To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to
have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me
my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave
to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green,
butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon
all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth.
There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so
rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like
me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are
loved and missed as surely as we are.
Your Pets In Heaven
