The Memory of a companion

By Ivan Budimir | October 11, 2010

The Loss of a loved one or the passing of a special friend is traumatic and life changing event. Although we know that death and tax’s are inevitable, you can at least celebrate the memories of your loved companion who gave you unconditional everlasting love, and setting them in stone is one way you can celebrate their life.

Whether you have a plot or even just a special spot in your garden, they can be remembered forever and continue to have a presence in your heart.

Celebrating their life with a monument, memorial or even just a portrait is a great way to create peace and closure to their passing.

I recently found a poem that will be close to my heart as my companion Bailey recently passed, even though Christmas is still very far away.

Christmas with out my Dog

The tree is all trimmed.
The gifts are all wrapped.
The hymns are all sung,
Ant the travel plans mapped.

And still there’s a sadness
That lies in your heart,
For a dog that was lost
And a love now apart.

A stocking is missing,
With toys and a treat.
A lap is now empty,
A space at your feet.

Yet remember this season
God’s small gift to you,
Wonderful memories
To treasure life through.
