Jason's home!

It's nice to have him here again, isn't it? I think he's ok with you being gone but with Jason, one never knows. Could you visit him? I think he would like that. Let him know about the bridge and how happy and young again you are.

I've copied over something that was posted on the forum:

Words from the Departed (Saint Augustine)

"Death is nothing,
It is as if I were in the room nearby.
It is me, it is you,
What we were for each other will remain.

Call me as you were used to,
Talk to me as you always did,
Do not use a different tone,
Do not be sad or solemn,

Keep laughing at all the things that made us laugh.
Pray, smile, think of me, pray with me,
I want my name to be said at home,
As it always was,
Without emphasis, without traces of a shadow.

Life means all it ever meant,
It is what it always was : the bound is not broken.
Why would you not think of me?
Just because you cannot see me?

I am not far away,
I am at the other side of the path …
See, everything falls into its place …

Do not cry if you love me,
If you only knew the gift of God and what Heaven is!
If you only could hear from here the singing of the Angels,
And see me among them!

If you only could see the eternal horizons and hear the eternal songs,
The new paths I am walking on!
If you only could, just for a moment, contemplate the true Beauty,
At whose side others seem to fade!

What? You did see me, loved me in the kingdom of shadows,
And you think that you could never see me again, love me again,
In the Kingdom of Reality?
Believe me, when death comes to break what ties you to,

As it did before with me, and when, the day only God knows about,
Your soul will reunite with mine in Heaven,
This day, you will feel again all that tenderness that died.
Dry your tears and do not cry if you love me,
Because I am at the other side of the mirror”.

Jason's coming home!

Well, Jason will be home soon. He's on a 2 1/2 week break from Job Corps. He just called and he's in Modesto. The boy called me at 6:45 this morning to let me know he was at the LA airport!!! Can you imagine???? Waking me up for that????? LOL

I still haven't told him about you passing over the bridge. I didn't think he could handle it with the school work and all the other stuff he had to deal with (he loves you so much) but now he will find out. He'll come in thinking you are here and he'll find Max. I know Max will worm his way into his heart and Jason will love him as he loves you. If there's any problems, I will send him to the forum for support.

And he has a girl friend! Sounds like this one might be the one (or maybe he's just grown up?) ... he has grown up.

Will keep you posted.

I've attached something that Sol just posted this morning.

We love you!!!!! Still crying also.

Mom & Dad

With love, Sol from Spain

Sad lately

Not sure why I've been so sad these past few days. Maybe it's due to the fact that on the 8th it was 3 months since you left us. Or maybe it's because Sharisse and I had a "falling out"? I know I'm always sad over that but we talked on Sat., the 7th for a bit when I told her I had the money she needed for rent. She tried to pull that "oh that's ok ... you don't have to ... I know you probably need it for something". What the heck? She's the one who needed it so desparately ... oh well. Haven't talked to her since ... hope she's ok. Or maybe it's just a combination of things? Haven't figured out the specifics and I probably won't ever know exactly why. But the reasons aren't that important I guess. Just rambling. Shasta's mom is still having a hard time. I've been trying to help but I'm not a professional.

But Jason's coming home the end of this month! And I'm really looking forward to it. I spent more at the store than I wanted but he's asked for "special" foods; i.e., peanut butter cookies, spaghetti, and deviled eggs. Says no one can beat Mom's cooking! LOL

Well, I'll let you go ... I know you're busy playing with the other furbabies and probably getting ready to sleep as I know you've had a busy, funfilled day.

Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!

On your 3 month marker

Tasha, this one's for you my sweet baby. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and you will remain in our hearts and memories forever ... you are truly irreplaceable!

They're a very special gift to be cherished and loved
You're chosen for each other by God Himself above
It's a match made in heaven so it can't be wrong
You're tied together by a bond that's oh so strong

All they'll ever ask from you is to be loved and fed
And at night make sure they have, fresh water, and a bed
In return for so little the rewards are so great
You'll get a companion for life with some very special traits

When you are lost and the end seems so far away
They'll walk by your side they'll help you find your way
When life gets you down they can put a smile on your face
As they run you in circles with their fast pace

You'll share the good with the bad; you'll be happy and sad
And through it all you have a friend; the best you ever had
You're time together will be special and unique
It will be as priceless to you as a rare antique

Then before you know it the day will arrive
When suddenly your lifetakes a steep dive
The furry friend who's been with you for all of these years
Has now passed on and left you in tears

As you sit and wonder "what did I do?"
Why is this all happening to you?
Into each of our lives a little rain must fall
And you must be strong to answer the call

Your little one's spirit has flown home on the wings of a dove
To a special place that awaits them in heaven above
St. Francis will meet them when they get home
He will take them to a meadow where they're free to roam

There in the meadows down by the pond
Your furry friend will remember his loving bond
He'll look into the water, then you apppear
He can see you're frightened; he can feel your fear

Through the bond that still ties you from heaven above
He looks down upon you; he sends you his love
Because you loved him and because you care
Whenever you need him he'll always be there

There in the meadows they patiently wait for the day
When you will celebrate your life together; each and everyday
Waiting for that day when you come walking back home
When together for an eternity through the meadows you'll roam.
