Thoughts from Crow Cottage (My Main Blog.)
crowbelle's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Missing Willy MISSING WILLY I found this poem among a page of poems written by my former husband, Bill. For some reason, even though I knew he'd lost his beloved Willy, it touched me. For more of Bill's work, Click Here WILLY'S DEAD ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Wow. So many pets have come and gone thru my own life. I can remember some Bill and I had when we were together - pets who passed on, and it was heart-wrenching for us. It always is. They are only with us for such a short, short time. It doesn't seem fair for some reason - that they live but a handful of years... Bill and I had a cat named George Washington who had leukemia and died after he had lived only a year or two. It wasn't fair. We loved him so much. He came up to Massachusetts with us to our wedding, and he even got into our wedding photos! We love them all so much. My two babies (collie dogs) are sitting here next to me now, watching me write this, and wondering to themselves why I am crying... for Bill's dog. But more for Bill, because he lost such a wonderful and special friend - a part of his own being, because that's what a dog becomes - part of you! I think I'll go over and hug my own dear "fuzzies" right now, and tell them that no matter how many years we may have left together, I will try and fill those hours and days and years with as much love as I can pack into them - a promise I will make to them right now. God bless our pets, one and all. Cheers, Bex 1:18 pm - 25 October 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
