R.I.P My Precious Madda...

[fannie]

I'm so very sorry... I just can't imagine how bad you're hurting. ((hugs))

[JeanieK]

Cindy I am so sorry. I had so much hope that she would get better. I'm so glad you got to see her one last time.

We all share your pain.

May the Lord give you the strength to get through this.

I am soooo sorry. thats just terrible. you did all that you could for her. Im crying with you. HUGSSS

[JCarlson2004]

I had to post again ... I am so sorry Cindy. I just got off the phone with Gina and we were both crying. I can't believe little Madda is gone. The only comfort I can offer is that she's in a better place. And know that you gave her a wonderful life. She was spoiled, happy and loved. You were a great mommy to her.

Whenever I am feeling really low about losing my precious Katie (which is very often), I read these 3 poems.

Dedicated To Madda … Rainbow Bridge's Newest Angel

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush;
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

I don't know the name to this poem but it's very touching.

I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly
As you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine. Mommy, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times,
Your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you,
That I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house,
As you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired,
And sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know,
That I was standing there.

It's possible for me,
To be so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."

You sat there very quietly,
Then smiled, I think you knew…
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.

The day is now over…
I smile and watch you yawning,
And say, "Goodnight, god bless,
I'll see you in the morning."

An when the time is right for you,
To cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you,
And we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you,
There is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out…
Then come home to be with me.

Oh, Cindy, I just saw this. I didn't know. I am so very sorry you lost your little angel. I know your heart has a big hole in it and there is nothing we can really do to help. But many of us do know the pain you are feeling from the loss of little Madda. Please try to be strong though, because you have Gizmo who needs your love, too.

God please bless this family and please send them all your love and support.
