Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

As it has been a great semester it has also been a tough one for me.  Many losses.  This post I dedicate to those no longer with me.  I'm lucky I'm basically a happy person, so I'm coping fine with all of what has happened, so not to worry.  I probably handle it better than some, but I don't particularly take death well, so I've decided it was important for me to say how I feel in their regards.  Thanksgiving just came and went and now Christmas is coming up, and I feel a little more thankful for my life here every day.

To Rachael:

I know you're in a better place, and I know you're looking down on all of us.  Thank you for helping to nurse me back to health this last summer when I was injured.  It doesn't seem fair that you had to die so young, but I know it's all apart of His plan for you and that you are in a MUCH better place.  You were a great and funny girl and I can't wait to see you one day again.

To Cousin Nonie:

Dearest Nonie, I've known you my entire life and it is sad to think that you're no longer here with us.  You blessed and touched my life in so many ways and I will always be thankful to you for that.  You are sincerely missed by so many.  I will always love and miss you, Nonie!

To Edward:

While this one is a little more comical because it's my pet fish, I kind of took it hard.  If you know me at all, you know that I have A LOT of compassion for all living animals... so naturally...

You were a great fish little Edward, survived by your mate, Bella.  I miss you more than people probably think and like the others, I can't wait to see you again.

To my dear, dear Rudy:

While I know you're not suffering or in pain anymore, I still wish you were here.  To some it might be ridiculous that I've shed the most tears for you, but you meant so, SO much to me.  It will be a real struggle to let you go.  I wish I could have been with you in the end and I'm sorry I didn't come around more often.  You were and will always be my dearest pet.  I will undoubtedly miss you more than you can ever know.  I love you dear Rudy and always will.

Until next time, on a happier note, I hope.
