Have you known someone this life-time
That was here and now is gone?

Miss me a little—but not too long
and not with your head bowed lo...

Our cat Willie (or Sir William as he preferred to be called) left us today. He was 17 years old and I always referred to him as my big guy. He was a big guy weighing almost 16 pounds.
Willie was the first cat we ever owned. My husband never liked...

I would start by saying I have seen both peaceful and sorrowful deaths. I have seen loved ones slip out of this world with a smile on their face and peace in their eyes, as well as sorrowful screaming and trashing about their beds calling for some...
