Why does our little friends stay with us such a short time?  To teach us to be, to FEEL human.  Loss is part of the human state.  We must learn to enjoy every moment, to celebrate every victory and to grieve every loss.  If we can't, we aren't living a full life, we are hiding from life.

It brings us together and lets us cry together.  The world's oceans are salty because we humans cry salty tears. Also because we never cry alone. Grieving is part of life. So is joy, friendship and laughter. Don't forget the others when you're busy doing one.

I can grieve and laugh at the same time, thinking of my Chi. She could be funny,loving and poignant at the same time. I miss her, but I also know I'm only a heartbeat from joining her. In the space between sleep and awaking are all the family I've lost and she's just one of many.

Dance and love while the music plays, for eventually we all sit out some next dance. ^__^V,,

I cannot save the world. Only my little piece of it. If we all act together, we can save the world.--Nelson Mandela
