Connie, that was really nice.

hi karen. i am truly sorry to hear of your losses of your special little loves. my heart breaks for you and i understand the terrible pain you feel. i shared this poem here because i do really feel that nikas spirit is with me everywhere and i know she lives on in my heart. i know she is smiling down on me and her furfamily thats still here, as i am sure that your 3 are as well. we miss her so much. ill never forget the special way she touched my life, i'm sure you understand completely. i know my little angel nika has some very special angel friends at rainbow bridge and is in good company untill we meet again and that helps comfort me too.
i am very happy that you and dudley found each other, it sounds like it was totally meant to be. you both needed each other and now you both have a new love in your lives. the legacy of your love for your other babies will live on in the love you share with dudley. i feel the same way about my little pixie i adopted from a humane society last october. she was born in a puppy mill and was in a cage for the 1st 4 1/2 months of her life untill i adopted her. thankfully she has adjusted to everything very well. she is a great little girl and has bonded great with nika's mom zowi. i'm glad the poem offered you some comfort. take care of yourself and dudley! i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. sending you & dudley a hug! ~ carrie

tears are actually falling down my face reading this :( makes you think about your own pets youve lost over the years :( x

What a beautiful poem. My deepest sympathies to those who have lost their dear fur companions.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. I, too, am sorry for all of the losses of everyone's precious angels. Physically, my girls have left, but I can always feel their love surrounding me. Ashley's blanket sits on the pillow right next to us after almost a year, and some of my little girls' favorite toys remain as if they were here. Although it's still very painful, I'm glad that the feelings remain so strong. The powerful bond can never be broken, even in death, and the beautiful memories and the infinite love will forever remain a part of me. I know here on YT that people understand this love connection and the great loss that is felt when our babies can no longer physically remain with us. Without a doubt, though, they never leave us; their presence and love helps to sustain us and to carry us forward to live on without them.

so true... the memories of my precious little nika are with me every day. i feel her presence in my heart constantly and i know that it always will. i too have some of nika's belongings around as if she's still physically here. love is forever and will never die. i will always have a void from losing her but it's comforting that our memories will always be in my heart and mind. i know she will be with me always in spirit and she's smiling down on me watching over and i will always feel that love from her, even though she's not here for me to see anymore. love this poem because it is truly how i feel her with me in a way that we will never be seperated. i know they never do really leave us because we keep them in our heart in their own special place there. thanks for posting and understanding, as always. we are so lucky to have you here on yt. you have always been there with kind words and so much understanding and i can't thank you enough!!!

I am so glad you shared this poem. I was able to send it to a dear friend who just had to put down her best friend of 13 years. It truly helped me convey my feelings to her and said it so much more beautifully than I ever could have. Thank you.

Thank you for this beautiful poem. Before I had my Yorkies I had 2 cairn terriers that passed away at age 14, i still think of them often.

i'm glad the post and poem helped you comfort your friend in her loss. it is so difficult without our fur companions, and having someone understand what you're going through is very comforting. i truly hope that it helped her and i'm glad you shared it.

I came back here to find this poem. I remembered it so well and she just lost a beloved friend. I think it will bring her comfort. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you so much for the poem.

Just beautiful...thank you. It touches my heart and helps me know. when I close my eyes...yes, I can feel my past loved pets. They are forever in our hearts.

thanks everyone for the sweet comments. it has been just over 18 months since nika has passed. i miss my little angel so much. it's so hard to believe, sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday. i'm glad that this poem has helped others dealing with their beloved pets passing. thanks for bumping it back up. this poem stuck out in my mind so much and does comfort me by reminding me my girl is always with me in my heart and her spirit is very much still with me and always will be.

Crying again...I miss you Paris.
