OUR TIME IS SLIPPING AWAY

HOW DO I HOLD ON TO YOU
AND STILL LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO LET YOU GO?
HOW WILL I PUT OUT THE LIGHT
WHEN INSIDE MY HEART THE FIRES GROW?
HOW DO I TURN BACK THE TIME
AND TURN DEATH FROM THE DOOR?
HOW WILL I FILL MY EMPTY ARMS
WHEN I CAN'T HOLD YOU ANYMORE?

HOW WILL I JUST STEP BACK AND LET THINGS BE AS THEY MUST.
HOW CAN I SAY GOOD -BYE
WHEN I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH.
HOW WILL I STAY WARM AT NIGHT,
WHEN YOUR NOT CUDDLED BY MY SIDE?
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THIS ?
LORD KNOWS HOW HARD I'VE TRIED.

HOW WILL I GIVE YOU BACK TO GOD
WHEN I FEEL THAT YOU ARE MINE.
HOW WILL I EVER ACCEPT THE FACT
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

WRITTEN BY AUDREY W. (AKA MOMMA)
DEDICATED TO MY MOST BELOVED FRIEND IN THIS LIFETIME
MY DOG PUPPIE BUBBA WILMOT.
THIS POEM WAS STARTED ONE YR BEFORE I PASSED AND WAS FINISHED 1 WEEK AFTER MY JOURNEY TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.
THE WORDS FINALLY CAME FULL CIRCLE TO MOM.

ADOPTION MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.IT MEANS A STREET RAT LIKE ME CAN FIND A WARM BED A FULL BOWL OF FOOD /WATER A GOOD DR A FIXED BROKEN LEG .FREEDOM FROM GIVING BIRTH ON THE STREETS TO MORE PUPPIES THAT WILL ONLY PARISH.

A FAMILY WHO LOVED ME ENOUGH TO HAVE ME SPAYED MY SHOTS. FIXED MY TEETH. BUT ALL THAT FALLS SECONDARY TO THE LOVE I FOUND WITH MY ADOPTED FAMILY OVER THE NEXT 19 YRS. THE LAST 5 YRS OF MY LIFE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CONGETIVE HEART FALIURE AS TIME WENT ON MY HEART GREW SO WEAK.
I WAS PT ON 3 DIFFERANT MEDICATIONS
1.ANACARD
2.LASIX
3.DIGOXIN .
THESE MEDS WERE THE ONLY WAY I COULD LIVE.AND THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE. I HAD TO HAVE THEM 2 X DAY. BUT DID THAT STOP MY FAMILY? NEVER!
I SADLY NEW THAT THERE WERE TIMES,, MANY OF THEM WHERE THEY GAVE UP THEIR OWN MEDICATIONS THEY NEEDED OR FOOD TO MAKE SURE I HAD LIFE SAVING MEDACATIONS I NEEDED.

THEY NEVER WENT FAR FROM HOME BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THEIR LIFE WAS SCEDULED AROUND MY NEEDS. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THERE ARE FEW OUT THERE WHO LOVE SO SELFLESSLY AS MOMMY & DADDY DID. THOSE WHO DO ARE ANGELS ON EARTH.
AND A LIL STREET RAT LIKE ME WELL I LIVED A LONG LOVING LIFE. AND WHEN THAT FAITHFUL DAY ROLLED IN UPON US I GOT TO SEE THE REAL LOVE.
THE TRUEST TEST OF ALL.
AFTER BREAKING MY BACK IN A LIL FALL OR TWIST DR SAID AT MY AGE IT COULD HAD BEEN A COUGH. BUT AFTER 7 DAYS OF ROUND THE CLOCK MORPHINE AND MOM DAD SLEEPING WITH ME ON THE FLOOR..
THE FINAL GIFT THEY GAVE ME WAS THE ULTIMATE GIFT FROM A BELOVED FAMILY.

