Is love alive on this winter's night?
As the icy wind howls, things cannot grow
beneath the winter snow
Love is buried far below
Like a distant star you cannot see
February never felt so wrong
You are not where you belong
Can you be my harvester of light
and send it out tonight
My words will be your light

My sweet angel girl, my beloved dog,
I had to let you go
and now I am left sad and all alone
You were a Valentine's puppy, ball of white fur
Remember the summer walks we would take?
Thinking of you makes my heart ache
When I took out my car keys, I can still hear you whine
because you never wanted to say goodbye
I remember your crestfallen face when I needed to scold
Do you remember your first snow?
You didn't want to come back in the house
because you loved it so
Angels will play with you now
And little girls and boys
You will bring them much joy
And when my time is near
I only want happy barks to hear
I'm glad you are now pain free
Please wait for me, Crystal dear

Rest in peace Crystal, love you forever
Until we meet again, my best and loyal friend
I had to put my beloved 18 year old dog, Crystal (Bichon Frise), to sleep on Saturday, February 7. She had a seizure/stroke on Saturday morning. It was totally unexpected and I am still in shock that I will never see her again. To make matters worse, my dog passed away on the anniversary of my brother Dean's death on February 7. Dean passed away in 2012.

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....

Who is winning?

Certainly not me

Let's hear it for the losers
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

I still can't believe you are gone
Hard to accept it, even after so long
We didn't always get along
and when we talked,
it would always go wrong
Why did you smoke for so long?
And now I am left all alone
You are my big brother and
I loved you like no other
I will never forget how your life slipped away from you
I would take your place in an instant if I had to
You are now always with me
You will be my guide and help me see
I must now let you rest
but, without you, my world is a mess
You will always be by my side
So this is my last goodbye

Rest in peace, Dean
Miss you, big brother
My brother, Dean, passed away 2 years ago. He died of heart disease caused by smoking.

It was all wrong, but the attraction was so strong
We didn't try, so we let it die
Your eyes sparkled and shined when they looked into mine
I miss seeing your face, but I must let it go with grace
I never did say goodbye because I knew
it would make me cry
Lost love.
