Lightning-Strike Pet Loss Support Forum _ Death and Dying Pet Support _ Goliath Aloysius 1/25/1997 Til 11/6/2007

Posted by: goliath Nov 5 2008, 08:05 PM

A year ago at this time all felt good and right in my life. Little did I know that in less than 8 hours my world would come to an abrupt end as I knew it and Goliath's would ascend to another. Sometimes it seems so long ago, while other times it seems like yesterday. I yearn for his sweet kisses, cuddles, and playful little self.

Without Goliath's never dying love, I never would have understood the full meaning of what love and living is all about. He made me want to be a better me. Goliath's aura shines around me each and every day. His sweet memories of the life we lived together are embedded in my soul. His fire and zest for life roar in my spirit and comfort my heart.

Just as I promised Goliath, I have nourished his loving spirit and kept him alive in me and all around me. Though I have been blessed many times over in my life, Goliath was the greatest blessing of all. He taught me more about compassion of the heart, wisdom of the mind, and how to live in peace and harmony. For the rest of my days in this world, I will give thanks to Goliath for enriching my life so much. Though I will always cherish the past and dream of tomorrow, today is what I live for. I've learned to not sweat the small stuff and let go of worries. Today I will dance in love and laughter and squeeze the best out of life because tomorrow may not come.

As I contemplate the time of 3:31 a.m. and remember it was the exact time Goliath's body and soul separated, I will close my eyes and give thanks for having had the privilege of sharing Goliath's life with him.


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

Thank you Dottie for sending such comfort to me on this very special day. I did listen to "YOU RAISE ME UP" several times today. Each time I hear Josh sing it, tears come to my eyes because he sings with such deep expression and inspiration.

I went to a park today near our old house where we often walked with Goliath & Gidget. With me I took a bag lunch and sat on a swing while I ate it. I thought of Goliath the entire time and how much I love and miss him. The more I thought of him the higher my swing soared toward the sky. It's a beautiful 70 degrees today with lots of sunshine.

Before long it was time to return to work, so I let myself slow down on the swing, got off, and discarded my now empty bag in the trash. As I began walking toward my car I began talking with Goliath and how much I hoped he would visit me today.

I reached my car, put my seatbelt on and looked up. There painted on a wood sign and posted on the telephone pole was a message. It said, "If you died right now, where would you go?" I immediately felt at peace because I realized that I have no fear of death or dying because I know where I will go.

Yes Dottie, I do know that Goliath's heart and mine are one. Nothing can ever separate the profound and lasting love we have for each other.......not now and not ever. One day we will meet up once again and live in eternal bliss in a perfect world where time doesn't exist. wub.gif

Thank you again for coming by and sharing your thoughts. No doubt I will listen to the video you sent many more times yet today. You picked the perfect song to lift my spirits this morning.

Love and hugs,
Beth

Beth,

I know how terribly difficult these little anniversaries are. Alley's 2nd one is coming up soon and I'm already feeling so sad. Thank you for sharing your poem and your memories of your dear Goliath.

Just know that we are all here for you.


Paula

Posted by: goliath Nov 6 2008, 06:48 PM

I'm tongue tied Dottie. You have to be the most thoughtful person I have ever come to know. biggrin.gif Each and every one of the songs you posted for me brought me tears of joy in remembrance. Today I celebrated Goliath's life in memories and thanked God there was some courage left in me to go on after Goliath passed away. A year ago, I didn't think there was any life left in me at all because my heart was shattered in so many pieces. Little by little I did pick up the pieces of my heart and now I feel whole again...........even though I miss Goliath each and every day.

The month of November brought the first wounds to my heart when my Dad died on November 26th many years ago. My Mom also passed away on November 4th with my Grandfather following her only two weeks later. November represents reflection of all four of these wonderful souls I love so very much.

Bless you Dottie for all the comfort you have brought to me through your genuine kindness.

Love and hugs,
Beth

Thank you for your kind words Paula. Though I did feel a quiet sadness throughout my day, it wasn't with the deep anguish and pain I felt a year ago. I am so thankful for that.