AN HONOR SOME SAY... BESTOWED UPON A DOG/CAT OWNER .
THEY STAYED WITH ME AND HELD ME IN THEIR LOVING ARMS WITH TEARS STREAMING DOWN THEIR FACES AS I TOOK MY FINAL BREATH AND WITH MY LAST EXHALE I SET THEM FREE FROM MY VIEW.. FOREVER.

THAT RAINY APRIL DAY
APRIL 17 2003
MY JOURNEY ENDED .
NOT ON THE STREETS STARVING TO DEATH BUT IN MOMMY & DADDYS LOVING ARMS.
ADOPT A STREET RAT WE HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE...

CELEBRATING EASTER IN MY HOME 6 YRS LATER

I celebrate Easter. a special way .

6 yrs ago i passed this earth on good friday..Iti was a terribly sad day.
mom was no longer able to hold me close .
this would be my first journey without her loving warm arms.
but here is where the miracle came in....

As you know..I was creamated and by the good lords grace somehow. I was deliveraded to the door step at 7:30 am Easter mourning 2003.

mom woke early to get coffee on.
There was a knock on the door and a deliverary driver said he had a urgent deliverary for us and to sign for it.
mom did..
mom & dad did not much feel like opening it .
mom dad were grieving horribly still and missing me so after all it had only been 2 days since my journey began.

But after coffee and breakfast they sat and looked at each other and decided they would see what was sent in the lil box.
Honestly they thought it was somthing from grandma .

Well when mom opned the box removed the special bubbles and peanuts sprinkled all around.
There was this gorgeous note that read .

Mom & Dad.
God said I could come home for Easter.
under the note was a Cedar chest with 2 keys.
mom shaking handed it to daddy.
He took the key turned the lil lock .and opened the box.

There was my Collar my Tags and
My Ashes in a sealed foil pouch.
A rose and a lil angel. a note from my sweet Dr Wishner saying how much he would miss me and how while treating me all those yrs he had grown to love me as his own. Lastly was a lil ceramic plate with my Paw Prints Embedded AND A SNIP OF MY HAIR WRAPPED IN A LIL VELVET POUCH.

YOU ASK HOW WE CELEBRATE EASTER.
WELL MOM DAD OPEN MY CEDAR BOX AND MOM LIGHT CANDLES THIS YR WILL BE 6 CANDLES

AND THEN WE CELEBRATE THE MEANING OF EASTER .THE BLESSING, THE REBIRTH OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND GOOD.

HAPPY EASTER ALL. IT WILL BE ANOTHER HAPPY EASTER FOR US HERE AT OUR HOME...

LETTER FROM THE BRIDGE FROM PUPPIE

Oh momma looks.
Aren't they just the most beautiful wings you ever seen?
I fly so fast and everywhere with just a thought.
Mom I have been with you all day today mommy. When you were typing my story I was lying next to your chair. When you were decorating my page I was watching you. As you cried this morning I cried with you.
And as you open my special cedar box with my ashes in it I flew up into the air so you could inhale me. Never think that I’m gone I'M NOT.I AM in your thoughts your prayers you laughter your tears. every memory ever day that we walked together for over 19 yrs. how could I not be with you, I know that you feel me climb on the bed sometimes late when you’re sleeping. You are not dreaming I am there watching your every breath as you sleep. Lately I have been staying much closer to you’d know you have been very sick. And maybe, just maybe our days together are not so very far away. It is not for me to say. Thank you everyone for my wings. bambina I love ya lots .and tunner you were such a helper to mommy to, thank you for your selfless gift.
Well I must go home now momma.dont you cry.i'm always only a thought away oxoo puppie 2/22/07

