Sherman's Memorial thread

[cyber-sibes]

Last night I wooo'd a poem for Sherman. Mom translated it to people-speak, but it's really much more poignant in husky. Mom made a beautiful picture to go with it.

My poem for Sherman
by Star

Your golden fluff is everywhere,
reminding us that you’re not here.
Our humans grieve, they do not know
you linger still and did not go.
I hear your padded step go by
when, sleeping in the door, I lie.
I feel your fur against my face
as you curl up beside my place.
I feel your warmth; I smell your breath,
You’ve here in spite of what’s called “death”.

Oh Sherman, Sherman, my dear boy,
I feel your spirit full of joy,
and yet at sunset, cry for you,
and softly howl a husky woo:
a-rooooooooooo,
woo-oooooooo,
a-rooooooooooo,
woo-oooo, woo-ooooo, woooooo

That is a beautiful poem. What a lovely tribute to a remarkable animal.

That's unbelievable, Star. How sweet it is, Pat. I can't stop crying

[Cinder & Smoke]

Dance in the Light, Sherman, Dance in the Light,
Dance with the Angels, Dance all Day and all Night ...
Dance in the Light.

Fly High, Dear Sherman ...
May the Fair Winds of God's Breath Fill Your Angel Wings.

Visit your Earthly Home each night, Dear Sherman;
Dry the Tears of Hu-Mom and Hu-Dad with the soft
flutter of your Angel Wings ...

Then visit you grieving Sister Star ~
Brush away her demons with your Wings,
that she might sleep the night ...

Now return to your Eternal Rest,
North of the Rainbow Bridge, your job well done.


Pat, JoJoe, and Star ...
Here's a HeartFelt {{{HUG}}} for each of you.

With Love,
/s/ Phred

Oh Star, such a sweet, heartfelt poem. I know you miss your buddy. You made me cry again. A beautiful poem, indeed. Sadly, some of our best poems are written from sadness.

Oh Phred, that is just beautiful! (More LES) You know, reading this, I can easily picture Sherman with angel wings, they suit him well.
Yes, Sherman, my angel boy, please brush us all with your angel wings, and comfort your dear sweet Star, who misses you so.

I honestly had no idea Sherman was even sick. I just went and found the thread and I just can't believe I've missed it this whole time. I need to go back and read the thread to see what happened. I am so, so sorry for your loss. RIP Sherman.

same here, tear teary. I saw this few nights ago with another pet talker, could not know what to say but can't say nothing - loss at words still, I missed so much. one of disadvantages being on roadtrip I guess.

(((((may you all lay in my thoughts!)))))

Sweet Star, your poem did me in. Bless you, darling.

Pat, today the dangest thing happened and i had to share it with you.

S.O. and i were in Saginaw and headed home (Saginaw is about a 1/2 hour drive for us.) Somehow S.O. missed the road he was supposed to turn on. Which is really odd as it's almost routine now. We ended up down some back road, not really lost but we had barely a relative clue as to where we were at. The road was lined with lots of mature trees and plenty of water in sight. When we finally came upon a road sign we found out we were on Sherman Rd. We decided to continue being "lost" on our way home (problem was is that we eventually surrounded by "Dead End" 's and had to backtrack. ...and we took the highway back home (instead of the usual way or Sherman Rd which ran along side it a bit.)

(No, I'm not making that up... but I only planned on typing out the part about being on Sheman Rd. As i typed out the rest of the story though i found it to be a morbid similarity to reality.)

But yeah... I thought it was neat that by chance S.O. missed the usual road and we later ended up on Sherman Rd.

Oh Star, that was BEAUTIFUL!!! (BIG time LES)

Please forgive me for just seeing this, I've been on vacation and not home much because of out of town family have been in.

Prayers for Star.

Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? I have been thinking about all of you all week and just now had a chance to come on pt and see what has been going on. I hope the prayers and hugs from us all are comforting you some, still praying and hoping you and your family still feel the love and comfort from us, I know this is a really rough time right now.