As you approach Alley's 2nd Angelversary I send you hugs of comfort and love. How blessed we were to have had the love of our furry kids bring so much joy into our lives. wub.gif

Take care and God bless,
Beth

what a wonderful tribute and picture of goliath beth! i hope you have it framed in your living room, so that you can look at it all the time, especially during the holidays, and continue to be so thankful and diligent in keeping him alive in your heart.

you have said several things that i know all too well, the forever ago/yesterday feeling, the burning knowledge that nothing could ever pry him from your heart and the overwhelming thankfulness that he was given to you all are things i feel every day. when you think about the statistical odds, you can't help but be grateful and humble for being chosen. wub.gif

Sarah.............You have me pegged. How could I ever possibly have been chosen to be Goliath's Momma for now and forever? Not only am I humbled for being chosen for having been selected to have such a beautiful and loving soul in my life such as Goliath, I wonder why those who haven't experienced the love of an animal don't. Because I feel this love so deeply, it saddens me to know that others will never have the joy nor the ability to express this kind of love to the rest of the world. I have been one of the fortunates, not worthy, but chosen to try and make a difference by sending the word called love.

Thank you soooooooooo much for coming by on Goliath's First Year Angelversay. I love knowing he is surrounded by the people who know the true blessings of birth, living, and death. wub.gif

Hugs to you Sarah,
Beth

Hi Beth, I like what Dottie said, you carry his heart in your heart. It truely shows. Such a beautiful tribute to Goliath, a truely special Angel, he gave you so much more than licks on your face..Thanks for sharing...Ann

Hugs to you Beth and your beautiful Goliath, both of you are angels to me. How hard it must be now, but then, even still, how hard it has been all year as well, and how despite this all and through it all you have been a spring of compassion and love for so many of us here, Goliath has made it so that we could all be soothed by you Beth and has confirmed that you are the best. Thank you and courage, you will have many many reasons to rejoice when your work is done, meanwhile know how grateful some of us are for you and for Goliath's ongoing love.

I hope your sweet Goliath had a WONDERFUL one year bridge day. What a beautiful post.... and so true how our babies made us better people.

Anniversary's are hard, and your post was so filled with love..... I think we never get over things like this, we just learn to live with them. We are better for having known them.

The fact that, despite your own pain you can find it in your heart to share this grief tells me a lot about your beautiful soul, kindred spirits know who has been hurt and easily find the words that heal. May your life be blessed by Nemo's spirit and may it be a wonderful one, you deserve it so much.

Thanks Ann for coming by and sharing your thoughts with me. Goliath truly is an angel who will forever remain in my heart. Arthur is your special angel too and you show just how special each time you send comfort to another here at LS.

May your sweet Arthur bring you comfort and joy always.

Thank you Nemo's Mommy. You're right when you say "we never get over things like this." Somehow we find a way to rise above the pain of losing them and find our back to a happy way of living. It's a long journey for sure. There will always be a subtle kind of sadness with me because I do miss him not being here so very much. Knowing I will see him again one day keeps my heart peaceful.

Hugs,
Beth

Beth,

What an amazing post. It's interesting because I was just telling Penny last night that she must be resting on my heart because I hadn't cried in 2 days, and was feeling a serene sense of calm. When I read your post about Goliath, it...well...made me cry, but because it said everything I've been feeling, and for a moment, even though I don't know you or Goliath, I felt his spirit as well --

Your poem was such an amazing tribute to him, and I'm so glad I read it because it was everything I needed and more smile.gif

Thank you for reminding us all that there is a certain humbleness and almost a beauty about the circle of life, and I love the notion that rather than looking at the death, let's thank the Lord for the amazing chance we had to even be with them. I also find a great sense of comfort in your poem...that Goliath came from God and was only borrowed. My husband has been saying that to me in a way -- that perhaps our pets are meant for something so much greater. I myself...even though it's still in the early stages, feel a renewed sense of life...of purpose...and of gratitude for what I have, and what Penny has given me. Even though I've known it intellectually, I'm now beginning to really embrace and live what she is teaching me.

Thanks again...and my thoughts and prayers are with you through November --

Peace,
~Shannon

Beth,

I know just how hard anniversaries can be, each month on the 16th I remember my little Fleetwood and wish so desperately that he was still with us. Ever more difficult is we leave tomorrow for vacation to Mexico and this will be the first time we have gone anywhere since that trip to San Francisco in February when Fleetwood died while we were gone. I am terrified! I am so afraid of leaving Corina and I even thought about not going, but I can’t let my fear consume me. I have made arraignments for someone to stay at our house and take care of Corina while we are gone (she is a vet tech) but I still am so afraid of receiving another phone call like the one I got when Fleetwood died.

Your wonderful words to Goliath only shows that the love between the two of you is still alive and thriving in your hearts which only goes to show that he is still with you by your side. I’m glad you spent your lunch “with him” in the park. We have been luck, Fleetwood has come and visited us a couple of times and each time I know he’s there because Corina starts running around the house like she did when he would chase her. It’s so wonderful when the come and check on us!

