I often confided in my Gramma that I wished I didn’t have such big feet (they are a size 10) I knew she’d understand, as Gramma’s always do! Her reply to my dilemma was always the same, telling me that it was good to have big feet, as they were a solid foundation on which to stand. She could always take a negative and easily see the positive in it…that is one of the things I loved the most about her.
Last night, Gramma passed away quietly, surrounded by family and love.
I love you Gramma, and will miss you so very much.
For our little friend Kiki, who died on Tuesday. She was “just a bird” but she was our pet, and will be sadly missed in our home.
Your little body was too hurt, and you were too weak to tend,
And so your short but happy life has come to it’s quiet end.
There’s an empty space upon the shelf where your cage used to sit,
I try to place a treasure there, but nothing seems to fit.
I listen to the silence and I wait to hear your call,
But the quiet that I hear must be the worst sound of them all.
I need this hurt I feel to leave, but don’t know where to start,
Just promise that forever you will stay within my heart.
If you know someone with children who is experiencing pet loss, this web-site might help.
