Goodbye Jessie.

[raiye]

Mums old girlie is very ill and it has been agreed that PTS is for the best. Im sure you will all join me in giving her your best wishes as she says good bye to darling Jessie tomorrow evening. She would have been 16 next January. A very much loved family member.

 

 

FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND

 

You're giving me a special gift,

So sorrowfully endowed,

And through these last few cherished days,

Your courage makes me proud.

 

But really, love is knowing

When your best friend is in pain,

And understanding earthly acts

Will only be in vain.

 

So looking deep into your eyes,

Beyond, into your soul,

I see in you the magic, that will

Once more make me whole.

 

The strength that you possess,

Is why I look to you today,

To do this thing that must be done,

For it's the only way.

 

That strength is why I've followed you,

And chose you as my friend,

And why I've loved you all these years...

My partner 'til the end.

 

Please, understand just what this gift,

You're giving, means to me,

It gives me back the strength I've lost,

And all my dignity.

 

You take a stand on my behalf,

For that is what friends do.

And know that what you do is right,

For I believe it too.

 

So one last time, I breathe your scent,

And through your hand I feel,

The courage that's within you,

To now grant me this appeal.

 

Cut the leash that holds me here,

Dear friend, and let me run,

Once more a strong and steady dog,

My pain and struggle done.

 

And don't despair my passing,

For I won't be far away,

Forever here, within your heart,

And memory I'll stay.

 

I'll be there watching over you,

Your ever faithful friend,

And in your memories I'll run,

...a young dog once again.

 

 

I wish I could be there with you Mum, but please know you are both in my heart today.

We'll be thinking of you all

[Yantan]

Thinking of you all

 

Marion

[Bernie]

to you and your Mum raiye, will be thinking of you.

[Sillymooo]

When the warmth of the sun touches my face,

I see your eyes and feel your embrace.

 

I hear the whisper of love in the wind

And I know that you are close to me again

 

The rain speaks of tears and the thunder of pain,

But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.

 

As the days come and go and the world moves on,

I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.

 

On the night the Angel came and took your hand,

We cried as you left for an unknown land.

 

But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight,

For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

 

 

all my thoughts are with you today lee, as a friend.

take comfort in the thought that she'll be with you always, just not feeling any pain.

[Houndwoman]

Safe journey to the other side Jessie

 

You will be young again when you reach the Bridge

 

for your mum and all who loved her so much.

[raiye]

Jessie has passed quietly over a rainbow of her own.

Sleep well darling one.

[Jacobean]

I'm so sorry. Run free sweetheart.

[Raiye's Mum]

Death is always one of the hardest things anyone has to deal with in life.

Today I sent my best friend to the bridge.

 

JP Pup'n'stuff (Jessie-katz)

 

From that tiny pup snuggled in my arms

you've melted away my heart

But years have slowly past us both

and now we have to part

 

Call softly please to Jessie

Len I'm entrusting her to you

Please fold your arms around her tight

and love her as I do

 

She's waited long and patiently

to again walk by your side

And pined for you and Trigger puss

from the moment you both died

 

Play safe my sweet, sweet lady

at the edge of Rainbow stream

Run free and young and happy

with old age a distant dream