Take care, Beth and you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Mark,
Missing Fleetwood

Thank you Shannon, Warren, and Mark for your heartfelt responses. It means alot to me that there are those who truly care so much at LS.

Nothing in this world could ever take away the love I have for my Goliath. smile.gif His spirit will remain with me now and forever. A year ago I didn't feel this way. I thought my life was over and all I had left was despair and emptiness. Though I still miss and think of him each and every day many times, my heart is at peace because I know our separation is only temporary. One day he and I will reunite once again in a place where we will never be apart again. Until that day comes, I have Gidget & Browser who fill our home with their own kind of unique antics and joy. What special little loves they are who deserve to have the best in life that I can possibly give them. Big brother Goliath wouldn't have it any other way. wub.gif

Hugs of love to each of you,
Beth

Posted by: goliath Nov 6 2009, 09:45 PM

When I awoke this morning, my first thought was about Goliath. This in of itself isn't unusual because since he left my loving arms on the wings of an angel two years ago today, he's always my first thought in the morning. At night is when I still miss him the very most and I always thank God in my nightly prayers for having had the privilege of sharing his life with me. Oh how lucky I was to have been blessed with such a loving character as he. His image is still so very etched in my mind..............so crystal clear and I pray that he will always be my first thought in the morning and my last thought before I fall asleep for the night with his image and antics so clear in my mind and my heart. wub.gif

Today Goliath's sister, Gidget & baby brother Browser, and myself spent a wonderful day together. This was a beautiful Autumn day filled with sunshine. Two years ago the skies were gray and the wind howled making the air very cold.......very much how I felt myself at the time. The grays are gone and my heart is bright because I always feel the sunshine of Goliath's warm love with me and all around me.

Soon I will retire for the night. Before I go to bed though, I have a red rosebud that I will drop into his little urn and will tell him once again just how much he is loved and missed.

Be well my little angel....................I will love you til the day after forever. wub.gif

{*{*{*{*{*Beth*}*}*}*}*} That was so very beautiful. Fur kid Angels like your Goliath are such a rare find which makes him even that much more of a treasure to you and all those whose hearts he's touched. This song and video is one that I also gifted to Alex, but feels extremely appropriate for you and Goliath especially given the manner in which you ended your post. Your palpably heartfelt sweet, tender and loving good night to your immortal beloved fur child. Perhaps I'm way out in left field, I don't know, but I believe I saw, heard and felt your tears. Yes, I realize that eventually time heals, however these Angelversaries can be and many times are indescribably unbearable, painful and lonely. We reach out to those like minded people who understand that these are not, not, not just dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets, hamsters. These are our family just the same as our very own flesh and blood. They are our fur and feather children.

Sweet Beth, you paid a very lovely and loving tribute to sweet Goliath in your post and your actions. I know with all my being that your heart and soul are with Goliath right now. I wish, hope and pray that you sleep soundly tonight knowing that your fur baby is only just a breath away and really has never left your side even for a moment. If I possessed mystical, magical, marvelous fairy dust, I'd sprinkle it upon you and Goliath as you snuggle together and dream of fond, lovely, cute, humorous and loving memories. Oh Beth, indeed we are blessed to have had them for the time we did. It's sort of like a not so very funny cosmic joke that we're all destined to outlive our most beloved, cherished fur kids by decades. And ya know what? I'll bet my bottom dollar that Goliath "gets the joke" from where he sits at the vantage point in that great Catbird Seat.

He's watching over you, Beth. I pray that he appears to you tonight, smiles, takes you by your hand and you both go walking in the air together. Ahhh. May you be engulfed in Peace and in the knowledge that you and your sweet baby will indeed be reunited on that One Sweet Day. Until then, and for tonight, may you and your precious fur kid Angel Goliath go out together, hand in hand, up to the stars and walking in the air. Many Comforting Hugs!!!







"Walking in the Air"

We're Walking in the Air ... Floating in the Sky ...
Floating in the Air ...

We're walking in the Air
We're floating in the moonlit Sky
The people far below are sleeping as we Fly

We're holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can Fly so high above with you!

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes!

We're surfing in the Air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep!

We're walking in the Air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we Fly!




Goliath, your Mommy Beth is blowing many Kisses to you and Loves you So Very Much!!!

