First off I want to start of this topic by saying thank you to all that have replied to my Putty topic. You have all brought so much gratitude, and comfort into my heart with your words of encouragement. All I can say, is thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I just wanted to tell everyone this story, because it just had to be shared. My second job is working with the Developmentally Disabled. I was working tonight, and brought the guys to see the new "Batman" movie, which was pretty good, by the way.
Anyway, we left the movie at a little after 9:00 PM, and I loked up into the sky and saw the most magnificent sunset that I've ever seen. I immediately felt that it was a sign from my higher power and Putty, that Putty was indeed okay. Did anone see the sunset I saw? I live in Minnesota.Anyway, I got home from work a little bit ago, and went on the petloss website. I saw they had the candle ceremony, and was saddened that I missed it. I looked up Putty's name to see if she had been put on the list of animals that everyone was paying tribute to, and saw her pretty name.(Putty passed away 6/16/05) That is when my stomach sank, and I thought about the sunset I saw. Folks, this sunset took place WHILE the candle ceremony was taking place!!!(At the time I saw the sunset, I did not remember that the candle ceremony was taking place tonight)
The sky was lit with streams of white light, shattering into hues of pink, lavender, and blue. If anone has ever seen northern lights, that is the best way I can describe it, but as a sunset. The rays of light were like beacons calling down from the sky. The glow from the heavens literally colored my skin a pink color. I even remember just faintly thinking, because there were so...many streams of light, that my higher power was really out doing him/herself. The power of prayer is powerful, especially in multitudes. I believe ALL of our pets were there together. Our beloved pets are safe, and filled with a serenity that us mortals could only dream of feeling. They made up the hundreds, if not thousands of streams of light I saw. I felt so compelled to share this with everyone. Sceptics or not, it brought me great comfort tonight, and some serious goosebumps. I believe that our loved ones send us signs that they are okay, we only have to keep our hearts and minds open to this. My hope is that my story touches someones grieving heart this evening. P.S. To those that do not know what the Monday night candle ceremony is go to petloss.com It is a tribute that everone can join in on dedicated to our pets.
I just want to pay tribute to my Angel kitty Putty this evening. She was the prettiest light orange, and cream baby. She had a heart shaped nose, and was the sweetest most gentle creature I've ever known. Her life was brief, she lived only five years, and in which most of her life she was sick with renal failure. But, she never complained, and her love for me and life kept her at bay for an additional 14 months, when they predicted she had 3 weeks to live. I love you Putty, thank you bringing so much love and joy into my life. I will see you again. I know it, because I feel it.
Good night everyone....
