Awwww, I feel so loved, thank y'all so much!
Truly, was just wiped out, yesterday @TessaandSamson posted for prayers and
told us Samson had been rushed in for symptoms (tests proved it so) of liver
failure of unknown cause. He'd had a scheduled checkup & bloodwork done just
prior to this and had checked out fine. Less than 24 hours later, Tessa & Dave had
to make that most terrible decision and did so. They recently married and have no
human kids so y'all can just imagine their pain~Samson was (I think) around 7 y/o.
Knowing this heartbreak myself, I bawled & prayed with them, when healthy one
minute and gone the next...it's almost impossible to bear the pain in your heart and
the sudden emptiness in your home and your life. M vet called to say my Brutus was
up and moving after anesthesia (to clean infected teeth) and was fine. Fifteen minutes
later, he was gone. Nothing can prepare you for that nor can any words help the one
suffering at that moment. They ARE remembered and help so much afterwards but at
that immediate death, you just shut down...except for how insanely your heart hurts.
Most of you know that just 5 months before Brutus died so suddenly, I lost my beloved
husband of 30 wonderful years and just 52. I got him to the ER and he collapsed at their
admittance desk and was gone, no time to say ONE WORD. They worked on him for two
hours but I knew he was gone. Because I said nothing and they were fixated on saving
him no one ushered me from the room just off the ER waiting area where about 150 people
watched him leave this earth. I always wondered (and hope) it made an impact on them to
understand how immediate is our time here and how you are gone in the blink of an eye.
It is LOVE not things, not money, not titles, not stuff, not ego (you get the picture) that is ALL
we leave behind, it is WHO we are and WHAT we do matters and that lasts. I was always a
high roller and lived a large life, some of the things I still have...I can tell y'all absolutely, NONE
of it means a danged thing...NOTHING. I'm just saying, Yes, we need homes, clothing & jobs
but don't let any of it kill you to acquire it, you really can't take this stuff with you.
Life is Short, spend time with your loved ones in Love, Faith & Harmony.
Once again wonderful insight Carol!! Hugs and love!
