Let's go down to the River
As I went down to the river to pray Studyin about that good ol' way
and who shall wear the starry crown? Good Lord show me the way!
O sisters let's go down Lets go down, Come on down O sisters lets go down
Down in the river to pray As I went down in the river to pray Studyin about that good ol way ..
That's the Allison Krauss song that I love. I was singing it as I walked Lucy down by the river. It seemed appropriate as it was our last walk by the river together this past weekend. (I didn't even know Tony was videoing that moment til I walked by him and said 'that's enough' but I'm glad he did). Lucy went into the Light Monday October 27th. I didn't realize how after after almost 13 years just her being with me was just pure comfort to me in the house each day. I guess that is selfish. I have so enjoyed the pleasure of her company. Just knowing she was here when I came home, when I woke up, when I went to bed. Each of those moments, when I would have expected her, I have cried, actually sobbed. Then there are those times during the day that I just break down when I realize she has left me physically and isn't coming back ever- I have cried so much; though I know we are always together in mind/body/soul if you know what I mean when you have a connection like you do with a sentient being like that. I know she won't suffer any longer and what happened had to happen. But we miss her tremendously and we are devastated. We also remember all the joy and blessings she gave us and me for all the many years she blessed us with her sweet devoted life. We celebrate her passing onto her next journey leaving her tired sick body, but we miss being able to feel her sweet self and be in her presence so much.
It will take me a long while to get used to this, she was my sweet special flower and my strong rock. Thanks for listening, love love...
