There are so many who have gone from us that I miss so much. It began when I lost my grandparents, and then my aunts, uncles, and cousins. When coming from a large family, it seems that the older we get, we attend more funerals. It is a bitter sweet time. Bitter in that they are no longer with us, sweet in that they are now with their heavenly family. They are missed everyday.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss Dad and John. I laugh about many fond memories, and I cry because they aren't here to share the good times. I loved them so much and miss them even more!
I found the following poem when browsing through my sites for inspiration. This particular site was for pets. There are many poems, verses, saying, that express our grief and the many emotions we are experiencing since Toby passed away - four weeks ago today. It helps to know we aren't the only ones who have had these feelings. There are still many who think we are being silly. He was a member of our family for over 14 years - he was our family!
The picture of the bridge is a painting that I envision being "A Bridge of Love." The beauty surrounding the bridge is what I feel it might be like if we were to cross the "bridge of love" and remember all our loved ones - pets included!
A Bridge Called Love
It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us
It's the bridge that we call love.
