IBE, I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get online to pass on my thoughts and prayers to you and condolences for your loss. We have two "babies" both rescues from no kill shelters and they are our babies ..... My heart goes out to you as I know one day before long, I will be in your shoes. Our oldest is going blind and has health issues but as long as he is happy and not in pain we will do whatever we can to keep him happy and comfortable. I have enclosed a poem for you that soothes my heart whenever I think of the inevitable:
Little Angels Poem (author unknown)
Little angels from up above
sent to us so full of love.
Never judging, always there
a faithful heart that is so rare.
Gentle Eyes, Shining Bright
an energy of holy light.
Loyalty that is unmatched,
so easily we are attached.
A love so pure, none to compare
sweet memories that we have shared.
Never could one have dreamed,
the impact from this little being.
They touch our lives, more than we can know
we live with them and watch them grow.
Share our laughs and our cries,
always soothed with loving eyes.
Little angels so strong and true,
they live their lives, just for you.
Goodbye for now, we will meet again
My sweet and pure angelic friend.
Our hearts are with you IBE!
