Tim said it best this morning. While the passing of Harley and Grady has left a huge void in our lives, they still occupy a huge space in our hearts.
If it should be I grow frail and weak
And pain prevents my peaceful sleep,
The you must do what must be done
When this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand.
Selfishness might stay your hand.
But on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship take the test.
We've had so many happy years
That what's to come should hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer, so
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
And stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know, in time, you too will see
It is a kindness that you do for me.
Although my tail it's last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Do not grieve it should be you
Who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we five, these years...
Don't let your hearts hold too many tears.
