Dooks again !! Sure by know that most of you have heard of Kat Parsons. I have never met her, but I know what a warm caring person she is. I have seen some of the tributes she has done for others. Most of you know that there was a period last year when I had to say goodbye to quite a few kids. One I had to help to The Bridge, the others left on their own. It's never easy to say "Good-bye" and my heart still aches thinking of them. Many a time I will sit in the room and play with the kids and something will bring back memories. All I can do is cry. When I hear that someone has lost a kid I try to send out a card to them. Sometimes I just can't for one reason or the other. I can sit here and share their grief, then I have to spend time with my kids. Just holding them, loving them, playing with them. Enjoying every minute I can, making every memory I can. Earlier this evening I sent her a card about her loss of Old Guy. In her post the other day she mentioned a URL she was sent about "Letting Go" and how she knew it was time to let Old Guy go. I sat in the room and enjoyed being with the kids. My "Old Guy" Simon (6yrs) came over to me and gave me that 'hold me' look. Simon is one who doesn't like to be held for very long. Normally just a few seconds and he is on his way. Tonight was different though. Tonight he stayed in my arms and just let me pet him. I thought about what it will be like when it is his time to go. I began to cry and he responded by giving me fuzzy kisses. No, it's never easy to let go, or say goodbye. For all who have lost a fur-child, my heart goes out to you. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I share your grief . . . . .and I share your tears. Hug your fuzzies while you can, hold them in your heart when you can't.
