I loved you best

I Loved You Best
By Jim Willis
So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed
,the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I loved you best.

My mom sent my Meeshka's blog one day and now I read it often. I have a poem for you.

Let the pain flow down the river,
Let the tears go down to.
Let the pain flow down the river,
Then up to heaven close to you.
I think of you daily,
I know you think of me each night.
Let the pain flow down the river,
The rainbow is in sight.

Happy Birfday in Heaven Sasha!

We're sorry we're so late in posting a note. We all hope you had a wonderful birthday North of the Bridge, we're sure our Starr & Ice were there to help share in your celebration. You were one of our very first friends when we started blogging, and we'll miss you terribly, but we're all happy for you that you can run & play, and be young again, and all the pain is behind you.
Our mama is leaking from her eyes again, she thought she'd gotten past that, but for the humans the pain never really stops, with time it does grow bittersweet though. Our whole pack sends loving hugs and healing kisses to your pack in this time of loss & sorrow.
Soft sad woos,
The River Hill Pack & mom