7 DAYS BEFORE MY 5 YR ANNIVERSARY AND MOM HAS FINALLY FOUND- PEACE

MOMMA!!!
HAS CHANGED MY PAGE TO SHOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHANGES INSIDE MOMS HEART,
YOU SEE MOM HAS BEEN SO HEART BROKEN FOR SO LONG AND HER GRIEF HAS BEEN VERY APPARENT TO THOSE WHO KNOW AND LOVE HER,
IT WAS VERY HARD FOR MOM TO SAY GOODBYE TO ME,
BUT TODAY MOMMA WOKE UP AND LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY SHE WENT STRAIGHT TO MY PAGE,
SHE WEEPED AS LIKE MANY MANY DAYS AND YEARS BEFORE.
THEN SHE SAID !!
PUPPIE
I THINK IT IS TIME WE BRING YOU IN TO SOME BRIGHTER LIGHT ,.SO OFF SHE RAN TO CREATE JUST THE RIGHT BACKGROUND TO ESPRESS HER FEELINGS TOWARDS ME,
WELL AFTER MANY TRYS MOMMA HAS IT THE WAY SHE FEELS , THE HARDEST PART WAS TO TAKE DOWN HER BACKGROUND WITH MY URN AND MEMORIAL. THIS SURPRISES ME ,AS THE ANNIVERSARY OF MY PASSING IS IN 7 DAYS,
BUT MAYBE THE LORD WORKS IN STRANGE WAYS ,I AM HEALING ,AND IT WARMS MY HEART SO ,TO SEE AFTER 5 VERY LONG TEARFUL YEARS .SO IS MOMMA
AND IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF THE LOVE FROM DOGSTER AND ALL HER FAMILY HERE,
WELL THIS LOOKS LIKE A NOVEL SO I WILL CLOSE FOR NOW,
WITH THIS ,..
MY MOMMA IS BACK WHAT BETTER GIFT COULD AN ANGEL PRAY FOR,

PUPPIE THE WINGMAKER

I AM SORRY MY PAGE MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY

IT HAS BEEN TOLD TO MOMMA MANY TIMES HOW MY PAGE HAS BROUGHT PUPS FAMILIES TO CRY WHILE VISITING.
I AM SO SORRY.
I AM NOT ATTEMPTING TO BRING HURT TO YOUR LIVES.
BUT IT DOES RAISE QUESTIONS TO MOM, SUCH AS HOW WELL IS MOM REALLY HEALING... I KNOW IT WILL BE 5 YRS APRIL 17TH SINCE I FLEW TO THE BRIDGE.
SOME TIMES I FEEL MOM SHOULD HAVE HEALED MORE. BUT TRUTH IS MOM HAS NOT MOVED ON THAT FAR YET.
AND IN ACTUALITY MOM MAY NEVER FULLY ACCOMPLISH THAT.
BUT THIS PAGE IS HER WAY TO HONOR ME HER BEST FRIEND IN A WAY THAT WORKS FOR MOM AND I.
YES IT IS SAD YET LIKE A BEAUTIFUL FRIEND POINTED OUT TO US.
TEARS ARE HEALING,
SO WITH EVER TEAR DROP THAT FALLS WHILE VIEWING MY PAGE THAT IS ONE MORE PIECE OF MY MOMS BROKEN HEART THAT HAS HEALED,
GUESS SHE WILL HAVE TO CRY A BILLION TEARS TO HEAL HER HEART BECAUSE IT WAS SHATTERED IN A BILLION PIECES,
1 TEAR PER PIECE. OF MY BROKEN HEART
A TEAR AT A TIME IT WILL MEND STRONG ONE DAY.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT WILL.
I JUST HAVE TO.
IT IS WHAT KEEPS MOM GOING.
WELL THAT IS ALL FOR NOW
LOVE PUPPIE

