debris4spikeLook what I saw when I got in from Bible Study this evening -
My memorial rose for Jaykub .... I am happy about that. I know that it doesn't bring him back, but it was given me the day after he died and it stayed in Bude with me, travelled to Mum & Dad's over the winter and now is with me in Exeter.
He died 8 years ago this July ... so the plant is doing well.
At Bible Study we talked about the word "why" .... and were reminded that God doesn't promise us answers to hard questions, but He does promise us His un-dying love.
Jaykub was only 10 when he died and words can't ever really describe how much much he meant to me ... maybe this year I should try to write about our amazing friendship.
However in the loss of Jaykub I then had the honour of training my namesake DJ, which is something that I would never have been involved in ... which also meant that he was able to go and live the spoilt life that he now has.
So, I still miss Jaykub, but in his loss DJ and I both gained.

I've had many dogs in my life and each has given me such joy. And a bit of crazy at times, but always love. I truly believe they are waiting for me on the other side and we will be together again.

When our Misty died about 6 months after Jaykub, Andrew (then 6) asked me if I thought that the two of them had met up in Heaven yet ... and I said yes. I know I shall see him again, one day ... and Perry, and Misty (and DJ and Jiffy) ... and get to meet your 4 legged family, as well.
