Saying Farewell To Vincent
Tweet |
I am comforted that Vincent’s passing was a very peaceful one and that it happened at home. He even came back to the bathroom and slept right in front of the entrance. It was like he had a choice to be exactly where he wanted to be.
I have always believed, in my limited experience, that animals choose the time of their passing. When it is time, they will let go.
No 50-50 surgery. No dilemma for me. Vincent decided it was time to go.
Golden lads and girls all must, as chimney sweeps, come to dust.
Ginger was upset. He was mewing.
Tabs came to say goodbye too. A few times.
Zurik was on the rooftop, but he must have known, because he too came and we let him in to say goodbye.
Zurik and Vincent started off as the most bitter opponents, with Vincent trying his best to keep Zurik (the intruder) out of the porch, but Vincent finally relented and let Zurik stay. The two became good friends.
We have said our goodbyes now and Pet Memorial Services will do the last rites.
You led an amazing and unforgettable life, Vincent Bagheera. You are free now to move to a higher realm.
Life never dies, although we live.
In midst of change and death,
Only the forms shall pass away.
And not the spirit’s breath.
The consciousness can never die.
Although it seems to fade.
It doth but pass to other forms.
Which thoughts and acts have made.
“There is no death” all nature cries.
The rose will reappear.
Its petal will more perfect be.
After the winter drear.
The tiny bird that lifeless falls.
A victim to its prey.
Returns again in higher forms.
Upon its upward way.
From life to life more high and free
The myriads forms evolve
O may we learn to know the truth
This mighty riddle solve.
