    Cancer Sucks

    With more saddness than I thought i could feel, I watched Brodie take her last breath today. I wished at that moment that I could take mine as well. Numbness all day. Breast cancer finally filled her body and won. There will never be another soul like hers. Thank you all for your support through her illness.

    aw, Sorry Invisiblewoman, I'm glad you had all that extra time with her, but it sounds like there's going to be a big big space in your life without her.

    I am very sorry for your loss of sweet Brodie, invsblwmn.

    Losing a beloved pet absolutely sucks.

    Be kind to yourself, and take the time you need to grieve.

    Betsy

    This is our Bagel (Beagle-Bassett). Her name is Betsy and she's by far the greatest pet we've ever had. Gentle, loving and very spoiled.

    My heart goes out to you as you had to let go of Brodie today. Big hugs to you as she crosses over the Rainbow Bridge.

    My heart goes out to you and words provide inadequate comfort during a time like this.

    Brodie's angel will bring her down to visit you. This is from a votive candle I got after I lost my sweet Golden Retriever, Agnes, last May: "grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you... I loved you so - 'twas Heaven here with you"

    I'm Still Here

    Friend, please don't mourn for me
    I'm still here, though you don't see.
    I'm right by your side each night and day
    and within your heart I long to stay.

    My body is gone but I'm always near.
    I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
    My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
    as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

    I'll never wander out of your sight-
    I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
    I'll never be beyond your reach-
    I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

    I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
    and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
    I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
    The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

    I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
    The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
    I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
    and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

    When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
    you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
    I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
    and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

    I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
    and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
    I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
    Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

    Oh no, invsblwmn, that's so sad I feel for you. Brodie was obviously a close and wonderful friend, and she got to help you through one of your hardest times.
