Tribute to my daddy

Tribute to my daddy

James M Long 1933-2009

My daddy was my rock in this world. He was for me the only man in my life that was certain and constant. 3 years ago today he went to heaven. I miss him and I love him.

I have had a hard week of loss but I'm glad that I have loved. It is not good bye, its fair well till we are together again in heaven when my job here is finished. Daddy welcome my little doggies there with you please; let them know I'll be there one day too. Thank you for being my daddy.

Tribute to Gracie

Tribute to Gracie

1994-2009

Gracie. This wonderful faithful friend was the mother of Bill, Ed & Bu (the 'bitties'), and many others. She has left her imprint on my heart forever. Her companionship through many years was God's gift to me to help me get through hard times, and to celebrate with me and my children the joys of our lives. Gracie endured trials like a champion, gave unconditionally her whole heart, patiently and gracefully helped me raise my children to care for little ones with 4 feet, kept me warm at nite, happily helped keep my floors clean any time a morsel of food was 'accentally' dropped, and never argued about anything that came her way.

She has been dearly missed.

RIP Gracie.

I love you forever.

Tribute to Bu - BuBiddy - Pinky

1996-2012

Bu (Pinky) This little girl had more personality than anyone else I've ever known. She was spunky and bright and commanded attention even to the end. Her expression was always joyful even when she was grrrrrrring at me for touching her bottom.

RIP Bu.

I love you forever.

Tribute to Ed - EdBiddy - Gypsy

Ed (Gypsy) was pure and simple love. Devotion, patient, sweet, kind, affectionate and wanted nothing more in this life than to be with me wherever I was.

RIP Ed.

I love you forever.

... if he wakes in Your arms...by R. A. S.

I can hardly see through my tears... today I sent my best friend of years
and years somewhere he had to go, where pain and sickness he won't have to know.
He's been with me ever since he was a pup... today I've had to give him up.
He was sick, we both knew it and I wouldn't put him through it.

Thinking back to the day my wife brought him, I told her then that I didn't want him...
"Noise and mess and bills to pay!" - I can't believe I felt that way.
Didn't know that in the end, he would be my dearest friend.
Didn't know that he would be the greatest gift that came to me.

How did one like me deserve a friend who wanted just to serve?
What was there that made him love me, with nobody else above me?
When I looked into his eyes, never did he criticize,
never did he hold a grudge, never did he try to judge.

Recently, an anxious day. "How come you don't want to play?"
Took him to the vet to see what might be wrong with my "puppy".
Worse by far than I expected, fatal illness was detected.
Nothing much that we could do but keep him comfy til he's through.

Back at home I tried to tell him of the bad luck that befell him
All I could see in his eyes was wondering why his master cries.
I don't think he understood - his eyes just asked "Wasn't I good?"
"How come now I make you sad? Let me kiss and hug you, dad!"

Two last weeks I had to try to find a way to say goodbye.
In that time I told him more than I ever had before
just how much I loved my pup, how it hurt to give him up.
How though gone, he'd always be inside my heart, a part of me.

Then today was no mistaking, I made the decision, my heart was breaking.
I called and asked the vet to come by - I didn't have to tell him why.
He arrived in awhile and asked "Are you ready?" I sighed, I nodded, I felt so unsteady.
Got down on the floor by my boy who was dying, and I just didn't care if the vet saw me crying.

As my pup slipped away, the last things he felt were the kisses and hugs of his master who knelt
On that "blankie" beside him to bid him goodbye, who had just one more minute to tell him, to try
to say thanks to his boy for a lifetime of love.... "Dear God, let me see him in heaven above!
But for now Lord, please hold him, watch over his rest... if he wakes in Your arms tell him I love him best."

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, they go to this place. There is always food, water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.

There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!

You have been seen! And when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

Thanks Marc for sending me this. xoxo
