Christmas Eve Morning 2007

[6greyhounds]

I received a phone call that my Son Al had passed away from that dreadful disease Cancer

 

Liz of Canada when she heard about it sent me this lovely poem and I have sent it to many people for the loss of not only a human but also a beloved greyhound. Recently I sent it to the Director of Medical Imaging where I work who is also my boss.

 

To all of you whether you have lost you beloved greyhound or a human please read and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me

 

 

My First Christmas in Heaven

 

I see the countless

Christmas trees

around the world below

With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,

reflecting on the snow

 

The sight is so spectacular,

please wipe away the tear

For I am spending Christmas with

Jesus Christ this year.

 

I hear the many Christmas songs

that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare

with the Christmas choir up here.

 

I have no words to tell you,

the joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description,

to hear the angels sing.

 

I know how much you miss me,

I see the pain inside your heart.

But I am not so far away,

We really aren't apart.

 

So be happy for me, dear ones,

You know I hold you dear.

And be glad I'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year.

 

I sent you each a special gift,

from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory

of my undying love.

 

After all, love is a gift more precious

than pure gold.

was always most important

the stories Jesus told.

 

Please love and keep each other,

my Father said to do.

I can't count the blessing or love

has for each of you.

 

So have a Merry Christmas and

Wipe away that tear

Remember, I am spending Christmas with

Jesus Christ this year

Rest well, Al.

This nearly has me sobbing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[6greyhounds]

Glad to share and if it helps one person then I have accomplished something

[tbhounds]

Consider it accomplished-- I know of a couple that really need to read this-- they lost their beloved kitty last week and are so very heartbroken.

I think if they read this it may help help their ailing hearts.

Thank you for sharing.
