Earle my beloved and Tipper

These are pictures of My Dear Friend Earle Who left us for the other shores on August 23, 2009. One of his favorite passtimes was spent

with my little dog Tipper . They were great friends , especially at mealtimes. Earle had not been well and tipper was a constant companion to him.....This is my daughter Tracey...we spent time at Earle's farm picking berries and it was so nice to be able to spend those final days with him at the farm...we will have many beautiful memories of him there...

Collected Whispers...Poetry...Destiny

I wrote this poem when my foster child Destiny moved to a new home and it was one of the hardest times of my life...I missed her terribly...everywhere I went there were reminders of her ...her toys in the back yard...in the grocery toy aisle where the Barbies were...my backyard where the old swing set still sits..I recently found a partially in flated balloon in the house and she has been gone for four years now ..It was like a part of my heart had been ripped out...I had some health problems that went along with it...I developed shingles which are a stress related illness..With her leaving like that so suddenly, it triggered some childhood memories that were not so pleasant...I knew that I had to do something about those and I have been seeing a wonderful counselor from that time on...I've been able to talk a lot about my own issues and have moved beyond some of them...Some are too difficult to even remember...I wrote another poem called Where Has Innocence Gone and it was published in the year 2000 for the millenium....It was published in Canada and the States.....This poem Where Is my Destiny was just recently published...
I knew she had gone to a good family and a good home ..I hoped I could still be a part of her life...I always will I know.. but I only see her in pictures...she is blossoming into a beautiful young lady...I know she will go far.....
