Goliath Aloysius 1/25/1997 Til 11/6/2007, Giving Thanks For A Special Angelversary Options

[goliath]

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

{*{*{*{*{*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!!!
