A SPECIAL GIFT
Author Unknown

They're a very special gift; to be cherished and loved
You're chosen for each other; by God Himself above
It's a match made in heaven; so it can't be wrong
You're tied together by a bond; that's oh so strong

All they'll ever ask from you; is to be loved and fed
And at night make sure they have, fresh water and a bed
In return for so little; the rewards are so great
You'll get a companion for life; with some very special traits

When you are lost; and the end seems so far away
They'll walk by your side; they'll help you find your way
When life gets you down; they can put a smile on your face
As they run you in circles; with their fast pace

You'll share the good with the bad; you'll be happy and sad
And through it all you have a friend; the best you ever had
You're time together; will be special and unique
It will be as priceless to you; as a rare antique

Then before you know it; the day will arrive
When suddenly your life; takes a steep dive
The furry friend who's been with you for all of these years
Has now passed on; and left you in tears

As you sit and wonder; what did I do
Why is this all happening to you
Into each of our lives; a little rain must fall
And you must be strong; to answer the call

Your little one's spirit has flown home on the wings of a dove
To a special place that awaits them; in heaven above
St. Francis will meet them; when they get home
He will take them to a meadow; where they're free to roam

There in the meadows; down by the pond
Your furry friend will remember his loving bond
He'll look into the water; then you appear
He can see you're frightened; he can feel your fear

Through the bond that still ties you; from heaven above
He looks down upon you; he sends you his love
Because you loved him; and because you care
Whenever you need him; he'll always be there

There in the meadows; they patiently wait for the day
When you will celebrate your life together; each and everyday
Waiting for that day; when you come walking back home
When together for an eternity; through the meadows you'll roam

Love and Missed by Diane M. Espeseth

"Candy"

Our Westie, Candy was with us for a glorious 12 years.  She brought so much love and happiness, now that she's gone our hearts are broken.  Candy had such a special way about her.  She had an extraordinary "howl" bark that said hello, or let us know she wanted a "snackie".   Candy had a special stretch she would do that we came to call "the candy stretch".  For all the years she was with us, she gave her unconditional love and brought the joy she had inside of her to all of us.  We will never forget the wonderful times she brought to our lives.  

We will see you again, Candy Lee at Rainbow Bridge!

Loved and missed by  ~ The Stasion Family
