♱ ♱ ♱ From Hogan to Mum and Dad ♱ ♱ ♱
My dearest Mum and Dad,
I'm just writing to say don't be sad, for having you as my parents I will always be glad.
I'm here in the land of a million treasures who's wealth in gold man could never measure.
The colour of the grass is a soft lush green.My friends and I live by a beautiful blue stream,where
the beauty of the flowers can always be seen.
There is no night, always day, it stays that way so we can all run and play.
There is no suffering, there is no pain, always sunshine, never any rain.
So you can see Mum and Dad this place called Pet Heaven where I stay, is a wonderful place for me to
wait until you collect me one day.
I have so many friends, we never grow old and a million stories of this beautiful place for now must
go untold.
Please don't be sad and please don't cry, it was only my body that had to die. It was tired and sore
and I could take no more. You did your best and then laid me to rest.
Don't be sad and don't feel blue, for now my work on earth is through.
I have seen the treasures of Pet Heaven and I'm happy for now that's where I'm living.
I will say goodnight now Mum and Dad, I love you both with all my heart and look forward to the day
when we will never have to part.
I'll wave to you from the Rainbow.
Your ever loving boy.

The day they laid you down to sleep
I prayed to the Lord; your soul he'll keep
Until the appointed day and time
when together we'll meet; and all will be fine
With all God's; creatures great and small
go run and play now, have a ball
No more aches; and no more pain
just bright sunshine; no more rain
Rest in peace; for now best friend
cradled in God's arms; to the end
Dream of that special; day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge; one last time
Although we'll be separated; for a long time
we'll be together then; and all will be fine
We'll cross Rainbow Bridge; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside
Once again then; all will be fine
we're together forever; till the end of time xxx

Hogan was our lovely gentle giant of a boy. He was the gentlest Bullmastiff anyone could have the
pleasure of being owned by.He was a registered Therapet and visited those who were unable to have
pets of their own eg.the sick the elderly and the lonely.He brought pleasure and love into the lives
of so many people.He brought a smile to the faces of all who met him.
Sadly Hogan was taken from us at the tender age of four years and six months by very aggressive oral
cancer which spread rapidly through his mouth,throat, and tonsils.It was unoperable and uncurable to
treatment,so to avoid further suffering we laid him to rest.He stole our hearts and when he left us
he took our hearts with him ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
He died as he lived everyones friend ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Forever young ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Mum & Dad miss you so much xxxxxx
I never speak with words, but your heart can hear me true. This is how I am made.
Remember when I came into your life? Did something in your soul come alive and open up to the calling in my eyes? How did you understand what I offered to you?
Somehow you knew something special was being offered and took it gladly, with a knowledge deep and sure that I would not betray you. I had no speech and yet you understood what I had to share with you.
I came to you as flesh, like yours, and as blood, like yours. Innocence is all I have against the confusion that the words of men can create, sounds that have the power to hide your inner grace from your mind. My eyes speak true with my innocence and somehow without logic you understand this.
My speech is of the heart. My speech is of the spirit. Words can lie. The pure soul shining from my eyes cannot, and the song of joy I sing with my body and with this, my life, will not.
We two have much to exchange without words in our time together. In the opening of our souls your soul opened to a depth of love like none you've ever believed was possible. This I give to you, for this is how I am made.
Flesh fails as does blood and we share this in our natures too. It may happen that my time with you is short and I must go ahead. Know then that the surest sign that you have received my gift in full measure is the inconsolable pain your opened soul feels. And when words get in the way of true understanding, and you cry "Why?", know this – I have gone ahead because I know the way.
Don't forget what we shared. Don't forget again what we together learned to remember, and what our spirits know without words. We have learned of love. In our empathy we have learned of all that we share in common which binds together all made of flesh.
If these lessons we've shared grow dim with time and you become confused at the end, do not be afraid. True as always my spirit will come for you. Safe within my loving embrace I will show you the way.
This is how I am made – an angel in spirit, an angel in flesh. This is what I am.

My Forever Friend
I know that it must be different,
now that I am no longer there.
I realize how much I was loved
and how all of you did care.
I know it will be hard at first
when you look around for me.
Expecting to find me in my bed
or beside my favorite tree.
Someday you will begin to see
although it'll take some time,
the happy times you shared with me,
the memories are yours and mine.
I'll remember you, my friends,
and how much you meant to me.
So please don't grieve and don't be sad,
it was just my time to leave.
*♥* MERRY CHRISTMAS TO A SPECIAL ANGEL IN HEAVEN *♥*

Thinking of you & your family this Christmas xxxxxxxx
YOU HAVE BECOME.......
You have become the wind,
that plays in my hair.
You have become the water,
that washes away my pain.
You have become the sun,
that takes away my tears,
you have become the shadow,
who gives me the power to fight with all my fears.
Now you are in heaven,
sleeping your endless sleep,
living your prettiest dreams
on a cloud so soft and so deep ....
By Sanja Temnik
The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
