a special tribute part 4 (final)
it only seemed fitting that k leave us being held in the arms of the person he was the closest to.
he raised his head and looked up into the eyes of my youngest son, now 22, and feeling comforted took his last breath.
Thanks Gretchen! He is so cute and so different from my other lab! He does some of the cutest and funniest things and you can't help but laugh! He is a handful and wants to play constantly. Also, I'm not used to a black dog...I could see always find my other dog, even at night, but this one is like a shadow...his eyes glow green in the night! We named him Neo, after the Matrix character....and he's already doing back flips, so I think he's got the right name!

Sammie...so sorry for your loss!!! It really is like losing a family member.
What's sad to me is that he reminded me of my husband sometimes, personality wise, and they both died of cancer! Is that weird? For some odd reason his death was another closure with my ex. It's hard to put into words...anyway, it brought back painful memories as well as created fresh ones.

The hard part was to realize we had to go on living without our dear friend in our lives everyday. My son and I grabbed each other and sobbed and we kept holding and kissing K, trying to will our brains to remember how he felt to the touch of our hands. I especially remember holding him in my lap as a puppy, something he never outgrew. Just that day as I had sat on the floor he decided he wanted to sit in my lap…all 95 pounds.
We took him home and buried him in a beautiful field, knowing that he would like the openness and freedom it presented. My 2 sons and I spoke about what K had meant to each one of us during a candlelight ceremony. We all put something special inside for him to remember us by.
None of us could seem to get over the empty spot now in our lives and when I saw my 2 grown sons grab each other and sob uncontrollably, I knew I had to do something drastic. It was the week before Christmas and I thought about doing something that would help the world out just a little. I asked my oldest son to go to the dog pound with me, just to look and see if there were any puppies that desperately needed a home. We walked in and immediately found one that caught our attention. We called my other son to come check him out and as soon as he was in his arms, there was no letting go.
No dog will ever replace K and we didn’t want to try to do that. Instead we opted to help the community and in doing so we are reaping the rewards. This puppy doesn’t have papers and doesn’t come from a royal bloodline, but he’s a great dog, too. He brought laughter back in the home, something K was always fond of.
K taught us some wonderful lessons in life…the greatest of these being unconditional love. He will forever live on in our memory.

there is and always was a lot of suffering in the world since the beginning of history, so who is to blame?
is it a god that doesn't care or a mankind that refuses to be reconciled with god and through that find salvation?
I vote we blame it all on BUSH!!!

i found this particular article in the 'questions from readers' section of the april 15th 2006, watchtower, incredibly shallow and non specific.
it did not define what a jw was to consider a 'demon attack' and could well explain why the average jw considers their car breaking down, on their way to fs an out and out attack from satan and his deemunz!.
the question was:.
I have never been harassed by demons. I have, however, seen and heard a couple of things that I can't explain and I can't forget. Of course, it never happens around anyone so that you can prove anything. So there will always be those who have never had contact with something unexplainable and those that believe there is something else out there because they have seen it. This controversy will continue for a long time I'm afraid.....
TS--I know of a couple of people who said they wished they had never opened the door...it has caused a lot of anquish in their lives. Don't ask me how to open or close it...I don't know.
When I was visiting Sedona Az, there were a ton of "old hippies" that hang out in the desert there. They claim to contact something when they go walking around in the desert for days. It was kind of weird to talk to a few of them...had some strange tales to tell!!! It's a popular spot apparently for getting in touch with "spirits." Any one from Arizona care to comment???

two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.
it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.
i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.
So sorry for your loss...and for your family's treatment!
