tornadosgirl Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) My beloved boy, Tornado, is gone. We helped him to the bridge. Words cannot truly express my deep love for this wonderful creature that God gave us. Things Tornado loved: -Lying outside in the grass on hot, humid days -Walking the perimeter of the yard before doing his business -His cat, Jasmine, walking underneath him and tickling him with her tail -Going for a walky-walk to "The Sniffing Place" -Riding in the car Soulsmom brought his brother over for one last visit this morning and he loved that! This is one way I will remember him, running. This was taken on his tenth birthday: And a poem I wrote several years ago, after my cat passed. But I think these are Tornado's words too: Shed but one tear If you must. Let it slide down your cheek To dry upon your lips. Turn your lips upward Remember Joy, laughter, good times. Think of those past times With happiness. Let those thoughts Console, comfort, wrap around you. Never dwell on sad thoughts- Hold on only to happiness. Do not let grief consume you. Let your memories empower you To be strong and confident. Though you may be sad that I am gone Do not hold on to sadness My time for life came and it has gone. Let He who gives Eternal Life guide you And turn every grief filled moment in to Thoughts of everlasting life. For I am looking forward to that time When we will meet again.
