goodbye england's rose
may you ever grow in our hearts
you were the grace that placed itself
when lives were torn apart
you called out to our country
and you whispered to those in pain
now you belong to heaven
and the stars spell out your name
this song always evoke much feelings in my heart. while i was too young to understand fully the politics of the late princess diana's life, i felt the grief and pain england felt...
today, my little guinea pig, fluffy left us. i witnessed her final moments and sat down to watch her take her last painful breaths. i didn't leave her side, until she took her last breath and her eyelids slowly lost its function and closed ever so slowly. it was so painful to watch, yet i took pictures of her and video-ed her at her deathbed.
fluffy's the sweetest pet ever. she's always so mild tempered, always so responsive and calling out to ask whenever we walked past her cage. she and her partner milky were such a close pair of friends, huddling together, eating and sleeping together, i wonder how milky feels now. lonely, perhaps...
it is hard to deny the aches that i feel, this mild little fluff ball whom i never paid that much attention to, but yet i see her each day and i call her name...listening for her responses, stroking her lovely fluffs of fur...
tonight when i got home and peered into the cage, i missed her presence terribly. seeing only one left. i will miss you dear fluffy and i will remember you, sweet little fluffy.
=( it is hard not to feel choked up. it is hard to deal with the lingering sense of death. and i feel really sad today.
and it seems to me
you lived your life
like a candle in the wind
never fading in the sunset
when the rain set in
and your footsteps will always fall here
along england's greenest hills
your candle's burnt out long before
your legend ever will
