Guest paulownedbyfour Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Reading this brings tears to my eyes. I am glad we got to see him one last time while at the farm last week. Donnie and Tippy will get a extra hug tonight. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there... I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow... I am the diamond glints on snow... I am the sunlight on ripened grain... I am the gentle autumn rain. When you waken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of gentle birds in circling flight... I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there... I did not die... WITH ALL OUR LOVE Paul, Anthony, The Comanche and Rebel Kidds Donnie and Tippie, Gandolf, Ethel, Trace, Nite, Carl, Jasmine and Ruka. Maybe he was waiting to let you know until his kidds were in there happy home. Edited September 2, 2010 by paulownedbyfour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RedTigerJazz Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 [/img] I love this picture. It really shows how happy Rebel was on the farm. And despite the fact that he was much thinner than this when I saw him in the spring he was so obviously this happy still. We'll miss seeing you the next time we visit the farm, Rebel You were/are loved. You and Miss Comanche. Run pain free, beautiful boy. ~Lisa, Steve & Miss Nightmare~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex95lucy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Oh, my dear sweet Rebel. I knew the time was coming but it is still so painful. I so remember your antics..... running like the wind, fighting and conquering the groundhog, ( and tending to your wounds from that!), rooming for so long with your darling Polly, you two were such an adorable "couple". You so loved to roam the meadow, to greet all who visited. It was hard to watch you slow down, your eyes growing cloudy, your legs a bit wobbly at times But you were still so attentive to all that went on, so intent on knowing everything that happened around you. I lovingly made adjustments to make your life easier, changing your door to a flap, building up the step into your house with wheelbarrows of soil so you would not stumble. Your body was wearing out, but your spirit was strong to the end. 06/18/98 - 08/31/10 Rest in peace my dear sweet Rebel. Find Polly and Comanche and roam those beautiful meadows together. love, sue Edited September 7, 2010 by dex95lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