4 YRS ANNIVERSDARY ~I HAVE WINGS MOMMA

Oh my dear sweetPuppie : today is so bitter sweet a day. on the upside it is a day you found peace and comfort and freedom from the horrible pain you suffered, you were given your wings, on the down side i felt the best friend in my lifetime die in my arms .
To me unless someone has had to not only put their best friend to sleep. They can never truely understand the deep seeded guilt one would feel.
and at same time the sense of honor to be there till the end.
THIS IS A BLESSING HANDED TO A PET OWNER.
AND A DUTY!!!!!
It was mixed for me I could not put you thru anymore because of my selfishness and need to hold on,
OVER THE YEARS FOR ME,
I HAVE REALIZED THERE IS A REAL PURPOSE IN THE KNOWLEDGE WE LEARN THRU SUCH AN EXSPRIENCE.
I learned the true meaning of loving till it hurts ,
giving till you can give no more and then giving beyond all sense of logic and heart.
I learned that to love you need to hold tight,
and yet the true test in time will come when you must love enough to let go,
THIS IS THE TRUE TEST.
So I gave you back to God becase by all rights you had finished all you were sent to do, you had lived long enough to see momma finally get it.
Clean and sober off everything,
you lived thru my disease of neglagence and addiction, the things i dragged you thru with me have scared my heart,
yet you never protested because it was me you truely wanted to be with, and you were every where I went.
I will never forget the day we met, my lil angel. and i will always remember the first time we snuggled and I wasn't high,
oh I never felt anything like THAT since,
I will never forget 4 yrs ago today on a rainy cold mourning in Calif how I held you in my arms and held your heart to mine .
I felt your spirit leave thru me as if to say one final GOODBYE.
Puppie I will be ok !!
this I promise you.
and I will continue my life in Sobriety,
I will be getting you my lil angel tatooed on me real soon,
today I will sadly go back to that same vet hospital and this time i will leave trixiemae and it just breaks my heart TO GO THERE AGAIN ,but this time THANK GOD she will come home with me later after her test .
GODSPEED my best friend in this and every life time TO COME.
I will bring you where ever I go ,
till we are together againI will leave wishing I had one more day one more time one more sunset
maybe THAN I"D be satified!!!
BUTthen again I know what that would do .
leave me wishing still for one more day with you.
xooxoxoxoox
mommy and daddy (we send puppie kisses to you today)

I GOT MY WINGS:

oh momma look . aren't they just the most beautiful wings ever. and i fly so fast and everywhere with just a thought. i have been with you all day today mommy. when you were typing my story i was lying next to your chair. when you were decorating my page i was watching you. as you cried this mourning i cried with you. and as you open my special box with my ashes in it i flew up into the air so you could inhale me. never think that i'm gone,i'm not. i'm in you thoughts your prayers you laughter your tears. every memory ever day that we walked together for over 19 yrs. how could i not be with you, i know that you feel me climb on the bed sometimes late when your sleeping. you are not dreaming i am there watching your every breath as you sleep. lately i have been staying much closer to you know you have been very sick. and maybe,just maybe our days together are not so very far away. it is not for me to say. thank you everyone for my wings. bambina i love ya lots .and tunner you were such a helper to mommy to, thank you for you selfless gift.

GOOD -BYE MY BELOVED FRIEND

PUPPIE WAS MY BELOVED BEST FRIEND IN THIS LIFE TIME, SHE CAME TO ME WHEN I WAS LIVING THRU

THE DARKEST DEEPEST DESPAIRE ONE CAN GO THRU ALONE ,AND HER LOVEBROUGHT ME TO THE LIGHT.

HOW CAN YOU THANK ANYONE FOR THAT ,. SHE LIVED TO BE 19.5 YRS OLD .AND LEFT TO LIVE WITH

GOD. ON APRIL 17 2003.AND EVEN THE SKIES POURED TEARS THAT DAY AND FOR MANY DAYS AFTER.
THE DREADED DAY CAME AND SHE TWISTED HER BACK, AND BROKE HER DISK, AT HER AGE AND WITH HER

HEART THERE WAS LITTLE WE COULD DO, SO WE MADE HER AS COMFY AS WE COULD WITH INJECTIONS

GIVEN US BY THE VET, OF MORPHINE & ANTI IMFLAMATORY DRUGS, BUT SHE COULD NOT GROW STRONG, SO

WE DID THE HARDEST THING A PET OWNER AND LOVER MUST DO ,WE HELD HER AS CLOSE AS I COULD AND

WATCHED HER TAKE HER LAST BREATH, SAFELY IN MY ARMS, RIGHT WHERE I ALWAYS PROMISED HER SHE

WOULD BE TILL THE END. AND BELIEVE ME SHE NEW IT TOO.PUPPIE DIED 3 YRS AGO THE DAY BEFORE

EASTER. , TO MY DISBELIEF HER ASHES WERE BROUGHT TO OUR HOUSE (EASTER SUNDAY) I COULDN'T

HAVE ASKED FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM GOD. I WROTE A POEM IN HONOR OF HER ,BEFORE SHE

DIED ,I WORKED ON IT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR BEFORE HER DEATH ,AS I KNEW IT WAS COMING SOON, IT IS