Posted by: Bue's Mommy Nov 13 2009, 01:04 AM

Hugs Beth, I'm so sorry I missed your angelversary. I haven't been here for a while. How are you doing? I know what you mean when you say he taught you compassion/love. I remember the pics of Goliath when you first came here. I remember telling you I baby sat for a Chihuahua, who almost got scooped up by a red tail hawk while I was letting her do her buisness outside. You were so kind to me, and so many others on this site. I'm glad you find comfort in coming back to share this with us.

Take Care Beth

Hi Beth,

I too missed Goliath's angelversary unsure.gif ...so sorry. For some reason I had it in my head that it was the 16th.

I don't come here much anymore. I didn't even post for Sadie, Oct 20 th. Yet I know, that you know, that Sadie is in my heart at all times. So too are you and Goliath, always in my heart, which is changed, for the better by the two of you...forever.

Love to B and G

Thanks Dottie for your lovely reply. Yes, Goliath will always be with me now and forever. There's no doubt in my mind about that. Though I do miss him every day, I'm so thankful that I miss him in a good kind of way. Had it not been for his physical death, my life would never have gone in the many directions it has. Through his death I found purpose in life and spend my time trying to make a difference for the good of all. I know now just how quickly someone you love can be gone in the snap of a finger, so I spend lots of time with family, friends, and my other furry kids. I realize today what really matters in life and love what I'm doing with mine. biggrin.gif

Hugs, Beth

Hiya Bue's Mommy,

I'm so glad you came by and acknowledged Goliath's second angelversary. It's always good to hear from you girl.

Yes! Goliath changed my life forever when he came into my heart and home that's for sure. But I think his death put my life in a real perspective. That sweet love of his will always be with me and in me and I thank God every single day for choosing me for him to live his life with. Truly I was blessed in an everlasting way. wub.gif

Hugs to you girl. Please stay in touch.

Hi Dayna,

No apologies please. You know I love you girl. I rarely come to LS anymore myself. There was a time I needed to be here 24/7 for the most part and I'm happy to say that I found a way to work through those dark days. You've always been there for me Dayna and because of you I also feel blessed. What good loving friends we've made here through what started as a tragic time in our lives.

I'm leaving for Texas in the morning to spend the holiday week with my sister and her family. One of the many things that has stayed with me since Goliath's death is that spending quality time with those I love as much as possible is very important to me. I've also cut my hours at work now so that my time is better spent on what really matters. Life is good, full, and more than satisfying. Our Lord has been very generous in blessing me with a wonderful husband, furry kids, and fantastic friends.

I hope you were blessed with smiles and happy tears when Sadie's angelversay came around. Such sweet sorrow huh? We'll always miss them that's for sure. When such a loved furry makes such a huge impact on our own lives and enrich our spirits permanently, they always stay in our minds and hearts. I'm very grateful for having known such a love in my life and I know that you also have been blessed with so many to love.

Much love to you, Charles, Birga & Amos. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Huggers,
Beth

Hiya Hal,

Thanks so much for coming by to express your hearfelt thoughts. Goliath truly was a character and it makes me happy to know that he leaves you with thoughts about him when you look at Chili. He made a memorable impact on people who knew him when he was alive and also on many who only met him through his death here at LS. wub.gif

Through our grief together we found hope, inspiration, and another way back to happiness again and I will forever be grateful for you and others who helped me along this long journey of healing. smile.gif

I hope your little hooligans are getting along well with you and Chuck. They truly are healing helpers from Heaven aren't they? rolleyes.gif

As the sun begins rising this morning, I realize I've been awake for several hours. As always, my first thought of the day is of my sweet Goliath and just how much love he brought into my world. That special kind of love that never leaves a heart is still in mine. His memory has not faded in any way as I picture his face so permanenetly and clearly etched in my mind. Though I feel a bit saddened on this day, I allow myself to remember his little self in only the fondest of ways. As I write this, I hear the pitter patter of Browser and Bugsy's feet on the upstairs floors. Soon, my husband will carry Gidget down the stairs and Goliath's brothers will race each other to see who can cover me with wet little kisses first. laugh.gif

On this 3rd Angelversary of Goliath's, there is a feeling of something missing. But there is also a deep gratitude that I shall always have the happy memories he left for me that I will always hold the very closest to my heart. Our special loving bond has remained unbroken. Nothing will ever break that connection we have with each other now or ever. Until that grand day that we are reunited, he will be my first thought in the morning and my last thought before going to sleep. Browser and Bugsy cuddle close with us each night as we sleep, and once again this morning I awakened to their soft little snores. As I listened to them, I thought life is good and assimilated the moment, feeling the comfort, love and joy they bring into my heart and home.

