Today My furry friend Lucy died. My heart feels broken, but really its not. It has another crack in it.
It reminds me that there is never enough time, there was never enough time for me to give her all the love i felt for her.
The death of my son, and the death of my dear furry friend Sasha two yrs ago taught me, you only give one chance to witness the death of someone you love.
So as Lucy died i was holding her in my arms, as they shaved her little paw, and put the needle in she growled and hissed like her alter ego "Rattlesnake" I cradled her and told her to let them have it and to be a brave girl. I sang to her.
A song i have sung to her since she was 8 weeks old
Mamas gonna buy you a diamond ring and if that diamond won't shine.
Mamas gonna buy you the sun in the sky,
And if that sun don't shine,
Mamas gonna buy you the stars and the moon.
I sang it and sang it, i told her How i was so lucky to be her mama, how she had healed parts of my brokeness. I told her she was going to be reunited with Sasha her BFF (best furry friend). I thanked her. The ride to the vet she purred and purred, something she had not done for weeks.
I want to share with the lyrics for Marc Anthony New song, the salsa version
VIVIR MI VIDA (LIVE MY LIFE) - The song is in Spanish so here is the translation
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
[I'm gonna] live my life, la, la, la, la
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna enjoy
live my life, la, la, la, la
Sometimes rain comes
to clean wounds
Sometimes just a drop
can overcome the drought
And why cry, for what?
If it hurts bad, forget it
And why suffer, for what?
If life is like this, you must live it
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
live my life, la, la, la, la
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna enjoy
live my life, la, la, la, la
I'm gonna live in the moment
to understand the fate
I'm gonna listen in silence
to find the way
And why cry, for what?
If it hurts bad, forget it
And why suffer, for what?
If it hurts bad, forget it
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
live my life, la, la, la, la
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna enjoy
live my life, la, la, la, la
My people!
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
Why mourn? Why suffer?
Start dreaming, laughing
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
Feel and dance and enjoy,
you only live once
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
Live, always keep moving forward
Don't look back
My people, you only live once
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance
live my life, la, la, la, la
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna enjoy
live my life, la, la, la, la
So my friends, connect with one another, there really is never enough time. Connect with your loved ones, connect with yourself.
Really thats all there is in this life and to be honest its all too short.
Love, ANg
