So many lovely people have said that they will light a candle tonight for Harriet. Thank you all. It was on the 28th January 2005 that you finally wagged your beautiful tail for the last time when Jason came into the room to help you peacefully along on your journey to the Rainbow Bridge with a tummy full of Schmakos cos they were the only thing I could find in my confusion when we had made that dreaded decision. There we were waiting in that room, you, me, Larry and Rachel, not to forget Lottie who frankly looked a bit bored didn't she? Kept turning her back on us all. Rachel went out to ask for some water for you and you lapped it up. You were on your tartan bed and I held you gently and very quickly and peacefully you drifted away. Afterwards, it was difficult to tear myself away from your beautiful body but you weren't there any more were you, your light had gone somewhere else. I am so sorry that the horrid evil cancer got you, I wish it could have been different but you are whole again now.
You were my little rock, you were always there for me - when the ex thingy went off I really don't know what I would have done without you, you gave me so much comfort and you had a better life after he went anyway....you were five years old and suddenly you were allowed to do all sorts of things that you were never allowed to do before, like going upstairs and sleeping in the bedroom with me until that very last time on the 27th January, we knew it was going to be the last time didn't we? We would go for long walks on our own and I felt safe cos you were there with me: do you remember that time when we walked along the Severn on a winter's afternoon and had to turn back cos of the floods....ending up getting back to the car in the dark....that was a bit scary but you were there for me as you always were. You were there for Mum and me when Grandad went to the Bridge - he loved you so much, he would have let you do anything, when we visited you would sit on the sofa with him and watch the television......
We had some wonderful times you and me......I will always love you and treasure your memory until we meet again my special girl.....there will never ever be another like you.....run free on those four legs my sweet angel and have fun with all the other Bridge Babies .....Baillie, Zak, Scootie-chops (watch him!!! :wink: ), Cheekybun, Charlie (mind your legs!!!! :shock: ) to name but just a few.........
And here is the beautiful drawinig which Karen Scott did of Harriet, isn't she clever, she has done Harriet proud!
I really hope that everyone will add their own messages to this thread for their own little ones who have gone to the Bridge and we will remember them all and light the candles tonight.
