| Ben 5/5/1998 - 4/30/2012 |
Today, April 30, 2012, I said goodbye to another dear companion. Ben picked a patch of clover in the backyard to lay down in, as was his habit in the last couple days. Each time, I lay or sat with him in the grass for awhile, petting him gently, letting him know he was a good boy, thanking him for being a great teacher, and that he would be with Molly again soon.
I am grateful to my friend, Sue (a vet), who came over to my home to free Ben's spirit.
There is a comfort in knowing that Molly was waiting for Ben...
And that they are together again.
Ben - You will always be our first love.
