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! Sandee [Posted in FML issue 4821]
