Dear Pamela,

I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your precious angel Moose today on this six month annivesary. If I could bring Moose back for you, I wouldn't hesitate. I would give everything I had. Unfortunately, none of us can bring our furbabies back. I just know your Moose is missing you as much as you miss him. He is up there waiting for you, though. He is healthy and feeling no pain.

I am sending you BIG warm hugs!

Love,
Cheri

Here is a poem I dedicate to you both. The author is unknown and I have changed a few words to fit. This poem touches me and I think it fits you and Moose

High up in the courts of heaven today
A lab dog angel waits;
With the other angels he will not play,
But he sits alone at the gates.
For I know my master will come, says he,
And when she comes she will call for me.

The other angels pass him by
As they hurry towards the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
As he sits at the gates alone.
But I know if I just wait patiently
That someday my master will call for me.

And his master, down on the earth below,
As she sits on the beach so bare,
Forgets sometimes, and whispers low
To the dog, who is not there.
And the lab dog angel ##s his ears,
And dreams that his master's voice he hears.

And when at last his master waits
Outside in the dark and cold,
For the hand of death to open the door,
That leads to those courts of gold,
She will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
A lab dog angel's bark.

Cheri,

That poem was simply beautiful. You did a great job making it fit Moose and Pamela.

Thinking of you, Pamela - today, on the 6th month anniversary of your Moose's passing. He is waiting for you, very patiently.

Love,
Lynn

Cheri, that was beautiful. I have tears streaming down my cheeks.

Pamela, I'm thinking of you and Moose's 6 month anniversary.
Love,
Kathleen

Dear Pamela, I too am thinking of you and your dear sweet precious Moose. I know how sad and lonely you have been for your darling boy, how very much you miss him. We all have such a void from our babies being ripped from our lives. Yet all we can do is strive to go on and continue with an altered life.

I have watched you come such a long way since you first started posting. You are a real comfort to others and even through your pain I have seen your sense of humor and most of all your love and compassion.

As always I am praying for you and sending hugs your way. All we can do is try to do our best while we are waiting to be reunited with our precious loves. I know we have to live with the pain and I am so sorry that we had to lose our babies, but I am so blessed that God brought our paths together. You have been a comfort for me and so many others on this wonderful LS.
Love, Ann

Just want you to know, Pamela, that I'm thinking of you and hoping that you know that Moose may not be here in body, but is with you in spirit.

Cheri, that is a beautiful poem. What a good friend you are to Pamela!

Carol

Pamela,

I just wanted to add my thoughts and prayers to the others. You and Moose are in my prayers tonight.

Kristie

Thank you CheriAnn, I read this last night and was overwhelmed. I feel like I am part of a special group of people here.
I am so connected in spirt with you all. I have said this before but when Moose passed I told God I really needed an Angel, I needed help now because it was more than my soul could bare.
And you know what? I dont even remember how I got here to LS and look at all the angels that have surrounded me. I am truely grateful, it has been an answered prayer.
I am off to eastern Wa, it has been raining for 2 weeks here, (not the downpours of the east) it just mist and lite rain for long periods at a time. I am looking forward to the warmer weather, it is 250 miles from here, the drive is about 4 hours,,,depending how much coffee I drink on the way So love to you all. Something I have been pondering from a poem I have read..
Has sorrow become my friend? Because she takes me straight to the heart of God? Love Pamela

Dear Pamela, Yes, my friend sometimes sorrow does take us straight to the heart of God. And in His Arms He holds are babies safe and secure until He restores them to us again. Our joy will be complete for ever more. Until then keep holding on to your precious memories of your darling Moose. This picture of Moose in the water is so precious.
Love, Ann

Dear Pamela,
You and Moose are in my thoughts and prayers too. Have a good, safe trip.
Love,
Marcia

I too am crying from that beautiful poem. Have a safe trip Pamela. I hope it brings up a renewed strength.

Hi Pamela,

I am thinking of you and your Moose too. I am not at home, and have no email access except the occaisional visit at the local library, so I missed your actual anniversary day. I can't believe that it's been six months for you. It does not seem that long.

Take care - Steph
