Its Been 2 Weeks Today

[COLOR=blue]
It's really true-he's really gone. It's been 2 weeks today. The first few days I tried to block it out, then I posted him a poem. That's when it really hit me. I thought by getting my feelings out it would help. And it has some as far as the guilt of having to put him to sleep. But the pain is still here and I know it will be for a while. I have cried every day for him, and the special thing is GOD has too. There hasn't been one day that has went by in the last two weeks that it hasn't rained.(I live in SE TX) And it has been a comfort in kind of a strange way. I feel like the LORD knows my grief and is letting me know I'm not alone. I have read many of these stories and cried for these precious people that have written them. All I can do is pray that the LORD will mend your broken hearts and bring peace to them. It is such a blessing to know that I'm not alone in this crazy world and I'm so thankful that there are others that love and cherish their pets with the deepness that I do. GOD Bless each and every one of you for doing so.

This Is For You Harley(from Momma)

This is for you Harley
I didn't know it was you God had put on my heart
that horrible news that we had to part
The fourteenth of June that he stuck in my head
I cried myself to sleep while you slept in our bed
Because I knew what was in store for tomorrow
Praying for strength to deal with the sorrow
It happened so fast that we weren't prepared
Thinking if I'd prayed harder you might have been spared
The guilt and the pain that I'm feeling inside
is because it hurt too much to stay by your side
even though you know how hard I tried
and you waited until I went outside
all I keep asking is why?why?why?
Why couldn't I stay?
Why didn't we know?
Why my Big Man do you have to go?
I knew it would happen one of these days
but there were still a few years that you should have had to play
I know it was in our Father's plan
even though I still can't understand
the pain you went through without even a sign
until we noticed you were going blind
I did some research but by then it was too late
I knew what had to be done to spare you from this terrible fate
Now all I can do is pray for that pain
to go away before I go insane
And every day all it can do is get better
that is why I'm here writing you this little love letter
So you will know that we will never be apart
you will always have a very special place in our hearts
We promise we will never forget your sweet sounding howl
or how much you loved to go out at night on the prowl
Chase the cats and cars and save a few stories
for your momma and daddy when we meet again in His glory.

I love you my Big Man more than you could have ever known before but that's what
has gotten me through these last few days is knowing that you do now.
We love you with all of our hearts, Your Momma and Daddy
