Reflection….. To reflect, think and wonder… I sit here and I think over and over what I have seen in the last few months. Now I know that the mind works the way it does for a reason. The mind is kind and will only let you remember what you can handle. Then why is it my mind shows me my mother dying over and over? Maybe it is because I am trying to grasp an aspect of it. Is what I believe I saw and heard real? The patchiness of the hand as she starts to leave. The light tinge of blue that takes over. The death rattle. That final moment of her trying to get her last breathe, and her eyes….. her eyes…. Something happens in that final moment that I cannot grasp that has something to do with the eyes. Its almost like that startled look you get when you are suprised, or even as if you saw something amazing, or frightening? The eyes suddenly dialate and then go back to normal in that last breathe. But I know there is more to what I saw than just the body dying. I felt it. The words of the Lords Prayer flowed out of my mouth like real words not as if you are just saying a prayer… no… I meant every word, no one else in the room except my mother and myself and I was not aware until after I had spoken these words that a male voice said the prayer with me. Many would say it was shock, or I am even insane. I really do not care, I know that that truly happened for whatever reason but I feel the reason is becoming clear…. The reason, I believe, is almost like a cleansing before she passed on. That last prayer, that renewing the heart as is spoken in the bible. Our father, who art in heaven. / Hallowed be thy name. / Thy Kingdom come. / Thy will be done. / On Earth as it is in Heaven. / Give us this day our daily bread. / And forgive us our trespasses. / As we forgive those who trespass against us / And lead us not into temptation / But deliver us from evil. / For thine is the power and the glory forever and ever. / Amen. I am not a religious person, not at all, but the power for the first time of prayer was evident to me on this day. I find it hard to know my mother has gone but I have to live and have to keep breathing for now. I pray with all my heart that I will see her again one day. The thought of never hearing her voice again terrifies me. I will hold onto the hope I will see her again, and I will remember her forever.

There are probably many of you that won’t understand what I’m about to say, so for those of you that don’t love animals..you can politely just leave now and I will not be offended. I have two dogs, one is a Shih-Tsu and the other a Choc Lab. We lost a dog about 3 yrs ago, and It was very difficult then. Well, last night my little doggie was in discomfort and she eventually settled down if comforted. She is 14 y/o and has brought us many great memories. About a year ago she began to have problems with her vision and has progressively gone blind(nothing we could do). Each time her vision got worse she would freak out and then adjust so that’s what we thought was going on last night. / Well she laid down at some point in between my husband and I comforting her and she has not moved again. She is breathing, barely and I believe that she is trying to go to a better place. My husband is very very close to her because she was just all about giving him kisses constantly! I don’t know if any of you believe in prayer or communication with someone higher up, but I do and I pray that she will find solace soon so we don’t have to have her euthanized as we did our other dog. That was very difficult to say the least. I just needed to write about it and thought maybe ifI did this I would feel better…So far, I’m just numb and tears come easily, but with time I hope that I can treasure the last few moments I had with her. / [IMG]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/Angel312n/SuWanawwww.png[/IMG] Gail
