MY BEAUTIFUL GERMAN SHEPHERD
MY BIG CUDDLY FURBABY.
YOU BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY INTO OUR LIVES, LOVE YOU BEN FOR ETERNITY XXX . MISS YOU BEN XXX
Today ,Tuesday 11.30 am 17 th Feb 2009 our special big guy, Ben fell asleep forever ,we lost u to
cancer, we got you when u were just six weeks old , and what a terror u were ,but we loved u
anyways , u have been our lives for the past six and a half years and we will cherish that forever .
it's just not fare , u are to young to go to heaven , u should have passed in ur sleep at a ripe
old age , but sadly that was'nt to be , our hearts are broken without u, u will always be in our
hearts ,we love u big guy ,
Ben was our wean,just the three of us,always together.
Ben was so special to us and to everyone who knew him , everyone loved him , when christmas arrived
my mum used to give me twenty quid to get him toys and markies , we spoiled him rotten ,, Birthdays
we celabrated too , Ben will be sadly missed by all , last night ( monday 16th) we had so many
visitors to see him , before he left us , i was amazed ,so many people are going to miss him ,, if i
get that many visitors before i go, i will do well ,,
Ben's fav things , he loved his long walks up the walkway, and also ayr beach he loved his markies
and his fried steak well done i might add, also his strawberry cheese cake we sat and shared one
last nite ,and he really enjoyed it , but what he loved most in the world was the sunsine yes
sunshine, when my back door was open and the sun was shining it created a shadow diagonally towards
my garage so if i shook the door ben would chase the shadow he loved it so much, so i would torment
him by chanting " ooooh the sunshine is out to play" he would go bonkers and run for the door, the
same applied to a torch u would only have to say the word torch and he would sit at the cupboard
door where the torch was kept ,we had lots of fun in the time we were together and i will cherish
every minute of it for the rest of my life ...i have video's of u and thousands of photo's of u too
, as you know that photography is my favorite past time
As i said, Ben loved to pose for the camera, everywhere we went i took my camera, even up the
walkway on any normal day , cause there was never a day he would'nt surprise us doing something or
other , he was remarkable , very intelligant , trustworthy and very protective , our family is not
complete anymore without him

GOODNITE OUR SPECIAL BOY
-------
With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
After all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
If there was anything we could do; you know we would
I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears
While I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
Especially the ones; of the day we all met
One last hug; and one last kiss
You have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
You tell me it's ok; you know it's your time
Close your eyes now; and go to sleep
We’ll pray to the Lord; you're soul he'll keep
Go in peace now; our good friend
We’ll stay right here with you; until the end
Dream of that special day and time
When we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine
We'll run and play; side by side
With a soft warm feeling; deep down inside
Your memory will live on; in each one of us
You’ll always be number 1; to all of us
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light
So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
Just for now my friend; we say goodbye
We love you Ben, and always will.
You may be gone son, but we will
Never forget you. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER 1.....
IN OUR HEARTS......
GOODNITE OUR SPECIAL BOY

♥ From Water Bug to Dragonfly ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The bottom of the pond is muddy and dark
There is fear of the unknown
There is loneliness as things change
There is the desperation of being left behind
Not knowing, not understanding
Watching and waiting
Then the journey comes
Up the stem
What waits beyond?
Sunlight
Freedom
Dancing together in joy with those who went before
And who will come after.

♥ The Only Way ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
• The only way we can be protected from the pain of loss and the grief we feel, is by having never loved.
• How empty our lives would be, and what a lot of wonderful shared moments we would have missed, if we had not known.
• So, although what we feel at the moment is terrible, we must try to remember that it is because we have all been privileged to have known and loved, that we now feel the pain and sadness.

*** Love to you and your Angel from Mel. ***
♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.

~ I Promise ~
(Author Unknown)
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.
I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.
I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.
I promise I will endeavour
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.

♥ Just a Breath Away ♥ 2003 Marilyn Ferguson ♥
Look for me in springtime
As raindrops fill the air
In the splendour of the rainbow
You’ll find my presence there.
You will find me in the fragrance
Of April’s sweet perfume
Drifting through the clover
On a sultry day in June.
An August day will find me
Upon the summer breeze
On the distant sound of the thunder
In the gently swaying trees.
In the golden fields of harvest
Is where I can be found.
As autumn time approaches
And leaves comes tumbling down
In the wintertime when days are short
And chill is in the air
Just look into a moonlit night
You’ll find me lingering there.
When the setting sun has gone away
And shadows fill the night
When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil
I’ll be your morning light.
So when you feel discouraged
And at night to God you pray
You’ll feel me there beside you
I’m just a breath away.

~ Immeasurable (by Sean Ashcroft) ~
Laughter will still sound,
even though you’re gone.
But the decibels will dip,
with some smiles, painted on.
Hopes will still soar,
dreams float on high.
But the altitude will drop,
as will the supply.
Passion will still drive us,
desire wave us off.
But the revs will decline
and the engine might cough.
Time will be bejewelled,
lives lit by waltzing light.
But the carats will diminish,
its brilliance a lesser sight.
Yet memories have no volume,
love no mass nor weight.
These will broaden, widen, deepen,
a true measure of something great.

~ Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.

•♥ Heaven ♥•
A silver thread that keeps me near
To those I love and hold so dear,
Will someday slip, and I'll swim free.
A soul afloat in a bounteous sea.
I'll also soar in maddening glee,
To places unseen by you and me.
Through darkest night and brightest day,
I'll fly to a far and magical bay.
In ethereal havens of love and peace,
My God-given life will never cease.
The passing of time will be obsolete ...
Travelling the auras, no great feat.
Don't you grieve, notice the sound
Of my songs to you with love abound.
I'll never leave you, don't you see?
I'll live with you, eternally!
(Carol Patterson Shott)
