Tinker was my first (and to date, only) guinea pig. He had been in the pet shop 3 months we were
told, as people kept choosing the younger ones and passing him by, but to us, that made him even
more special.
He was a little character, and squeaked like mad, asking for food, when his daddy (my boyfriend)
said a certain word ("Hiya!"). Or if he heard a plastic bag rustling, he automatically associated
that with food, and stood on his hind legs, asking for treats. He had tantrums when he didn't get
his own way, jumping in the air and stamping his feet.
He passed away only earlier this month, and it just isn't the same without him, I miss the noises
that drove me crazy (when he used to make a racket on his water bottle!) and I miss his lovely brown
eyes.
(Update 12/12/08) Well, I have now finally managed to transfer my old video footage to the computer
my darling, and can update your page with your lovely face. Hope you are having fun with all your
cavie pals. xxxxxxx
Oh baby, I will never forget that night, you slipped away in my arms with Jan next to me. I hope I
didn't scare you too much with my crying, I just couldn't believe you were leaving me, you gave me
no sign it was your time baby. I love you so much.
♥♥♥♥♥ Beyond the Rainbow ♥♥♥♥♥
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Distance may separate us
But my heart will never let you go,
For I carry a part of you with me always.
It keeps me going through the day.
It brings a smile to my face
and tears to my eyes.
It is a part of my dreams that I live for and cherish.
That part is my wish, my only one,
To see you again soon.
I know that wish will someday come true.
But for now, I will hold in my heart
The memory of you
And never let you go.

♥♥ The Lord needed a flower
and that flower was you
so he picked you up from down here
and up and up you flew
He planted you in his garden
he said 'You'll stay here now with me'
and there you'll stay away from harm
the prettiest flower you'll always be
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts your always there. ♥♥
Right now I’m in a different place
And though we seem apart
I’m closer than I ever was
I’m there inside your heart
I’m with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I’m there to share the sunsets too
I’m with you every night.

Where is heaven
Where is Heaven?
Is it somewhere in outer space?
Where does my loved one now dwell?
In some far and distant place?
Heaven is all around you...
It's as close as the air and love that surround you.
Heaven is everywhere... it's not just in the skies,
It's a spiritual dimension that can't be seen
Through human eyes.
How do I know my loved one is safe?
How do I know they are well?
How do I know they made it to Heaven?
Is there any way I can tell?
Your loved one is well in Heaven because
They're surrounded by God's love and care,
And I can promise you they made it to Heaven,
Because an angel guided them there!
Is there any way I can tell them how
Much they meant (and still mean) to me?
I'm not sure how to contact them, do you?
Know what Heaven's address can be?
Just talk... and know that they hear you,
Because you'll never be truly apart.
And Heaven's address? Well that's simple...
Just send thoughts care of your heart.

~ I Felt an Angel ~
(Author unknown)
I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel's silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.

WHY
Why is my heart torn in two
Why does my heart ache for you
Why do the tears constantly flow
WHY
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO
By Joanne Stella;s Mam

"How long will the pain last?" A broken-hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your Life," I have to answer truthfully. We never quite forget.
No matter how many years pass, we remember. The loss of a loved one is like a major operation. Part of us is removed, and we have a scar, for the rest of our lives.
As years go by, we manage. There are things to do, things to care for, tasks that call for full attention. But the pain is still there, not far below the surface.
We see a dog or a cat that looks familiar, hear a voice that echoes, see a photograph we put away, see a landscape that once we saw together, and it seems as though a knife were in the wound again.
But not so painfully. And mixed with joy, too, because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow; It brings back some happiness with it, too.
How long will the pain last? "All the rest of your life."
But the thing to remember is that not only will the pain last, but the blessed memories as well.
Tears are proof of life; The more love, the more tears. If this be true, then how could we ever ask that the pain cease altogether? For then the memory of love would go with it.
The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.

Love you poppet. xxx
I miss you so much sweet Tinks, my baby. Nearly a year since you left me...I can't believe it.
Mourning, Morning
I dreamt there was a field beyond the sky
with rolling hills bathed golden by the sun.
A place where all the souls of piggies fly
when sleep and dreams on Earth to them have come.
Long shadows of a leafy, spreading tree
give comfort to the piggies heading past,
and mama pig calls, "Please come home to me.
Your journey's destination's here at last."
The smell of berries red ripe on the vine
is veiled in clover and in baby's breath.
No sadness shall you feel at eventide.
Just nestle next to mama and be at rest.
I dreamed a thousand dreams of hope and then
all piggies old shall be made new again.

~~ Don't Wait For Me Outside the Pearly Gates ~~
(by Jeanie E. Tam. Copyright 2009)
Don't wait for me outside the Pearly Gates,
though the field is golden and the wind is sweet.
Go on in, cos I might be late,
and say hello to my grannies, whom you may meet.
Think of it as a vacation,
where you'll run freely, and bounce, and binky,
with plushy grass to lay your head
and no prey or pain to make you weary.
If Fate will have it our way,
the years will come to pass.
With all my deeds fulfilled, as He has intended, I pray,
I'll be at my destination at last.
I will tread on the golden field,
the same field you once were wandering.
It is beautiful there, I'm sure.
But it's no use standing there waiting.
So don't wait for me outside the Pearly Gates,
though the wind is sweet and the field is golden.
Just come greet me at the opening gates
when I arrive, and walk with me into Heaven.
