Hi all. My condolences to all of you, who like myself, are grieving for a lost fuzzy. I stumbled across a website - and found this poem and I wanted to share it with you all. It made me feel somewhat better - and I hope it helps some of you too. I hope that one day - someone will find a way to help us keep out fuzzbutts alive, for just a little longer.......*One More day*..... anyways, ferret hugs and kisses to you all. I hope you find this poem helpful as I did.... p.s. I substituted some words - "animals" with "ferrets" in a couple spots.... Beyond The Rainbow. As much as I loved the life we had, and all the times we played, - I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade. I saw a wonderous image then of a place that's trouble free, where all of us can meet again to spend eternity. I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side, were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide!! Running through the meadows - as far as the eye could see, were ferrets of every sort, as healthy as could be!! My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new and I wanted to go and run with thiem, but I had something left to do. I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'M ALRIGHT, that this place is truly wonderful, when a bright glow pierced the night!? T'was the glow of many candles, shining bright, strong and bold, and I knew then that I was seeing your love for me, in brilliant shades of gold! For although we may not be together, in the way we used to be, we are still connected by a cord, that no other eye can see. So when you need to find me, know we're never far apart, if you look beyond the Rainbow - and listen with your heart! Kim and her Albuquerque Idiots, missing Ricky and Helena Lord, help me to be grateful for what I have, and not greedy for what I want..... [Posted in FML 5939]
