Today was one of those days
one of those unexpected days
of mixed emotions
and
of a long awaited decision making
(12 years to be exact).
~
So we headed down to the river
at our very, favourite spot
which uncannily was
JESSIE'S
favourite spot to swim.
Jessie was my
SWEET SOUL SISTER
who
LOVED
my guys like I do
and
LOVED
to swim in this spot along the river.
Stories have been bandied about
that she was so well-trained
so obedient
so lovable
so short-haired
so on the ball
lived to be 14
that it took quite a few years
to get to this point
of closure.
The handmade
hand painted container
was pried open.
The bag inside was untied
and
the tipping began ~~
Jessie's ashes were being spread
at the exact spot where she would enter the water and swim.
Sometimes she would stay in the river
and
float down stream
arriving safely along the banks
not far from this spot.
Jim and Jessie
were an item
just like
Jim and myself.
Jessie will forever be a part of her river and rocks
as the tide flows out to sea ~
So to keep the tradition moving along
I swam out into the river
to save
Mr. Orangie
and
feel Jessie's presence ~~
We finally did it Jessie!
You would be so proud of us!
