Goodbye My Trusted Friend

Today marks a very sad period in time for us.Our dear dog Muffin went to be with Jesus today.We have no doubt Grandma Dolly was there to greet her with a big piece of cheese.
Muffin was there for me on many mountainous occasions.
Earlier today Ryan stated “she was my excuse to get you out of the house for a walk at Island Park so I could ask you to marry me”
“she sat by your side while you rested on the couch for those long months while pregnant”
So many memories – so little space.

She always liked to catch a ride with the girls.

Two songs play over and over in my head today....
I’ll give you two powerful sections, the full songs will be below if you’re not familiar with them.

This first one from Avalon:
For as long as I shall liveI will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall liveI will testify to love

The second song from Terry Jacks

Goodbye my friend it s hard to die
When all the birds are singing In the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I ll be there
We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were
Testify To Love
All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
For as long as I shall liveI will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall liveI will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the seaEvery hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercyEvery step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will,speak what love has done
O-Oh Ohhh
Terry Jacks song can be watched on U-Tube
