beth's blog:


a tribute in loving memory to honey.

Published Aug. 19, 2008

 

THIS BLOG IS DEDICATED IN LOVING MEMORY TO HONEY, WHO I LOST ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, AUGUST 19TH, 2007.

 

A letter to Honey.

Honey, It's been one year since you broke my heart. I would give anything to have you back here with me. You brought me so much happiness. You slept with me every single night. As the years went by, you slept in, longer and longer, each day. Eventually, you'd sleep most of the day. I miss your taps. I miss your whining. I miss you waiting outside the shower, for me to get out. I miss seeing your leg prints on the bath mat, where you'd lay, while I took a shower.  I would always know by those marks, you had been there.

 

Sometimes, when I look in the backyard, I find myself trying to wish you there.  I would love to see you standing there, waiting for me.  You were such a gentle soul and you had the sweetest face.   Thank you for all the love you gave me.  I miss you so much!

 

Do you have any idea how much I miss you? This letter is for you and I want you to know I'll always love you. I even had postage stamps made with one of your pictures on it.  Did you know that I write you notes with chalk, on the sidewalk, beside where you are?  You wouldn't understand, but it's very therapeutic for me.  Today I wrote a note in chalk to you, it reads:  "Honey I miss you and I love you." 

 

Thank you for coming into my life. If only it had been longer. My heart is broken and I can't stop the pain. I love you. I love you. I love you!

 

HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR

My best friend closed her eyes last night,
  As her head was in my hand.
The Doctors said she was in pain,
  And it was hard for her to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,
  As I cradled her in my arms.
Were of her younger, puppy years,
  And OH...her many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
  With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears
  Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,
  And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
  HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

Do not mourn my passing
(Author Unknown)

Do not mourn my passing for if you could only see
by slipping all my earthly bonds, I'm young again and free.
By day I run the Heavenly fields, my body healthy and strong
At night I sleep at Angels' Feet, lulled by Celestial Song.
So do not mourn my passing, just close your eyes - you'll see
I'm once again that frisky pup, just as you remember me.

 

In very loving memory of Honey.

Good morning Beth. You wrote a beautiful tribute to Honey. I'm sorry you're still in such pain, you're in my thoughts...

Stella

Dearest Beth, Thank you so much for the beautiful tribute to Honey. You may remember from some of my previous posts that I may loose my baby Jake any day now so the tears are falling. I'm sure that you will see your baby again one day and be able to hold her in your arms forever. Until then you are holding her in your heart. My thoughts and hugs are with you.

Very wonderful B, and well done. You are a braver and better soul for posting it.

My beagle baby is 11 months and I am so crazy about her. I don't even want to think about losing her someday. But I know how you feel. I've lost pets before and while it is hard to deal with, I wouldn't have traded one moment with them for anything else.

AWE! What a SWEET blog Beth! I never did tell you but my ole highschool sweethearts family had a beagle that looked JUST like Honey named Lucky.

EVERY time I see Honeys pic I think of Lucky!

Beth, I am so sorry you are feeling this pain. I wish I could do something to take it away. But for the pain to go away, you would never have known your Honey. You know that song by Garth Brooks? The Dance? "I could have missed the pain, but I would have missed the dance"? I know you would never want to miss that dance, sweetie! I am crying with you as I sit here typing this heartfelt message for you. Just remember that she is waitng for you at that Rainbow Bridge. I wish I were there to give you a big old hug so you could cry on my shoulder, but this will have to do dear Lady. LYMI! {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}

I just went through my 5th anniversary of my doggie this april. It does not get easier to me. I have her ashes. My son knows that my and her ashes get strown together when my time comes...........

"Best friends can never be replaced, they are always remembered in our thoughts. May your best friend's soul rest in peace."

Sweet Girlie, I know how you feel. I'm very sorry for yuor loss. They say time heals all wounds, well, I guess it takes a very long time in some cases, when you have a best friend that loves you and you know in your heart that you can always count on that. I know your Honey was a very special girl. My thoughts will be with you!

I understand how a pet can be just like a member of the family. My pet is just like a third child. In fact, he even thinks he is the third child. Dogs are amazing, so incredibly smart and the perfect companion to man.
