February 19, 1995 – July 27, 2005
I don’t know whether dogs come into our lives to help us become better people, or whether we become better people by having dogs in our lives. Either way, Casey had a wealth of lessons to teach everyone she touched about friendship, patience, forgiveness, understanding, kindness, tolerance, and most of all unconditional love.
Although her work was far from over when she lost her battle with bone cancer in July 2005, even her passing taught me a difficult but valuable lesson – that when you truly love something, sometimes the kindest thing you can do is let them go.
We
Have A Secret
We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your golden form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass.
