Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Leslie -

Something was tugging at me to check in. I only wish I had a little sooner. I am so, so sorry to read of Squirt's passing. What an amazing life you shared with her and she is now at peace and pain free. You have seen so many of us through this, the hardest part of the journey. You are loved and admired for your courage as you battled with Squirt and this disease. Oh, the stories you told of her adventures and you were with her every step of the way. Those stories could give me a good laugh in my darkest hours after losing Crash. Though you shed tears of sadness and grieve the loss of your beloved Squirt, may a cherished memory shine through and give you the biggest smile and at that moment you'll feel her presence for she will always be with you.

Love, hugs, and prayers!

You are the heady perfume that scents the Spring air, the winged melody dancing on the breeze, the promise of harvest held in sprouts breaking ground.

You are the gift of life in the burgeoning Summer fields, the laughter of children at play, the lazy buzz of bees.

You are the brilliant hues of Autumn, the glitter of first frost, the glow of embers in the hearth’s fire.

You are the still breathless quiet of Winter’s first snowfall.

You are the light of the Sun by day, the Moon and Stars by night.

You are clouds bathed in pink, the growl of thunder, the gentle kiss of rain.

You are the wind teasing the treetops, the waters of life rushing to be united as one, the soil that secures foundations.

You are the hope that lies in the silence between the ticking beats of my heart.

You are Eternal.

Absolutely Beautiful

Leslie,

Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing and say I'm thinking about you.

Sending love,
Donna

We were thinking about you too. Lovely poem.

Squirt's urn arrived today. A dear friend made it for her and it is absolutely gorgeous.

It's been 5 weeks and we are doing ok. Not good, but ok. Soph still sees her from time to time and Trink still goes into the closet looking for her on occasion, and I still cry daily but we are ok.

I've been quite sick with yet another abscessed tooth and learned this last round that I have developed a resistance to the ABs because I have had so many since Jan. But the tooth out and hopefully that is the last time I have to deal with abscesses. Between grief and the tooth I just don't have much energy these days. I am spending less and less time online and trying to find other avenues for my time and energy. Nothing is the same with Squirt gone so now seems to be the time to start making other changes that are actually needed. I hope to find my creative juices and start painting again for one thing. My studies have ceased and I need to get back to them. But I am taking things one day, sometimes one minute, at a time.

Tho I'm not signed in much at all I do keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
a servant without her Queen
