am back online, just sadder

[connie]

hello my friends,
my sister left this world this afternoon, but she gave the gift of life to a few before she left. her organs were donated and a few will live on because of her. the one who recieves her heart, may she know how tender a heart it is, so much love poured out of it.she left behind her husband, 5 kids, 8 grandkids and 3 new greatgrands. she will be very missed. my mom is taking it bad, we just lost my other sister last year.
anyway, i want to thank you all for your caring posts and prayers, it meant a lot to me and my family.
cricket is fine, in a horrible mood , he thinks i deserted him the last few days. i will pay for it, believe me, he's great on guilt trips! as i came home , i was so sad, depressed, but i opened my door to a loving, jumping miracle of a dog. after all the slurps and giddy excitement he showed, i had a smile return.
he is my strenght, i am only his human slave.
thank god for our pets, unconditional love wrapped in fur.!!
thanks again,
hugs,
connie and cricket

Dear Connie,

I am so sorry for your loss. This poem has given me comfort in the loss of my parents and my brothers. I hope it does the same for you. Prayers of peace for you.

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 softly falling snow,
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the field of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the grateful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom.
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing.
I am in each lovely thing.

So do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Love,

[Dianne]
