ROSIE, OUR LITTLE YORKIE DIED YESTERDAY

There was sorrow in the house all day yesterday. Rosie was in the road when Alexandra and I were returning from doing some shopping late in the morning. She was so happy to see us that she ran right into the car. Alexandra was grief stricken and crying hysterical. Jan postponed his grief until the night when the tears just came flooding out of him. Then in the night I awoke to his sobbing.

We lit a candle last night and said prayers for Rosie. The vet said that we would have her ashes in four days. I hope to have a ceremony outside. I want to paint a stone with her name on it and some heartfelt thoughts. I would like to set it in the ground as a permanent marker for us to remember her by.

If anyone has lost a beloved animal please share your insights and prayers with us.
