Elyse Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to y ou at ...breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me." You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. It's possible for me to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning." And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me. ~Author Unknown Saw that on Facebook. And yes, I cried (erm...more like bawled!) It's beautiful, but bittersweet...

Fr Carmen OFM Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thank you for this wonderful message. I needed to experience it. It makes the brokenness a bit more bearable. God! How I miss them so! Octavian clings to me like a furry skin and Hero in his endless pacing stops briefly to sniff the leg of my pants rub his head on my shin and saunter off on his journey through the first floor of the rectory. It's good to be reminded of the Truth. They really are close, no longer bound by space or time. They continue to be the wonderful gift they have always been. Auvoir mon cheree, Auvoir mon amees until we meet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