Thank you Lord for blessing me abundantly with so much love in my life. As I give thanks for those blessings today, I remember Goliath as my greatest blessing. wub.gif

Hugs of peace, joy, love, and comfort to all.

One day you and I will be together again. The thought of that day brings me so much joy. As I write this, Browser and Bugsy are laying on my lap and your sister, Gidget, is on the couch. As time goes on, know that my love for you and the time we had together are what I hold closest to my heart. Our bond was made never to be broken. Stay well my precious angel....................I will love you til the day after forever! wub.gif

My sweet sweet Goliath.............Five years ago today you left my arms on the wings of an angel. Not one day has gone by where I haven't thought of you many times over. You were the best thing that ever happened to me in my life and I am so grateful that I carry the times we shared in my memory and heart. Because of you I am a better me and I long for the day where you and I will reunite never to be separated again.

Gidget, Browser, and Bugsy are absolutely wonderful and make for many laughs and enjoyable as well as memorable days for Daddy and me. But your pitter patter of feet and happy noises are sorely missed and I believe will always be missed no matter what else is going on.

Your love has never left me and I hope my love remains with you too Goliath as our bond is so strong yet to this day and forever shall be as we have the kind of bond sealed with such a strong love that can never be broken. wub.gif

Untill that day we can be together again in Heaven where there are no tears I will continue to think about you each and every day. Thank you soooooo much for the beautiful memories we made together. Those belong to you and me and can never be taken away.

I will love you til the day after forever baby boy! wub.gif

Dear Goliath,
It's been six years ago now that you left this world on the wings of an angel. My love for you remains embedded in my heart and your sweet face and antics in my mind. One day we will meet again when God calls me home where we'll be together for all eternity. Though life for me moves on, I have not missed one day thinking about you and all the wonderful years we shared together. Those memories we made together will never be forgotten as they were the best years of my life. Though this was the day you passed away in my arms so unexpectedly I am missing you even more. I love you Goliath and I always will!

WOW!! It doesn't seem like it's been seven years since Goliath left this Earth..........Gidget is now with him too. Not one day passes that I don't think of him many times over. But it's easier to allow
myself to enjoy the memories we made together. Goliath & Gidget will remain
in my heart forever. Happy 7th Angelversary my sweet Goliath!! I will love you til the day after forever wub.gif

Yes they were 2 very huge spirits!! I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner Gretta's Mom to see your post. It's been quite an adjustment getting used to not having Gidget around in the house. November is the month of the year that I find saddest. With Goliath's Angelversary following Gidget's death less than a month after, I've caught some really tearful moments. I'll always be grateful that I was so privileged to spend their lives with me. Knowing in my heart that one day I'll be with them again brings me so much comfort. wub.gif

Gosh I miss you Goliath!! It's been 9 years today and I came across some of your hair. I pulled out a sewing project that wasn't finished. Remember how you used to swipe my embroidery floss? In those days you would sit in my lap as I worked on a sewing project. Since you left on that fateful night, I hadn't touched those projects. Today I did and I was so happy to touch your hair. I love you Goliath and I always will. ❤️ Your sweet face is still crystal clear in my mind and I often find myself talking to you. Especially when your brothers are rough housing, I imagine how much fun you would've had with them. I'll bet Gidget still keeps you on your toes too. Does she still sneak up on you and nip your butt? Mama misses both of you so much and I know in my heart someday we'll be together again forever. In the meantime, Browser & Bugsy are my little charges now. They fill my heart with love and have brought much happiness into our home. ❤️ Each of you are so different from each other and I feel so blessed to have shared our lives together. Always know how much Mama loves you and will never forget you. I think about you every single day and will love you til the day after forever!! 😘

Hey Shortstuff!! wub.gif Wow!! You’ve been on my mind, especially for the last several days. Anticipating your 10th angelversary. Though time has gone by, I still see your face so clearly. Our beautiful memories are kept safe and vivid in my heart and mind. You’re an integral part of who I am and as long as I walk this earth, I will never forget you. ❤️ There’s no doubt in my mind that one day we’ll be reunited.....never to be separated again. I will love you until the day after forever!! 🐾❤️

I can’t believe 12 years have gone by so quickly. Yet it seems so long ago. You’re still in my heart now and forever ❤️ 🐾 I will love you til the day after forever!! ❤️
