August 25th will make 10yrs since my Tom-kitty passed. The hurt never completely goes away, but it does lessen. Though I've had other pets, none of them (with the exception of Sophie) have connected with me in the way that Tom did. I have a gentle ghost of a gentle soul purring and roaming the perimeters of my heart...and I wouldn't have it any other way.


Memories hurt
And help --
But heal
And warm.

And in the Lord's time,
You'll find a wiggling tail.
A wet nose.
A needy pup.

And Buddy will look down from the Bridge, smiling.
He knows first paw... that this lil' pup has "the bestest" home on earth.



Many prayers your way,
Tonya
