Gini

[slick]

A funny thing happened on the way to New Westminster. My plane landed right on time, I took the shuttle to where I parked my car, started it up and waited for the gate to open. My heart sang for there in front on me was the most brilliant rainbow and it was the whole arc, not just half of it and it gleamed across the blue sky to guide me home. I thought.....there's the sign from Gini. She's made it safely to the Bridge wants me to know that she's OK. It was very comforting and given that Richard said to watch out for something "gini" well, I'll take this one. I did get a picture of the start of it - couldn't get the whole rainbow because there was no where to pull over in traffic. I'll offload it from my camera tonight.

What a beautiful tribute to our beautiful friend.
Slick what a gift! I'm so glad you got your "sign" keep a lookout - now rainbows may show up in all the strangest places!!
Thank you Kelly for the pics - for those of us that couldn't be there - it helps.
My heart is still heavy in missing my friend but knowing she is ALWAYS with us now, helps. Now, like with my grandma and Phred, I can talk to her anytime, anywhere and I know she'll hear me.

This was on a throw from my Grandma Musselman's funeral and its become a favorite of mine when someone (or my pets Kylie, Keegan, Shaianne) close to me died.


"If Tears Could Build A Stairway"

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

I haven't been on pt in a long while and randomly logged on tonight. I cannot believe what I am reading. I had no idea Gini was sick for so long, and am deeply saddened to hear this news. To God we belong and to Him we return. I remember enjoying reading Gini's posts when I used to frequent this site. She was a lovely, kind hearted person.

Slick, thank you for the rainbow It brought again tears to my eyes.

The rainbow. Please excuse my wiper blade. Had to take it quickly as there were cars behind me waiting to exit the parking lot.




I took this pictures several times and each time it came out the same with that heavenly glow behind her head. Reflection from the window? Maybe but I chose to think differently.

I love we can see a second faint rainbow! Was it more noticeable in real life?

I don't come by too often, so I am just now seeing this. My heart hurts to know dear Gini has passed on. It's really hard to come up with any words. I will never forget her help when I went through Raven's cancer, and all her sweet and positive posts. I wish I had more adequate words, I just don't

Rascal was a huge, sturdy cat.

He loved to be touched and he had a funny habit of drooling all over if you just sat their and scritched him.

He ended up in my lap one and I absent-mindedly began to scratch him as he sat there.

---------

A few minutes later I felt a warm spot on my thigh and, to my surprise, saw that he drooled a puddle on my jeans.

I laughed and pointed this out to Gini.

She jumped up out of the chair she was in, picked up Rascal and began to apologize profusely about the mess.

I laughed - it was only cat spit, but she acted like the cat had crapped on me.



It was then that I knew she was a devoted animal lover. She treated the incident as if it was her own child that had brought shame upon the "House of Orange".


To this day, whenever I play with an animal that just so happens to salivate on me, I laugh and think of Rascal and Gini........
