As time goes by

It’s been 10 days since Vixey passed on.  Life in my house has more or less returned to normal, but Vixey’s ashes are still right here with me, beside her favourite router.  Little flowers decorate the little basket where her ashes lie.  Vixey had always had flowers in all her baskets.  If not flowers, then pretty bows and ribbons. 

 

After Vixey passed away, Indy got a little cranky for a few days, and once, he ended up in my neighbour’s house, huddled in a corner, frightened to bits.  I don’t know why he went over to their house.  Could he have lost his senses for that day?  I had to go over to bring him back and he was terrified.

 

Suki sometimes jump up to the router and sniff at the flowers.  I’m sure she misses Vixey too.

But Indy and Suki are best of friends, and good old Indy watches over Suki as a big brother would.  It is very touching looking at the two of them being together.

 

 

 

Indy never leaves Suki out of his sight, especially when Suki gets time out in the garden.

 

 

 

Gives cause for apprehension

With speed and new invention

And things like fourth dimension.

 

 

Yet we get a trifle weary

With Mr. Einstein’s theory.

So we must get down to earth at times

Relax relieve the tension

 

 

And no matter what the progress

Or what may yet be proved

The simple facts of life are such

They cannot be removed.]

 

 

You must remember this

A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by.

Indeed, what really matters in life is to love and care for others as much as we can.  These are the “fundamental things” that apply, as time goes by…

I seem to be saying this all the time, so please forgive me for repeating, we will never know when we are taken away, so while we are still here, make every moment count. 

Kimba did.  Vixey did.  And now that they are gone, they leave behind happy memories that still touch us deeply.  They are indeed…pawprints on our hearts.
