Dear LL Friends:
I have been in touch with Bern and she told me, with great grief, that Tashie made the decision to cross this morning. Bern thought her beautiful, big blue-eyed darling girl was doing better earlier today but when she upstairs to check on her later, she had crossed. Bern is not able to post right now but she wants everyone to know how thankful she has been for all the caring support. She will post when she is able.
We lit a Candle For Tashie to help her guide her on her way.
Mike, Gus, Gracie, Tobey, and I want you and Jim to know how heartbroken we are for you. Words cannot convey how deep our sympathy. We hold you all close in thought, in our hearts, in our prayers.
For Bern and Jim:
The Ridge by Carol Notermann
It’s been such a lovely summer, I’ve been napping in the sun.
This morning, other cats and I enjoyed a long long run.
We chased butterflies together. I climbed high into a tree.
And now I think what woke me up was that small bumble bee.
I’ve yawned and stretched, and still I feel that something has begun.
He’s standing there in robes of white, and telling me to come.
I always run to Him you know, when He comes across the bridge
To see if we’re all having fun and if we’ve checked the ridge.
He gives tummy rubs to all of us and pets and cuddles too
I’m glad to see Him every day, when He comes into view.
Each day He takes a different cat, and chats with them a while
Then off that kitty starts to run. I swear they seem to smile.
But now He’s stopped in front of me. He’s said a name I know.
He said to look out towards the ridge. The sun is setting low.
I start to walk out toward the ridge, and then what’s that I see.
IT’S YOU! IT’S YOU! It’s really you. You’ve come to be with me!
My goodness you are running and I am running too!
You stop to bend, but I can jump and now I am with you.
I feel your kisses on my head, as I did in long off days
You’re holding me and hugging me, and into your eyes I gaze.
And now He’s walking with us, as you carry me once more
We’ve crossed Rainbow Bridge together. We’re here at Heaven’s door.
And He has held it open, and told us to walk through
That from now on and forever, I can always be with you.
