Doink and Peaches..

~ Coco..... "You slept beside me on my bed, by the pillow where I laid my head. when I went off to work at night, you kissed goodbye and i held you tight. When I was sad, you saw me cry and licked the tears from swollen eyes. You wagged your tail when I came in, more than a dog... you were my friend. I'll miss youre bark, I'll miss youre face. No pet will ever take your place. The cats and Corey miss you too, but there was nothing I could do. I hope I hope youre happy where you are... In taking you...they broke my heart" ~You'll be greatly missed...I love you.""It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." The Velveteen Rabbit ~ Like the velveteen rabbit from the story, most of us go through life every day, just trying to be loved..to be "real". Many of us struggle trying to "get someplace"' and we don't even realize we may already be where we're trying to go. And when we realize we are there, its too late and the rest of the world has moved on. The song, "Where The Heart Is", Says: " "You may find all your dreams have already come true". So many of us are trying to find our dreams. What we dont realize is that most of our dreams have already come true. Just because they don't ,(or didn't last), doesn't make them any less significant. I'd like to think all my dreams came true. I've enjoyed good health most of my life, I've Always had food to eat and a roof over my head, And I've been in love with someone who made me truely happy. All my dreams have come true... I just wish some of them would have lasted a little longer. Every relationship, makes us a little stronger. I haven't had the easiest life, but most of my outer shell has been loved off and I know, inside, I'm real."
