Dog
Earlier in the month I wrote about the loss of my baby Maggie.
It was devastating to me and I wasn’t sure how I could ever
cope with the pain. I come here to read the stories and it helps me to
know that I am not alone. I came across a story titled “Lady Lucy”
written by a woman named Bonnie. I want to tell everyone including
her that I do believe and I do understand.
My Maggie loved squirrels. She adored them. Not a day went by that she
wasn’t sitting on the balcony or hanging out the window watching
her little furry friends.
Since her passing there has been an increased number of squirrels
near our home. We have lived here three years and we have never seen this
many squirrels. When we take our other dog out for a long walk
it never fails a squirrel will make an appearance.
I took it as a sign that Maggie is letting us know that she is near.
There is one particular day that brings a smile to my heart.
I was at the cemetery visiting the grave of my son.
He passed on when he was an infant so I always felt I
had my own special angel.
Anyway I go there from time to time when I need to get away from it
all and just sit there and talk to him. I was sitting there telling him how
much I missed him and Maggie and that it had not been easy for me.
I felt a calm feeling come over me and I look to my left and a squirrel
came down the tree and sat nearby with his eyes upon mine. I then
knew that both my angels were with me.
