The Heavenly Hawk

call 911........call 911
I don't know how many of you are spiritual - but this morning I got a call from my girlfriend. Her mother has been at home and she quit her job to take care of her properly, getting a hospice nurse too.

She had kindey failure yesterday and got a morphine shot - they took her home and sung gospel songs in the house, over her bed while she was fading. She passed about an hour later in peace with a smile - I'm sure the heavenly choir was beautiful.

And you know I have rescue rats. I lost my first little girl about 2 weeks ago. Well this morning - the little girl didnt come for morning "lovies"my favorite little girl passed away. Rats are clean, and very smart contrary to popular belief. And I thought to myself .....I wonder if my girlfriends Mom got to enter heaven with my little rat in hand?

Then I was wrapping her in her favorite blanket - and I see a hawk standing in the yard. We never get hawks - with the cat we hardly get birds anymore. And this hawk, huge head, grey belly - dark markings - looked right at me in the window, spread its wings twice, and then took off.

I think he headed for heaven with my little Jwi.

When our son died, there were 2 services - on Christian and one Native. As the men beat the drums and the women danced in ceremonial attire - I looked up and saw the hawk circling above. The chief said it was a good sign - the heavenly hawk took his spirit to the next world.

I think such a sweet little rat deserved the same ride. I'll sure miss them both.

Just looking at things a little different today - for the animals sake.

Hugs
No need to apologize or anything like that - I know they are in a better place because they won't be old, or hurt, or be sick. I just miss them that's all. Rats catch your tears in their little hands and give them back to you as smiles.

Star,

This brought tears to my eyes. :( difficult child had 2 mice... Krispy & Creme. Creme was the female, very tiny, and became pregnant. She died during childbirth but had 7 little babies. They looked like peanuts. :)

I did my best to keep them alive, layed them on a piece of rabbit fur, fed them...etc...but one by one they passed, and with each one tears were shed. :( I still have that piece of rabbit fur.

Your little rat did get a ride to Heaven on the wings of that Hawk. All creatures deserve that.

Hugs for your hurting heart.

Hugs Star for your aching heart. They're in a much better place and happy once again. But you will still miss them.

I'm glad the hawk stopped by your house.

Hugs
