I knew that Merdie had made her...Hi Khyra and Mom. I knew that Merdie had made her Bridge journey but didn't know the circumstances until now. When you posted this I was in a 3 month stay in the hospital and still am trying to catch up.<br />We have been down this path so many times. So many of our Doggie friends that we never met in the fur but have loved just as much as they were our own, have left us.<br />Godspeed Merdie We know that Hamish, Sophie & Chance, Cody and all our other fur loves greeted you with loving open paws.<br /><br />I'm a firm believer, that we will see and be reunited with our animals who we have loved so dearly, here on Earth.<br />But I love hearing about the experiences of others, such as the below story, as it<br />re-affirms my beliefs. <br /><br />When I was a teenager of about 14 or 15, the dog, whom I had spent most of my life with, had just passed away. Being an only child, you can only imagine how much time I spent with this girl. I was heartbroken. <br /><br />At that time, I sang in the Church choir and was at a rehearsal, a few days after my Trixie passed away. My heart was not in it and my mind wandered as I kept wondering if I would ever see my beloved dog again. About half way through rehearsal, the Choir director called for a break, and everyone filtered out of the room, but to my surprise, he asked me to stay behind. <br /><br />He had noticed that I wasn't my usual happy self, and asked me if there was something wrong. I told him about the death of my dog and I asked him if he believed there were dogs in heaven.<br /><br />He comforted me and then ushered me into the Church Pastor's office, where the two men had a brief conversation before he went back to rehearsal.<br /><br />Pastor Evans then asked me to sit and then told me a story about when he was younger and new to the pulpit. ................ <br /><br />Seems there was an elderly man who had been quite ill for a long while. His wife, Martha, had asked Pastor Evans to stop by the hospital as she was sure her husband would not make it through the night.<br /><br />Martha sat next to her husband's bed and listened while Pastor Evans said a prayer. His breathing becoming more and more labored.<br /><br />Suddenly, the old man's face, which had not smiled in months, had a grin forming, from ear to ear, until he almost glowed with a warmth and love that you could physically feel in the room. He reached for his wife Martha's hand and squeezed it tight. Then he uttered his last words, here on earth. Words, Pastor Evans said, he would never forget.<br /><br />"Such a beautiful light." He sighed. "It feels so warm. And I see Jesus. He's smiling at me and saying, "Welcome home" .........and..........<br /><br />Oh my......... Martha .... Look! Our dogs! They are running out ahead of Him. They are all here and coming to greet me." <br /><br />With those words, he breathed his last and died with a smile on his face <br /><br />His dogs. His beloved dogs, were running ahead of Jesus. Running to meet and greet the man they so loved while here on earth.<br /><br />Martha later told Pastor Evans that she and her husband had lived on a farm, for most of their life, and her husband's passion had always been his 3 dogs. She even let out a chuckle and said there were times when she thought her husband loved their dogs more than he loved her. ........<br /><br />At the end of story, Pastor Evans turned to me and said he himself, had always wondered if the animals we loved and cared for here on earth, would one day re-join us in eternity. After witnessing the death of this old man, he said he never questioned that fact again, and that I should rest assured, that one day, I'll see my Trixie running toward me in happy greetings, also.Sheila and Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135729625488570448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872888605379007309.post-21857389992112761512013-07-03T10:52:08.045-04:002013-07-03T10:52:08.045-04:00I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
