Reading your prose about Nakita, because it truly is prose, brings to mind the lyrics I would sing to my Bear. He loved to be held and would put a paw on my face as I sang to him, even on that last day when he was so weak... This was our song, but I think it is appropriate for many who love the companions they've lost. It's a John Denver song, and makes me cry still.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,

like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,

like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.

You fill up my senses, come fill me again.



Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,

let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,

let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.

Come let me love you, come love me again.




May you find solace in your memories and know that you loved her best and did what was best for her. Do not doubt yourself, she would not want that.

Love and Hugs,
Jennie
