Dear Sue, This took me so long because I took her loss personally, especially after having her beautiful story shared with me. I know how gifted you are with words and prose, and so it seemed to me that Ruby's greeting should be something that was more then just words. So from my heart, I wrote this for the both of you. I know it will not bring her back, but I know it will be something that she would love for you to have. She loves you, you know that as well as I do, and she is indeed waiting for you, just as she is happy to be reunited with all of her brothers and sisters there who will do all that is needed to keep her busy and happy unil the two of you see each other again. Much Love & Light Pie O' Pah Ruby And Ruby was her name, A not so very ordinary fuzzy all the same. But into my life she came. For all the love she shared with me For the all the joy, her love, and happy glee, She belonged with me. And Ruby was her name. She danced on air like an angel all the same. My feisty dame. She was meant to be with me forever and a day, And I will always think of her in her best and lively ways My vibrant girl who made me feel the same. But God I miss that girl, Safely in my arms she would curl, And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be Closer to her than to me. And Ruby was her name, No matter how I say it, I miss her all the same, I loved her name. Wish that I could find a way To make this sadness just simply go away, I know she's at the Bridge, and waiting for that final day. When I will be walking past her, and forever I will stay. But how I miss that girl, That soft, gentle, fuzzy, tiny little pearl And I'd go a million times around the world Just so I could say She had been mine for a day. [Posted in FML 8102]