VERY SPECIAL TO ME, AND IF YOU LIKE IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT

PLEASE GIVE ME THE WRITER THE RESPECT OF NOT PUTTING YOUR NAME AS THE WRITER OK AND HEY,

MAYBE YOU COULD ASK BEFORE JUST TAKING IT ,WE WOULD LIKE THAT ALOT ,POEM WILL BE UP IN A DAY

OR SO OK,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PUPPIE OUR 3RD YR APART

WELL ON THIS OUR 3 YEAR APART, I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO HONOR YOU MY LITTLE QUEEN.
HOW GRAND YOU WERE AND HOW YOU COMANDED PERFECTION AND ATTENTION FROM US HER ON EARTH. YOU WERE SO LOVED PUPPIE.
I REMEMBER PUPPIE WHEN YOU SAVED ME.YOU WERE ALL BUT STARVED TO DEATH.YOU COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT MORE THEN A FEW DAYS MORE.
AND SADLY I COULD TELL THAT ALL THE HUMAN TOUCHES YOU KNEW WERE BRUTAL, VILOENT, AND UNWORTHY OF YOUR GENTLENESS AND KINDNESS.
YET NATURE HAS A WAY OF LETTING US KNOW THAT THE OTHER IS HURTING, AND WHEN YOU LISTENED TO ME CRYING THAT NIGHT WHILE YOU WERE HIDING IN THE BUSHES .YOU REACHED OUT TO YET ANOTHER STRANGE... A HUMAN TO COMFORT FORGETTING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN HURT BY ANOTHER HUMAN, YOU CARED MORE FOR ME THEN YOUR OWN SAFETY.WHERE DO YOU GET LOVE AND TRUST LIKE THAT IN THIS WORLD…, DESPITE YOUR FEAR OF PEOPLE YOU CAME OVER TO ME, A TOTAL STRANGER AND WHILE MY EYES WERE CLOSED YOU LICKED AND KISSED MY HAND AS IF TO TELL ME IT WILL BE ALLRIGHT,.
IN THAT VERY SECOUD I FELT COMPLETE LOVE FOR YOU FOR YOU FOR ME FOR MY LIFE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP .AND SAY TO MY SELF YOU DON’T WANT TO LET IT END HERE TODAY AUDREY YOU NEED TO HELP THIS PUP SHE NEEDS YOU,, AND THIS BEGAN OUR 19YR JOURNEY TOGETHER.
HERES A PIECE OF TURKEY, YOU SURE DID LOVE IT, AND A LITTLE PIE, A KISS AND A BELLY RUB FROM ME AND DADDY, AND A BIG MEOW FROM TOM CAT. OH TRIXIE SAYS HI, I AND WANTS TO TELL YOU SHE HAS EVERYTHING COVERED HERE AND FOR YOU NOT TO WORRY ABOUT MOMMY

My dearest friend,

Wow, one year has past and the pain of your passing hasn't lessoned at all it seems. The emptiness we suffered. Your daddy and I were the deepest pain we had ever experienced in our life time and the day you left the heavens were crying so hard. The weather report for Saturday the 17th April our one year anniversary. They say it is to rain. It almost seems fitting that this would happen.

We have found a little abused and neglected dog, a poodle. We named Trixe Mea. She is not you but she is loving and sweet as you were puppie and she has lessoned the deep un-bearable pain that was crippling us everyday in every way so I will go to Banfield on Saturday, the last place we were together and I will open my self up to hopefully feel your spirit all around me and at home. I bought you roses and I will open your urn and light candles to celebrate your life as well as mourn your passing.

