God's Hands - Single by Hajjii | Spotify

“The song is ended but the melody lingers on.” Quote By_Irving Berlin
Its time to turn the page and to end this chapter, let all the long years of love hide away; safe in my heart and soul for all of my days left, it was sad to say farewell to my pet. Lots of buried memories of those who died came, of other pets, of my mom, dad, grandma; of my baby, my love, and my sister, of family and friends washed over me again. I have been so sad these past days with tears falling, but, I am coming to terms with it now; God gave me this kitty to love and to cherish, when she got sick he took her to heaven. Time for me to recover and to be better, to fill my days with good work and good deeds; and be the best I can be, healthy, and beautiful, to be an inspiration to others. Yes, time to recover from all the grief of deaths, it is not forgetting but moving on; each person, each pet lives on in my heart always, and will until the day God takes me home. So, I am putting my faith in God- he is the gift, I will take his hand and he will lead me; he knows the best way that I must go in this life, and he will be holding me in his hands.

to hold on so much is divine dear friend, 'still water runs deep' they say, it is divinity to stay calm and composed. Stay blessed my friend. Inspire us all.

I feel the anguish, the pain, of losing a loved one in this piece. But I also feel the courage, the confidence, to move on. My best regards, dear friend.

That second verse says much! I thought about your history when I read your blog. Even losing my young at heart Mom at 82 has been in my face impactful. Closing my eyes while I give you a silent hug. Love ~ Kim

Kim, agree, sometimes all the deaths just overwhelm a person, and you think I cannot take one more, then it happens, thank you for the hug, needed that, love Constance
