Uit ons leven maar voor eeuwig in ons hart...
From our lives but forever in our hearts...
Aus unserem Leben, aber immer in unseren Herzen...
May I Go Now?
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go
I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.
Orion oftewel Celtic Punk av Ljossalfheim, een schitterend kitten qua bouw, kleur en afstamming. Van hem had ik hele hoge verwachtingen. Om die reden hebben we bij zijn adoptie de mogelijkheid open gehouden dat hij als dekkater zou worden ingezet. Vlak voor kerst kregen wij echter een belletje van Marjorie dat het niet goed met ons moppie ging. Bloedarmoede en een bloedbeeld wat ook op andere punten afweek. Orion kon niet meer en is nu verenigd met zijn broertje.
Just before Chrismas we lost our beloved Orion (Celtic Punk av Ljossalfheim). Anemia and his other bloodvalues were not good either. Orion is now reunited with his baby brother. Roaming the happy hunting grounds.
Kurz vor Weihnachten wurde gesagt, dass Orion war krank. Er war für eine Weile etwas ruhiger. Seine Adoptiveltern dachten, es wegen der Winter war. Als er im Krankenhaus war, wurde er festgestellt, dass Anämie. Seine andere Blutwerte waren auch nicht gut. Marjorie und Bass haben ihn daher loslassen über die Regenbogenbrücke.
Cool Jazz av Ljossalfheim, zo mooi, zo lief, helaas mocht het niet zo zijn. Ons kleine ijsbeertje heeft een flink gevecht geleverd om weer gezond en sterk te worden. Bijna 3 dagen heeft hij in de kliniek in een zuurstofbak met antibiotica en sondevoeding doorgebracht en ging desondanks snel achteruit. We hebben hem dan ook rust gegund. Het enige dat we nog voor hem konden doen.
Cool Jazz, our sweet polarbear, he fought so hard and will be missed so much...
Cool Jazz, unsere süße, kleine Eisbär. Er hat so hart gekämpft. Leider ohne Erfolg.

Mieuw, oftewel Bora van Queen Noor, mijn eerste eigen Noorse Boskat en allerliefste vriendinnetje. Helaas mocht zij nog niet eens haar allereerste verjaardag vieren. Mieuw mijn lieve kleine schattebout werd gediagnotiseerd met natte Fip in een ver stadium zodat we slechts 1 keuze hadden.

I walk with you
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew ...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over and I smile and watch you yawning
and say "goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out . then come home to be with me.

I only wanted you
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
