With the recent 2 year anniversary of my Sasha's death, it seems as though I miss her more than ever. I was thinking about her again this morning as I was driving and I actually had thoughts about how long she had been gone and how far away she was from me...I couldn't help but cry. I wondered if she forgives me for making her stay until I felt she was ready to go...or if I did it too soon. So many regrets...so much guilt...so many emotions. Then a song came on that was almost so accurate to my feelings it was scary.... it made me cry so hard I had to pull over. I came home and found a place on line that I could post it here for you all to hear (if you want). It is actually the video, so just ignore that part (which is also pretty good, but it doesn't suit my situation )and just listen to the words...it will probably touch some of your hearts as well. Thanks for listening...

Dear Kim,

I just finished listening to the song....how incredibly beautiful.....I cant even begin to thank you for the caring and empathy you express for everyone here. Sasha had to be one of the luckiest animals in creation to have you. I'm sure she knows it still.

I truely think God and Sasha sent you to us because you always know exactly what to say. That is all the proof you should need to know you will again some day be with your baby.....you are now doing what she wants from heaven...

Thank You for all you do for us.

Kim,
I love the song. (The video is pretty good too) I know exactly how you feel about Sasha. I have a 7 year old female German Shephard named Shauna. She's my girl. CoCo was my little buddy, but she's my girl. She's in good health now, but I know the day will come soon enough. Sometimes I go out and let her put her paws on my shoulder and I hug her as hard as I can. The next time I do that I'm going to say "This ones for Sasha." You and Sasha are in my thoughts and prayers this evening. Blessings upon you.
Steve

Thank you both so much.
It really does help when I hear people say that my words are healing to them...I'm glad something good can come from all of this pain I'm feeling !Boy did this bring on the tears . I hope you really will do that for me. Not only will it just give you an excuse to give Shauna an extra big hug, but I truly feel like the sentiment of it will reach Sasha where she is. You can even add 'your mommy loves and misses you'...if you want ! There is no doubt that I will have another Ger. Shep one day...when I'm ready.....
Kim
