I have been slow to post on this blog of late and I feel I need to explain.
I am ashamed that, for a while, I neglected to check on my earthly ties, my late family. I guess I was I was too busy conferring with the Top Dog and his doggie angels about ethereal things. (They come to me quite often for advice and my opinion of things of importance)
One day, some time ago, a feeling came over me; a feeling of elation, but oddly, mixed with a feeling of foreboding. 'How can this be,' I asked myself? But I only had to wonder for an instant.
All of a sudden, there was a brilliant flash,-a bright light such as the one described by me in my last post.(as per CA's blog of a while back) I looked in amazement as a flawlessly beautiful body stepped out of that flash of light.
'This person looks familiar,' I thought to myself.
Then it dawned on me; this was the most wonderful person I had ever known on Earth; the only person to whom I had given my complete love and affection while I was in my earthly form; the person I had lived for; this was my Donna Lee dressed in a pure white Heavenly robe and she was here to visit me! It was wonderful!
I rushed over to her and she smiled her sweet smile and picked me up.(this was the first time I had been picked up since I got to Doggie Heaven where I am guarding the Small Doggie Lawn)She nuzzled my cheek and said, 'Chico, my Chico, it's so good to see you again.'
Her breath smelled sweet, just as I remembered it had and I smiled at her (the first time I had ever smiled) and my teeth were white and even! This was, indeed, wonderful!
I asked her how she had gotten here and she told me that the angels in the human part of Heaven had begun to fall down just a little bit in their singing duties so God looked around to find someone who could help and He decided the best one for the job was me. He sent an Angel for me and here I am.
I hated to leave my teddy bear but there was really no choice on my part. You know;-when you are called home, you have to go.'
Then, as she stroked my head, I felt a sharp pain pierce my heart and I yelped softly. In my minds' eye, I saw a man sitting at a computer, staring at the picture of the sweetest, most wonderful person who had ever lived; someone who was half of his life and I felt his profound sorrow that this person had been taken so soon; I felt his deep sadness,-his feeling of helplessness and aloneness there in a now bleak and cold world.
I felt a sob, a catch in my throat and wondered how this could be,-having a feeling such as this even in Heaven. Then I realized,- it wasn't me; it was the man at the computer and, for the very first time in 21 years when I first showed up there on Earth, I almost felt compassion for him; I almost loved him.
My Donna Lee must have known how I was feeling because she said, 'He'll be all right. I'll never leave him,-he knows that and it will help him survive until he and I are together again in a better place.'
Then she set me back down and said, 'It's been wonderful seeing you but I have to go now. My mother and father and, and my son, Barry and our daughter, Rebecca and Jims' mother, Grannie Bue and all the rest are waiting for me. I'll see you again one day and I'll have my teddy bear with me to visit you, too; and this time you'll like him.'
Then there was another and brighter flash of light and Donna Lee, my love, my Earthly mistress, was gone.
I anxiously await another visit from her,-even if she brings her other,-lesser half, her teddy bear, with her. It'll be worth it.
That is my explanation and I hope you will accept it and be happy with it.
Until next time,-Arf...
