Passing of a loved one

Beloved Sparky
For you from our hearts
we painted these blessing stones





We have had our 19yrold cat being in our playroom
He became in need of shelter inside,
and to be close to us all the time.....................

We all cared for him,
the children learnt tolerance
as sparky wanted to be with them and would be in their way of playing
so they made room and became patient with him........

Many cuddles and pats..........................

Then sparky took a rapid turn for the worse......
then he died..........
we all grieved and cried....saying goodbye......

we returned his body to mother earth
with an abundance of flowers and leaves
and offered humble blessings of water
and handfuls of dirt
as we created his resting place next to his sister....

O sparky we are going to missyou
you meant alot to us all
thankyou for being you
and blessing us all with your special ways......

This has been a hard and beautiful lesson
about how important it is to love and care......
to all who share our lives........and share our days...

(life will never be the same without you greeting me each morning)

.........a beautiful soul who journeyed with me for so long..........


A friend shared this with me today..
Thankyou Mike

You can shead tears that he is gone
Or you can smile
because he lived,

You can close your eyes
and pray that he`ll come back,
Or you can open your eyes
and see all he has left

Your heart can be empty
because you can`t see him,
Or you can be full
of the love you shared

You can turn your back
on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow
because of yesterday

you can remember him
only that he is gone,
Or you can cherish his memory
and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind
be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he`ll want

Smile................
Open your eyes.....
Love and go on.................
