Saw this and thought of you and others who have suffered loss We've been asked many times to re-post this poem since we first shared it many months ago. Sorry, but we do not know the author or the artist of the picture. For anyone who has lost a loved one...... Afterlife & A Loss For Words I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying...you found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear. "It's me, I haven't left you...I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea. You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care. I want to reassure you that I am not lying there. I walked with you toward the house, as you fumbled for your key, I gently put my paw on you. I smiled and said, "It's me." You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there. It's possible for me to be so near you every day. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over...I smile and watch you yawning And say, "Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning." And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we will stand, side-by-side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me. -Author Unknown
When I lose a dog, I take comfort in knowing they've had the best life, lived to the full. All U can hope for anyone I guess man or beast.

ty x I walk the other 2 past the spot where the silly bugger started his chase. I see a whippet won the hound section at crufts, reminded me of the stupid little sod!
