Year After Year

I can picture Ace passing

And I'm not by his side

To hold him through his transition

I'm not there to hold him

With such compassion,

It hurts to the core

That I couldn't be there

For my baby that I adored,

There was an instinct for awhile

That something was wrong

Just couldn't pinpoint

All this time,

You were so loving

And so carefree

I miss you so much

My loving baby,

I know your in a better place

No longer suffering

You are healthy now

And you are much more safe,

You will never be forgotten

You are held in that special place

In the depth of my heart...

I love you dearly

And you will forever be missed

Year after year.

This piece talks of the undying and compassionate love that you have to another member of your family. The sadness and longing for someone who has been missing in our lives have always let us hope for the goodness and safety of the other side despite the opposite experience he/she had on Earth. I thank you again for letting me read this. It's hard to get over the death of someone especially close to us and I hope you can, one day, keep happy memories of him instead of the sufferings you have witnessed.

[quinfinn]

there are some people who believe that we have a psychic connection to our pets, that when your dog or cat sits and looks at you they are actually communicating with a form of telepathy, which some of us (even unwittingly) pick up on. i have always believed that my dog, Boo, always knew exactly what i was thinking. the day she disappeared she had begged me not to leave her....weird. anyway, i feel your particular connection and your pain in this write about your beloved Ace.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much for understanding - What you are saying is so true. I always knew exactly what he wanted or needed. I always knew before he was going to have a seizure too. It was all quite interesting and still is. Thank you again for understanding.

This one made me burst into tears.. I feel your pain.. Nicely done for Ace..

[Tarry Franck]

Didn't mean to make you cry! I've been crying off and on all day...I'm just so sad I was not there with him. And a piece of me is gone. A piece of my family.

[Lover Of Words]

Ah i always already crying when i read this...I know its hard

[Tarry Franck]

Yes, it most certainly is. I have my good moments and great memories of him and then the sad moments hit also and I just feel at a loss.

[Lover Of Words]

I know it is and i know you do he is is your heart...

[Frieda P]

Another loving tribute to your beloved Ace. I feel your pain, I miss my Luna too. Nicely pen'd.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much Frieda and again sorry for your loss too. I love the name Luna - we had a set of twin goats that I named Luna and Bella. Just love those names!!!!

[Frieda P]

Awh sweet, pet goats, now that's a handful.

[Tarry Franck]

Yes, they were. We had so many of them. The largest one we had weighed 350 lbs.
My mother named him Big John. LOL

[Frieda P]

OMG, I had a friend we called Big John, he probably just rolled over! ;-)

[Tarry Franck]

Awe ;-)

[Frieda P]

Nah he was happy, he said when he went he wanted to be sitting on a bar stool w/a beer in his hand, sure enough!

[Tarry Franck]

LOL

[Frieda P]

He was Irish, ha....got his wish, he's probably laughing at us right now!