I will carry you in my heart and soul all the days of my life and one day, Puppie, I know you will be waiting for me at the gates of heaven and I long to feel you in my arms again. God speed my little angel. I love you so mommy and daddy.

Has it really been one year, Puppie?

YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE SO MANY YEARS AGO,
WE WERE BOTH STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE IN A WORLD THAT HAD BEAT US DOWN. YET SOME HOW WE FOUND ONE ANOTHER. AND OUR LIVES CHANGED, IT WAS AS IF THE WORLD HAD STOPPED TO BRING OUR BROKEN SPIRITS TOGETHER.
OVER THE YEARS WE SHARED EVERYTHING,LAUGHTER,JOY,SADDNESS,HEARTACHES.YOU WOULD GENTLY LICK MY FACE WHEN MY TEARS WOULD FALL THEN YOU WOULD CUDDLE IN CLOSELY TO ME AND WE WOULD FALL ASLEEP.

THE YEARS PASSED AND YOU BEGIN TO SLOW,YET YOU WOULD ALWAYS GREET ME AT THE DOOR WITH A HOWL AND A SILLY LITTLE DANCE, THE DANCE OF LOVE, YOU BEGAN TO SLEEP ,AT TIMES IT SEEMED YOU'D NEVER WAKE AND THE REALITY THAT YOU WERE SO MUCH OLDER THAN I WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT HIT HOME HARD.
SO WE WENT TO THE PARKS AND WATCHED YOU SMILE AS YOU PAINFULLY WADDLED ALONG THE WATERS EDGE, STOPPING TO STARE AT A GOOSE OR A DUCK, THEN AS IF YOU HAD RUN OUT OF STEAM YOU WOULD LAY DOWN AND WATCH THE WORLD PASSING BY. EVERYONE WHO SAW YOU WOULD STOP AND SAY HOW CUTE YOU WERE AND IN AMAZEMENT TO YOUR AGE THEY WOULD SMILE ,STATING THAT YOU SURE ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF,BUT THAN THE DAY CAME WHEN WE TOOK YOU TO YOUR VETS KNOWING IT WAS YOUR LAST RIDE, WHAT AMAZED ME PUPPIE IS HOW YOU SAT UP TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW WITH A INJURED BACK FROM A FALL ,OR PERHAPS A TWIST OR A COUGH. THE POINT IS, IT WAS AS IF YOU KNEW THAT THIS WAS OUR LAST DAY TOGETHER.

I PROMISED YOU THAT I WOULD STAY WITH YOU TO THE BITTER END THROUGH THICK AND THIN GOOD OR BAD TILL DEATH DO WE PART. SO I DID,
ON THURSDAY MOURNING APRIL 17TH ,2003 ON A COLD AND RAINY DAY YOU DIED IN MY ARMS WRAPPED SAFELY IN YOUR ELMO BLANKET, AN IN A DROP OF A TEAR MY BEST FRIEND IN THIS LIFE TIME WAS GONE FROM MY LIFE. AND OH HOW I CRIED,AND CRIED.
IT HAS BEEN 2WEEKS NOW AND THE PAIN SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WILL NEVER END. I NOW HAVE YOUR ASHES HERE WITH ME AND PHOTO'S EVERYWHERE TO HELP TO EASE MY PAIN,I WILL BE HERE MY PRECIOUS GIRL WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO ME, IN THE FORM OF A NEW PUP BUT UNTILL THEN MY HEART BREAKS IN PIECES WAITING FOR YOU.
THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL BEING THAT YOU ALLOWED ME TO LOVE FOR SO LONG. IF YOU HAD ASKED ME TO LOVE HER ANOTHER LIFE TIME ,IT STILL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO LOVE HER.GOD SPEED MY FRIEND TILL WE MEET AGAIN, WE WILL HOLD YOU NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS. MY DEAREST FRIEND OH HOW WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO,

LOVE HUGS AND KISSES TO THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD,AND MY DEAREST FRIEND IN THIS LIFE TIME,
