Two years ago, this date, at 11:04AM, by my watch,
 your precious soul left this world for a "better place" I was told. What these past two years have been like for me is hard to describe...I miss you more than words can ever say. This is so true my little girl...so far I haven't been able to say my final "goodbye"..
You remain such a big part of my life and my heart aches
 every time I think of you, which is daily, and tears flow freely.
You may be gone but yet your presence is always with me,
 in my heart and in my soul.
Thank you my little girl for the precious gift you sent my way...Jessie!
I know one day we will be together again...until then......

So long my sweet precious little girl
I LOVE YOU!
mom

Misty went to Rainbow Bridge June 19, 1999
 

The following poem was sent to me by the author, on June 13, 2001, after she visited Jessie's page...this is part of what she wrote to me..
included with her permission:

"I loved what you wrote about Misty on Jessie's page and how you were concerned about dishonouring her memory by getting another dog and then you felt as though she has sent you a message and said it was okay and she would be proud for you to get Jessie!!  I cried when I read that, it reminded me so much of a poem I had written. I thought you might like a copy,
 so I did a little bit of rewriting and changed a few names around."

Thank you Simone for such a beautiful poem

I'm Sure She Would Approve

Let me wallow in my sadness, for I've lost my one true love,
And I do feel that I cannot go on, without my angel dove,
She was a spirit oh so heavenly, she loved me just for me,
There's not a human on this earth, that made me feel so blessed and free.

So let me shed the tears, I need to cleanse the hurt that chokes my heart,
For I just cannot bear the thought that we will always be apart,
Her spirit follows me where e'er I go and still I call her name,
Please help me, for I fear forever, I will feel this aching pain.

I want to hide my thoughts from others, I don't think they understand,
They whisper when they see me crying, as I walked this sullen land,
I try to smile and think of good times, but the sadness overtakes,
And once again the tears begin to flow, just like the giant lakes.

And then one day while I am walking on the path we used to take,
My eyes they meet a little fellow, eager for a friend to make,
He barks at me to pick him up, a woman comes towards the fence,
She smiles and tells me it was meant to be, my pain she seems to sense.

And then the puppy licks my hand and soon before I've time to think,
A smile begins to purse my lips and darkened thoughts begin to sink,
You can't replace the one you've lost, but I have found a friend to soothe,
That needs me just as much as Misty did, I'm sure she would approve.
