Two weeks after my baby boy Goliath, a chihuahua, passed away I wrote my first letter to him. I pray for all of you that are grieving and trying to find an avenue toward healing and peace of mind as I am trying to do myself.

The angels sang
January twenty fifth nineteen hundred and ninety seven
When God's own hand
Sent you to me straight from heaven


Thank you Goliath
For all you gave to me
Your unselfish love
And your company


You filled my days
With complete happiness and joy
Yes Goliath
You were always such a special good boy


We were joined by our hearts
From the day we met
You were so much more to me
Than just my pet


You left this earth
November sixth two thousand and seven
And went to live with our Lord and Savior
In heaven


Though you came to me
By God's own hand
He took you home to live
With Him again


You were only sent
For me to borrow
And your absence leaves me
With such great sorrow


And even though
We are apart
You will forever
Remain in my heart


One thing I know
With certainty
Is that we'll reunite
In eternity


But until then
You'll remain in my heart
My forever
Best friend

Sleep well
My precious angel
I will love you til
The day after forever

Hi all.........I have posted 2 more pics of Goliath & Gidget. Also, I wanted to let you know that I will be posting my tribute to Goliath this coming Friday, January 25th which I will post in honor of his 11th birthday.

Thanks to all for support, your love, and friendship. I don't know how I ever could have coped with Goliath's death alone.

As I see the grief sickened new comers here who are in soooooo much need of comfort, I thought that maybe my letter of comfort might help them just a little bit. So, as I think of my precious Goliath and just how much I love him and miss him, I brought his letter of comfort for you, by making it easier for you to spot it.

My prayer is that each and every one of you that is hurting on this day receive the blessed comfort of our Lord Jesus. May He unburden your heavy hearts and bless you and keep you in His name.

Hi Everybody! I just wanted to let you know that I will gone for a couple of weeks. For those of you who I talk to and share with, I did not want you to worry about me or to think I abandoned you.

All of you mean the world to me and I can't thank you enough for helping me so very much over the last 4 1/2 weeks. wink.gif

Much love and comfort to all of you and I will keep all of you in my prayers each and every night.

Thanks Steph.............I am back and had a great time. Something very unusual happened while I was there.

One day I went out shopping. I was drawn to a store window that had all kinds of very cute pajamas and other unusual items in the window. So I picked out several items, including 2 pairs of pajamas. The sayings on these items made me laugh and biggrin.gif so much.

As I looked closer at the pajamas, I noticed that Goliath's name was written all over them. When I asked what the name of the store was, they said DAVID & GOLIATH!

Now I can go to bed with Goliath all over my jammies. I feel so warm and cozy in them.

Hugs to you and all others wub.gif
P.S. Thanks Goliath for sending me the smiles that only you can bring.

Hey Beth,
Welcome back! That is an adorable story and definitely something I would do. If I told you how many pairs of Border Collie pj's and socks I own just because I feel like I can curl up with Duffy, you would think I was nuts. Very cute story. I'm sure your little one was at work there.
Many hugs and sweet dreams,
Stephanie

Dear Stephanie and Dayna...............Thank you both for your warm greetings in welcoming me back.

LOL Stephanie.....I don't think you are crazy at all for wearing doggie jammies and socks. It always feels sooooooooooooo good when I find something else that provides me with more comfort and peace, so I understand why this makes you feel so good as well.

Especially today sad.gif where I have found myself feeling a lot more sadness. It was 4 months ago today that Goliath left my loving arms and passed into eternity to rest in God's all loving hands.

As I remember Goliath today...........I am all snuggled up in my new jammies and thinking of how much I love and miss him.

Much love and hugs to you both for thinking of me.

Thanks for stopping by Judy.

Gidget slept with me last night nuzzled close to my side. I had on a pair of my jammies with Goliath's name all over them. Yes, all of their products have Goliath written on them and both pairs I bought have his name on them more than 50 times.

As I missed him terribly yesterday, especially after the recent uprise of emotion in this forum, I had a very difficult time sleeping. For the first time in a long time I found myself crying alot and spent most of the night praying for peace and harmony in this forum.

Take care Judy..........Hugs

My jammies and Gidget have been a great source of comfort for me over the last few days.

My emotions had not been running so deep up until the "hiccup" occurred which dredged up very deep and agonizing pain for me again over the passing of my Goliath. I expect very little from anybody but do always hope and pray for others.

Interestingly enough when I was so upset the other night, my angel fell off the wall and onto the ceramic floor where it shattered into far too many pieces to even count.

As I come back to visit I will continue to look for all that gives me comfort. I realize it is not a perfect world here just like it is not a perfect world outside of here. No matter where I am there will always be ups and downs of which I have to cope with and work out. Right now, I don't feel so good here.

I will see you and all the others soon Judy..........Take care

Hugs.......Beth
