For Craig...........and shadow......March 30, 2009 @ 8:44pm
Dear Craig,
I am so very sorry to hear about Shadow. I realize he has been your friend for many years. You loved him. He knew that.

Not sure what to say at such times. You have a very large set of friends on the TME community that care about you and have very warm feelings towards you. So I thought that I would put together a slide show for you from “all of us”.


PS: Hope the community members don’t mind my putting their images in here

Consider this a bouquet of flowers picked from the “community garden”. With this, we send our love, comfort and warm wishes. These are some of the images submitted to the community over many months by the members. Look what you have created a house for![

Kiran was practicing this song today and it hit me…..this song is so applicable to you today. Shadow is back among us through the connected universe. Hope you feel it.

Take care
Usha

Usha, that was magnificent! I know Craig will appreciate this very very much. The song goes well with it, too. Thank you very much for doing this for him.

Hi Everyone,

First Usha thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Please tell Kiran I said thank you too.

You have no idea how much it means to me and how much all of these messages helped me to be sad today without being unhappy.

Shadow died in my arms which was a gift. It was also a gift to know it was his time to go.

The hardest part was leaving him after he died. No matter what I might believe about where he is.... saying goodbye to a dear friend is so difficult.

These are lyrics to a song I wrote about the passing of another good friend.... Rudy... Shadows brother.

I am posting them here tonight for my friend Shadow

I'll be alright when you go
It's not the end
I'll see you again baby I know

I'll be alright when you go
I'll have my friends
To see me through the traveling show

Nobody's taking my memories
My hope is still alive
But nobody's safe from the feeling
of saying goodbye

I'll be alright when you
Even when the tears fall
They'll leave like a spring thunderstorm

I'll be alright when you go
I'll be around
If you ever want to come back home

Nobody's taking my memories
My hope will never die
But nobody's safe from the feeling
of saying goodbye

I'll be alright when you
It's not the end
I'll see you again ... my friend.


With Love, Craig

Beautifully expressed, Craig. While reading it, I was reminded of all the pets - several dogs, a cat and a bird, that I've had to release over the years. I still miss them all. But I also believe I'll be seeing them again - sometime in the future.
