Ferals want to be loved Too!

WALK IN SUNSHINE

To Grimes (Spirit Dove),
May you always walk in sunshine and God’s love around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know, it broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, a part of us went with you, the day God called you home. A million times we've needed you. A million times we've cried. If love could only have saved you. You never would have died. The Lord be with you and may you rest in peace.
Amen

Poem for my Spirit Dove Grimes...

Whispering Winds
~Marge Tindal~ ©2000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hear them whisper your name,
those mighty winds that blow.
I know that you are close at hand
the winds just told me so.

The direction from whence they blew,
I'm not sure I know.
For only when I hear your name,
am I sure the winds did blow.

Caressing my face with a whisper.
Calling out your name.
The winds of delight entice me.
I will never be the same.

I will follow the singing wind,
and where it leads I'll go.
For the wind that blew you to me,
will take me where I must go.

Upward into the hills.
Calmly across the sea.
Hold on my love, I'm coming,
the wind has set me free.

Free to look and search this earth
no matter how far that may be.
Free to follow the whispering wind,
until it blows me back to thee.

I hear your laughter on the wind.
I try with all my might
to reach out to you
on this windy night.

I feel you getting close to me.
I feel your whispered love.
I will reach my hand to you
please find me, my sweet dove.

You grasp my hand in yours
and softly speak my name,
out of the whispering winds
we are together again.

GRIMES HAS MOVED ON TO THE SPIRIT WORLD 12/29/08

Today my heart fills with grief... my Grimes moved on to the spirit world. Though Grimes was feral he was my little teddy bear. I came home from work today to find him on the front porch breathing shallow and taking his last few steps out of this world. I placed a blanket over him and dabbed some holy water on his head while I said a prayer. I decided that I didn’t want him to suffer, so I put him in the car to take him to the vet so that they could put him to rest, but he had his own plans, and his spirit left his body a few blocks a way into the drive. I still drove him to the vet to get him body cremated, as I do with all my cats (indoor and out). I hadn’t seen grimes for four days, until today. I guess Grimes came home to die... one of the myths that they tell us... cats hide under bushes to find their place to die. Well, not my Grimes... he came home to his God mama so that we could say our final goodbyes.
Until we meet again Grim A Boo~
Love you,
God Mama Sam:(
