when a pet dies
that special, warm place in our hearts
suddenly becomes empty
it will take time to struggle through the loss
but we realize
as time passes
that all animals have a way of teaching us about
love
loyalty
joy
and friendship
and whatever we've shared in their presence
can never really be lost
to my blogger friends & sisters ~~
thank you...
thank you
for your sweet words
your comforting words
your encouraging words
and most of all ~ your prayers
you bless me in ways i can not comprehend
i love you all
♥
and when there comes a time when you're feeling
complete and utter sadness
heartbreaking loss
and your soul is searching for a place of comfort
seek out
kerrie is waiting for you there
with kind words
a loving embrace
and bright hope
through her words
you will experience God's love and peace
in ways you've never known
and your heart
will be healed
♥
{ with loving hugs }

"he calms the storm
so that its waves are still
then they are glad because they are quiet
so he guides them to their desired haven."
psalm 107:29-30

Oh, Laurie- I wasn't sure if you get emailed when comments are added to your old posts so I am re-posting this here.
ReplyDeleteI missed the post about your loss. I am soo, soo sorry. I know we have talked about our pets in the past...and losing them does leave a hole that nothing else can ever quite fill.
I hate that this happened so close to Christmas for you and Roger. Know that I am saying a prayer for you now that you look back and remember the joy and that it will edge out the heartache! Hugs my dear, sweet, loving friend- xxoo Diana
I'm so sorry for your loss, Laurie. I know how you feel and even this post brought tears to my eyes remembering my Max. He was such a huge part of my life and more a friend than a pet.
ReplyDeleteIt does get better, but they'll always be in our hearts.
Best wishes,
Kathleen
Still thinking about you, always .... xox
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful words! No one really ever dies..., if only we could see! Some people do and "feel" the presence of a loved one even when not in the body anymore. Best wishes!!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. Our pets are our family and loved ones. They bring such joy. May your memories bring you peace.
ReplyDeleteOh, Laurie. I am just now catching up with you and I am so sorry to read of your sweet girl. I remember your first post about Rainbow Bridge and it brought tears to my eyes. Wishing you peace as your remember and grieve your beloved friend. Thank you so much for a thoughtful post and I echo your sentiments right back at you. I appreciate your friendship and kind words more than you know. You're just a really good & pure soul, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteChristmas blessings,

Hey there my sweet bloggy friend! I'm sooo sorry for this news. All of your animals are so blessed to have you as their caregiver...they truly are! It makes me smile seeing how much you love them...they're just precious! I have been overly busy so sorry it's been a bit since I've given you a "shout-out" ha! I just had to send a huge hug to one of the sweetest girls on the block :) Only the very best to you and yours this Holiday!
