A little report on the day...son called around 9:00 and I’m not ashamed that my ‘boy’ was crying...I started too. His words were “Mom, she won’t have to suffer anymore”. He wanted to bury her at my place because he sold his house a few months ago and will be moving in February. He wants to get some land and build.
He fixed a wooden box (very nice)and I stayed with him as he dug and fixed the grave and we put her in and finished. We got control of ourselves for that time. I didn’t want to go to Red Hats but decided I should or just stay home and cry.
He had lots to do today and is doing better tonight.
Went to one of favorite places for lunch “The Swallow Tail”, in Abingdon, Va. Got home about 4 and had to change clothes to go to funeral home visitation for my friend and daughter. She is doing okay but its been a long ordeal for her. A couple of friends picked me up.
The day is almost over with lots of sadness but with some laughing and happiness with a loud bunch of my gal friends.
Put a bunch of women together and we can make fun!
Thanks to you all for your sweet messages today and the beautiful posts and cute posts. I haven’t answered each individual but I have viewed them all. You all are the greatest!! I am a very fortunate person to have all of you! I am serious!!
You have a lot of sadness in your life right now and I pray that God will comfort you as only God can.
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I purred to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I’m not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said “it’s me.”
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It’s possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say “goodnight, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning.”
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.
Dear Jaycee
I’m sorry to hear this news of your day.
My thoughts and prayers.
Hugs
We Love you, jaycee, and More Prayers will Arise to our Lord when I Retire for the Night. I’m So Sorry your Son is having to Feel the Hurt of Losing a Kitty; I’ve had Many Kitties Over the Years, and it was So Painful to Lose Each One. :( It’s Good that he Wants to Place her at your House; when I Lost my Sweet Friend, Fang-Face, a Few Years Ago, I was still Living in the City, but my Husband and I had Recently Bought the King’s Ranch, and we Buried him Here at the Ranch. Just Thinking of him Brings Tears to my Eyes. My Heartfelt Prayers are with your Son, and I’ll Remember your Friend who Lost her Daughter in my Bedtime Prayers as Well.
