A New Post Is Coming Soon ... It's Percolating

For the past few weeks, a new post has been in the formative stages in my heart and mind. It's not quite ready, but will be soon. Beloved Wiggles, you are faithfully with me always, and reminders of you abound all around, but most of all, in my heart and soul.
It is so clear, so undeniable, that you and God arranged for Good Boy's path in life to merge with my own, and he and I are most grateful. Though your earthly body simply wore out -- and I know you're here in a perfect way now, right here with me at all times in all places -- I still long for you in that visible, tangible form that spent all those blessed years with his mommy-me. You understand that, Wiggles, and so does Good Boy as he keeps just enough space between us for you to stay beside your mommy, even as he has become more comfortable here and knows it's his home for the rest of his earthly life.
Good Boy and I are a team born of desperation, loneliness, great need and all the ingredients that you and God put together and mixed, but we could not exist without either you or our Heavenly Father. Thank you more than there are words to describe, on this day, and every day: I love you more than ever, sweet Many Kisses, Little Boo, Punky Brewster, Wigglety Woo!
With ev'ry beat of your heart, ev'ry stir of your soul ...
Here I am, Person O' Mine! Right here with you,
When my heart stopped beating, I didn't leave you.
I'm inside your heart, helping it heal;
Inside your soul, helping it feel.
The tears are of love, that you shed for me,
I am not gone; I'm hereinsideyou, see?
Look in our yard, look 'round our home;
I didn't go, I didn't roam!
Far from you? There is no way!
I could go, not for forever, or even a day!
God knows our love as He knows our hearts;
He loans us the bodies, but we never part!
When things wear out, as on earth they do,
He tucks us inside the other's "soul shoe."
There to live, comfy-cozy we are,
ALWAYS near-n-dear, never far!
Tonight, as you lie down to sleep,
Feel my paw on your arm, my breath on your cheek.
"Seeing" me isn't just the old way,
It's seeing with our hearts, where we always stay!
Fresh as the day I came into your life,
New as our love, old as the knife
That cuts our hurts and pain away,
And leaves our love, forever 'n' a day!
Where am I? In the love that makes you whole,
With ev'ry beat of your heart, ev'ry stir of your soul ...
