That hit a nerve.
I lost my beardie Squiggle just before Christmas and reading that just made me sob my eyes out.

This one is one of my favourites:

"We who choose to surround ourselves
with lives even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle,
easily and often breached.

Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

- Irving Townsend

No matter how much I know it will hurt when I lose the nonhuman members of my family, I would never choose NOT to share my life with them.

That, and:

"Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die."

I can't read that without bawling.

Every single time I read this part of the forum... I'll never learn.

OMG all of those poems really hit the spot. Still think about my cat (sweep) that died last year and still cry sometimes abut it. Worse thing that got to me was my mam went out and bought two new kittens and replaced her it made me feel like she didn't care.
