For Shilo ~ Go Safely
Into the sadness and smiles of our memories
We lay you down
Into the cycle of living and dying and rising again
We lay you down
May you rest in peace, in fulfillment, in loving
May you run straight home into God's embrace.
Into the freedom of wind and sunshine
We let you go
Into the dance of the stars and the planets
We let you go
Into the wind's breath and the hands of the star maker
We let you go
We love you, we miss you, and we want you to be happy
Go safely...
Godspeed,
SHILO
Fly free in
the Love and Light
and let your us know you got safely Home, little one.
In memory of SHILO'S LOVE, I want to thank all of you
who have responded to my plea for help during this
terrible loss.
Each of you have helped me so very much. Knowing that I have all of you for
support has made such a difference.
SHILO was a very special, "special needs" lil gal. Don and I were very
blessed to have had her in our lives for 7 wonderful years.
Our precious SHILO gave us so many wonderful memories. She fought hard to
live her 7 years, and I KNOW THAT SHE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH US. She had
wonderful vets and caregivers that loved her, too.
YES, WE MISS HER. EVERYWHERE I LOOK I REMEMBER HER. AND THEN I DWELL IN THE
LOVE SHE LEFT TUCKED DEEP INSIDE MY HEART. Tonight I sat quietly leaning into
HER OH SO SPECIAL LOVE. and the fear of learning to live a life without
her.....went away.
I know I am going to have some really bad times ahead.....but I just wanted
all of you to know....that for now I am doing ok.

I know we have to accept God's plan for us.....but I wasn't ready to let you
go. You were so full of life and loved it so.....
Rest my dear
friend, until we meet again...

Trudy and Don and Shilo, I
have you all in my prayers. Becky Moyer
Sigh. The people who are
out there who are just "pet owners" simply cannot
understand how we (as dog
lovers) feel when we lose one of our beloved family
members. We lost our son, my only child, the Friday
before Father's Day 1997. Howard had lost HIS father
just the year before on Father's Day.
We both felt as if a part of our heart's had been torn
out.
And yet, when we almost lost our little Nina last
month we felt it just as strongly. There were times I felt like I couldn't
breathe I hurt so much...
And yet these are the times when you surround
yourself not only with God, but with the strength and unity and support of
others you know feel just like you. Those who understand your pain and your
panic and can give you, just from their presence, the strength you need when
you need it. It never entered my mind last month when I wrote for support that
Nina was a Chi and not a Pug. I never once doubted that I would find support
there.
I am so glad Trudy has this kind of fellowship to
help her when she needs it most and I feel truly blessed as well.
