Tears flow..The poetry is so beautiful, Lady J.. I thank Him for giving us pets to love..though that love really hurts sometimes, (((Dolly))).
I think I started posting at the Finest after my Purty died and I saw how many pet lovers were here..I was unable to even mention my loss for awhile..I was too new.. too shy and upset to share I suppose.
God saw I needed to unlock my heart, risk a loss again, so He sent Silky for me to care for. He softened me up with all the other kitties I enjoyed and helped care for at my daughter’s home..I still feel the loss..but have made space in my heart finally.
Sending more HUGS.
Meg what you say is so true. our loses are so profound that it is hard to think of another animal being there.. but when we realize that God wants us to care for yet another of his creations & learn a few more lessons ourself from them, it is easier.
I didn’t know about Purty.. I am sorry. I know how much the loses even from years prior can be raw to the soul.
