Vachon Vincent Maberry found his way to the bridge the afternoon before
St  Patrick's Day.  We had long been expecting him, although I know
his family was not ready for him to go.  BreAnna, Tabitha Ann, and
AriAnna were with me at the foot of the bridge to greet him.  He seemed
reconciled with where he was.  The girls asked him if he was okay with
being here before I could and he very peacefully said, yes.  His
contentment came from his life on earth and the love from his family.
He then got a sly look on his face, his red eyes began to blaze and then
he danced about so much his halo tilted!  The girls looked stunned.  Then
he tackled them and wrestled with them until they giggled and joined in.
What a beautiful albino boy.  I should have such lovely fur!
 
Anyway, when they were done playing, I asked him, "Hey ... where'd you
get that sparkle in your eyes?" He said his momma gave it to him.  I
wanna sparkle!  Hmmf!  Those bright eyes of his saw the treat bar.  We
all needed treats right then anyway.  So we all tipped back a ferretone
or two.  But Vachon had his face in a dish of finely chopped bananas!
Whenever BriAnna wasn't looking, he stole a cheerio from her plate, the
thief.  Before he got into trouble, I told him that we had two more
little souls to find.
 
Off we went through the Foamy Fry Forest, and over Fleece Mountain.  Into
Sofa World we went to find Carmen and Nicole who had a pile of toys.  I
wasn't quite ready for that reunion.  Especially between Nicole and
Vachon.  Nicole just seemed to follow Vincent everywhere, and Vincent
got a kick out of pushing the envelope and testing her.  I told them
that they had eternity to tease each other, dash about, and jump around
together.  But we had one more visit to make, but not before I assured
him that all toys are safe up here ... just like his toys are safe on
earth.
 
We got a pass to see Grandpa Jack.  All those furries and doggies at his
feet!  And there Vincent was, in his lap, reaching up kissing his lips
over and over again.  He'd stop, then he'd reach up and do it again.
Vincent is allowed an instant pass whenever he wants to be in Jack's lap
or to be held and give him kisses.  They will keep each other warm until
Vachon's mommy comes to sweep him and the rest of the family away.  Poor
Grandpa Jack.  Sentenced to have his lips licked raw until Vincent's mom
gets here!!  He better be careful of those French kisses!
