"If my tears could build a stairway
and my memories a lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again"

"It is not just that animals make the world more scenic or picturesque. The lives of animals are woven into our very being - closer than our own breathing - and our soul will suffer when they are gone." - Gary Kowalski, Author of The Souls of Animals

The wind casts seeds to scatter in the breeze. We plant seeds of love into others' souls to bloom. Those who bloom in the hearts of others never die.

We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.
Irving Townsend

Memories made in love can never be taken away

I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain,
not because I did not love you,
but because I loved you too much to force you to stay.

Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn how to swim. - Vicki Harrison

God's finger touched hin, and he slept. - Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Grief is so painfuly real, regardless of its origin.
The love of, and attachment to, an animal friend can equal that of human relationships.
Likewise, the loss of an animal can be just as devastating.
Rev. Joel L. Morgan

"I will always remember the olive-eyed tabby who taught me that not all relationships are meant to last forever. Sometimes, just an hour is enough to touch your heart. - Barbara L. Diamond
