl i never thought we would part
and now you have gone
it has broken my heart
and although ive now got a new friend
id give a kings ransom to have you back agen

This brought tears to my old eyes. How beautiful!! You certainly wrote from your heart!!! Hope each day brings you a little closer to finding some peace.

Take care!

yesterday wa s a terrible day. it is two months since the grand old lady went and theres not a day goes by that i dont think of her. she was a true loyal and faithful friend and i sometimes feel guilty that i didnt find other treatments till it was to late. she will be with me forever and i wish every one very good luck in dealing with this terrible cancer.

Sorry to hear that. 6 month mark is pretty hard too.

Dear Jeff,
I totally understand your tears and pain. I don't know if I will ever get over losing Benny and out of the blue I will find myself remembering something and crying my eyes out. When I think of him my heart beats a little faster and I can feel his presence and smell his sweet scent still.

Nice to be able to come here and share. Everyone understands and nobody judges our feelings of loss.

Blessings,
Joanne
