Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - A Poem

We are all saddened when hearing/reading about the loss of a pet. I have shed a few tears recently, reading some of the posts and my heart goes out to all of you who have lost a pet through AIHA. I would like to post this poem as I find it very touching. I am a firm believer in we shall see our beloved pets again and this poem

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.

Tricia - Thank you for posting the poem. I'm still missing Gus, and have been thinking about him a lot lately. He will surely be missed this Christmas, but his stocking will be hung at the fireplace, as it was for the past 8 years, along with the stockings for our other dogs.
