What to say?

Yesterday was a hard day. Alexis was feeding Princess a treat and started to call for Tazzy. I did not say anything till she asked. I told her that Tazzy's mommy and daddy wanted her to come home and she was gone. Then she asked if she was coming back I said no. You would not believe the way her face crumbled and she broke down crying. It was so sad. She is taking it really hard. This morning when she got up she told me she was mad at me for letting Tazzy go. I have been able to not cry myself when all of this is going on but on the way to dance she asked me to call Tazzy and tell her she needs her to come home, she was asking me if she was in the clouds like Mother Ny, I explained yes and they are taking care of each other and God needed her help. I was glad to be wearing my large Jackie O glasses so that she could not see the tears welling up in my eyes. She is very upset and keeps asking me to call God and tell God we need Tazzy back. What a hard thing it is to try and explain Tazzy is gone and not coming back without upsetting her further.

You are doing great just keep telling her what a great place it is and how Tazzy is watching over her. This too shall pass.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear.
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wished I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care
I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said 'It's me.'

You looked so very tired and then you sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday
To say to you with certainty , 'I never went away.'

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew
That in the stillness of that evening I was very close to you.

The day is over ... I smile and watch you yawning
and say , 'Goodnight, sweet dreams, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide
I'll rush to greet you and we'll stand together side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there's much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out, then come home and be with me.
