Poem For All Of Us, Heaven And Earth Options

[ladywolf]

Hi Anna and everyone:

You said in your last post: We are all on a slow journey but hopefully we will make it to our desination.

I totally understand what you mean, and thought you might appreciate the words I have hanging on my wall, from the days when I used to live on the road:

How long the road is.
But for all the time the journey has already taken
How you have needed every second of it
In order to learn what the road passes by...

This suggests to me that the process is what is most important, not the destination. We learn from every day that we hurt--we learn about love and loss and gain and being brave and recovering, and it's a slow gradual process with lots of twists and turns and even back-tracks along the way. I look at Ladywolf right now, thoroughly satisfied after another wonderful dinner, and I think, "It's all been a journey, and it will continue to be a journey all the way through her passing, and the time after that too...and on to the next adventure..." (I can say this now calmly, after cracking up in my counselor's office today over Ladywolf and money stress, and having to take a tranquilizer in order to be able to even continue to speak! So I don't have it all THAT together--I'm just in the aftermath period right now, I guess...But I do love the words I quoted above.)

Keep the faith, everyone. Time WILL heal.

My nine dogs, by the way, were in three different generations (and what a mixed bag they were!) I always had at least two, and often three or even four. That's why I have so many beloveds waiting for me in doggie heaven!

Hi Margi

Thank you that is a wonderful quote and oh how true. The only thing I wish I could have taken a couple detours along the way. Which makes me think how I missed all the signs.

Thank You
Anna

Hi My Angels
I still cant believe that all my babies have now left me. It makes me realize how short of time we have here on this earth and how fast time goes by. Your 7 years here now seem like it was only 7 days. Oh how much I miss you.

Sending you kisses
Mommy
