| On Tuesday, November 4th, I saw Punkin for the last time. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. We sat together on the steps- she was very sick. I decided it was time to let her go. I had the office door open so that she could enjoy the warm weather while I called the vet. The last time I saw her, she was sitting underneath my car, looking out over the fields to the west. The sun was shining on her and the breeze rustled her fur. When I came back, she was gone. I can't find her- she had her collar and tags on, but no one has called. That is why I believe that Tim and Punkin are..... |
| I love and miss you guys; my friends for so long. Life is so different without your quiet daily presence. I'll never forget you. Love, Lisa November 12th, 2003 |
| Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin I feel you come back again And it's like you've never been gone one moment from my side, Like the tears were never cried. Like the hands of time are holding you and me. And with all my heart I'm sure, we're closer than we ever were. I don't have to hear or see, I've got all the proof I need There are more than angels watching over me. I believe, I believe. That when you die your life goes on It doesn't end here when you're gone. Every soul is filled with light It never ends and if I'm right: Our love can even reach across eternity. Oh I believe, I believe. Forever you're a part of me. Forever in the heart of me. And I'll hold you even longer if I can. The people who don't see the most Say that I believe in ghosts. And if that makes me crazy, then I am. "Cause I believe. There are more than angels watching over me. I believe. |

| It's spring now and everywhere I look I'm reminded of you, Punkin. The way you would follow me out to the gates. The way you would lay in the grass and I would tickle you. Memories that were fresh, are now starting to fade. It's hard for me to let you go. I have so much guilt for not spending time with you after Sarah came. I know that you understand, but I wonder if you didn't leave because of that. I wish you hadn't of left the way that you did. I wish you hadn't left that way either, Tim. Maybe you both thought it would be easier for me that way. I still miss you both everyday, especially when the sun sets, and the gates are closed, and the breeze blows on my face. I close my eyes and just for a minute, I can see you both there, right where you are supposed to be. Love, Lisa May 13th, 2004. |
| Now it's fall and the leaves are starting to fall from the trees. Fall is always a little bit lonely for me, but this is my first fall without you, Punkin. You used to follow me everywhere. You just wanted to be close to me. I miss that. I wonder if you miss me. It's been almost a year since you went away. I still regret not spending more time with you...I hope that you won't forget me before we see each other again. I hope that I'll still be the special person that you're waiting for at the Bridge. Be patient in waiting for me, you and Tim. It will be a while before I get there. I really miss you guys, especially when these brisk breezes blow. Love, Lisa 10/14/04 |
| As long as we have memories, yesterday still exists. I remember your face, your feel, your touch. You are still here. Love, Lisa |
| One more day, one more time. One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied. But then again, I know what it would do...leave me wishing still for one more day with you. -Diamond Rio I miss you both very much. Love, Lisa |
| The other night it was late, and Sarah and I were watching the fireflies as the sun went down. It was getting pretty dark, so mostly we could only see the light of the fireflies. But as I looked up at the darkening sky, I saw a dragonfly silhoutted against the fading light. It was lacy and soft and light in color. And then there were two, flying carefree together. And I thought, for just a minute, that maybe it was the two of you, come to pay a visit. If it was, thank you. Thank you for not forgetting me. I will always return the favor. I'm lonely sometimes still...for the two of you. Love, Lisa 8/22/05 |
| I thought for a minute tonight that maybe I was crazy for keeping this webpage up. Like maybe I should just let it go. But I don't think I can let it go. Maybe it's not "normal" to miss your pets for this long after they've left. But I still miss you guys. I can't help it. ~Lisa 12/9/05 "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban Who can say for certain...maybe you're still here. I feel you all around me...your memory's so clear. Deep in the stillness...I can hear you speak. You're still an inspiration...Can it be? That you are my forever love and you are watching over me from up above? Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant stars I wish upon tonight to see you smile...if only for a while-to know you're there A breath away's not far to where you are. Are you gently sleeping...here inside my dream? And isn't faith believing...all power can't be seen? As my heart holds you...just one beat away I cherish all you gave me everyday. 'Cause you are my forever love watching over me from up above. And I believe...that angels breathe, and that love will love on and never leave. Fly me up to where you are beyond a distant star I wish upon tonight to see you smile...if only for a while-to know you're there A breath away's not far to where you are. I know you're there. A breath away's not far to where you are. |
| Dear TIM and PUNKIN, It's been so long since you've been gone. About a month ago, I knew it was time to let you go. I've been fighting it. I don't want to. But tonight, when the sun is setting and the breeze is blowing, I'm going to say your names one last time, and let the wind carry it away. So that you can be at peace. And so I can be at peace. You will always be a missing part of my world, but I can't force you to stay when you should be free. I don't want my tears to keep drowning out the light of your candle in heaven. I know you love me. I know you want to be with me. But where you are now is so much better than it ever was here. I know that, and I understand that. So, I'm letting you go because I still love you both so much. Goodbye...until we meet again. ~Lisa 4/26/06 |
