Stormy by Rachel

Stormy’s Wish:

Remember me as “Happy and thrilled”: leaping to catch a bouncy ball and fetching it back to you to watch and wait for another throw.

Remember me as “wild”: shanghai-ing the old dog as he ran through the hall grapevining his ankles and bringing new life to him for about a year with crazy wrestling matches (that I always won of course).

Remember me as “reverent”: sitting up to press my paws together move them up and down in “prayer.”

Rememember me as a “constant companion”: walking with you in the yard on my harness never leaving the room you were in when you were home sleeping every night in bed with you on my little leopard pillow at the side of your pillow.

Oh and remember me when you crack an egg and beat it in a cup. For you know how I loved that most of all!

Dear friend I know you
still feel sorrow
I wish I could be
with you today and tomorrow
You honor me
with memories spoken
Therefore our connection
will never be broken!

Rachel
