are really not all that special

except

for the LOVE 

that’s contained in them that makes them at all meaningful.

I’ve often used this film clip in conjunction with the book I self-published back in 1998:

RE-MEMBERING–A MEMORY BOOK

which helps any person do the powerful act of Self Life Review

and by telling your story helps it not only

get heard/read

but RE-MEMBERED. . .

put back together again for yourself and future generations. . .

but Memories mean nothing

without the Love that makes them meaningful. . .

I still cry for the loss of the pets who have been a part of my life, all of my life, each time I watch this scene.

Yesterday I helped in a Celebration of Life

for four dogs, two cats and a bunny who died as a result of a house fire.

Their loving owner has fostered and cared for (16) animal companions who required loving hospice care at the end of their lives.

Not only were there about 12 people in attendance but also just as many dogs to come together to

Remember

Honor

Celebrate

these special animals

on a cold, partly-cloudy, Sunday afternoon.
