β₯ This is a memorial for all our little hamster angels between 1990 and 2007 β₯ You all deserve to be remembered and as of today, 04/09/10, I am adding our hamsters we had while growing up β₯ I wish God gave you longer lives, it seems so wrong that you only get a few years.
β₯ Emma and I had 14 hamsters as kids/teenagers, 11 were babies to Mummy Lovely and Daddy Frisky.
Lovely #1, our first ever hamster, born in 1990 and passed on 02/10/1992, followed by Lovely #2 who βmarriedβ our little boy Frisky, and born to this lovely pair on 01/09/1993 were 5 girls - Salt, Tuppence, Cola, Pepsi and Snowy and 6 boys - Pepper, Fluffy, Biscuit, Smokey, Bubbles and Squeak. All buried in the garden at the βfamily homeβ, and reunited at the Rainbow Bridge.
Frisky was the most wonderful natured little man going, and you lived a long life sweetheart, nearly 4 years old I think, and the growth you had on your head didnβt seem to bother you, it was most probably a tumour, but you were in no pain and lived out your days happily. (UPDATED - found your dates, maybe time seemed to go a lot slower when we were kids, you lived 2 years darling. You were born May 1993, we brought you home 24/06/1993 and you passed 24/06/1995)
The 2 Lovelyβs β you were both golden hamsters, and similar in looks and size. Lovely #1 gave us a wonderful experience in looking after our first ever hamster that we knew we would go on to have more. So sweet and beautiful, forever loved and missed. Lovely #2, you were such a good Mum and I remember how once the babies were born and were blind for a week or so, you kept picking them up by the scruff of the neck and carrying them into the large house that Dad built to fit your cage! Born April 1993, we brought you home on 10/05/1993 and you passed on 31/05/1995.
The childrenβ¦! Although as brothers and sisters you were so alike in looks, you each had your unique personalities! As far as temperament went, some of you were as good as gold, and some could have learnt a manner or two! We loved you all equally, and miss you to this day darlings.
Dates I have so far -
Lovely #1 died 02/10/1992
Pepsi Born 01/09/1993 died 01/07/1994 (only 10 months old, you weren't even ill darling)
Lovely #2 Born April 1993 died 31/05/1995
Frisky Born May 1993 died 24/06/1995
Bubbles Born 01/09/1993 died 14/04/1995 (I found you next day while cleaning cage)
Tuppence Born 01/09/1993 died 24/05/1995
Pepper Born 01/09/1993 died 18/07/1995
Squeak Born 01/09/1993 died 23/08/1995
Salt Born 01/09/1993 died 25/09/1995 (overnight, we found you in the morning of 26th darling)
Cola Born 01/09/1993 died 20/10/1995
Snowy Born 01/09/1993 died 22/02/1996
Smokey Born 01/09/1993 died 07/06/1996
Fluffy Born 01/09/1993 died 14/07/1996
Biscuit Born 01/09/1993 died 16/07/1996
β₯ My boyfriend Jan and I have had 6 hamsters between 2002 and 2007, ending an era with Rusty β who died in the January, 2007.
Champers, Napalm, Viper, Kuffs, Rusty and Babe (or Digger) - You were all special, and we miss you so much. Sadly, with the exception of Rusty, you're buried in our old garden, so we can't visit you, but I hope you are at rest and happy wherever you are.
Champers - well, what can I say. You were my special baby, and the way you died still haunts me to this day. You used to sit in my hand and licked my palm, you were such a sweetie. I remember you and Napalm were fighting for Kuffs attention - of course you were all in separate cages, but the noises you and Napalm made, calling out! And the time you got out and I found you under the wardrobe, with a scratch on your nose - I knew you had gone sniffing at Napalms cage and he had had a go! Love you poppet. xxx
Napalm - mischievous little fella, we weren't sure if or when you were going to bite! Most of the time you were good, and then, just when we weren't expecting it, along came the nip! I took you to the vet when that cyst started growing under your chin, he said there was nothing we could do β it may be cancerous, it may not, but you didn't seem to be bothered by it, and you were a good age, so he said to let you live out your days. It kept growing, and eventually you grew tired and we had to let you go. xxx
Viper - I don't know why Jan chose that name for you as you were the calmest, most placid little hamster, a ball of fur. You were the first to figure out how to open the plastic fastener to your cage, we had to start selotaping it down cos once you learnt how to do it, you couldn't stop! Jan misses you so much too, he loved holding you in the palm of his hand while walking to the treat cupboard and giving you one of your choccies. Big kisses sweetie. xxx
Kuffs - Our first girl hamster, all black with little white cuffs! The time you were in your ball, rolling around the flat, and I was in the bathroom, cleaning. I happened to glance out in the hallway, and saw a little black thing running past the door - it was you! You were lovely, a proper little character, and I'm sorry for the way you passed too. Your skin condition was caused by old age, I know, but it was horrible to watch you go through that darlin. Rest peacefully now. xxx
Rusty - Our last hamster, wow, you were amazing! The one time you did escape you did it in style! I still remember coming to the landing in the morning and seeing some chewed carpet, and called to Jan, wondering if we had rats! Then, I went to your cage, and saw the door open (yes that was me from holding you the night before, I forgot to shut it!) - I checked, and you weren't there! I panicked, there weren't many places for you to hide on the landing, but you must have jumped or fallen from quite a height as your cage was sitting on some shelves. We had a big black binbag at the top of the stairs, and I heard a little rustle. I called Jan, and gently we moved the rubbish
out of the bag, I was scared cos there were tin cans and sharp lids in there, but you were sitting at the bottom of the bag and looked up at us, like butter wouldn't melt! You were a good age, and when it was your time to go, you were such a fighter, 3 weeks went by with you tottering about, but I had to go to Ireland. You were the only hamster that I wasn't with when you died, and I still can't forgive myself for that. Miss you so much. xxx
Babe AKA Digger - our baby. Beautiful looks, but unfortunately I think you had a few neuro problems. You would not stop running round in circles, and your food bowl was your favourite thing to run around - all day. Sounds cute, but we knew there was something wrong, the only time you stopped was to get some water or food, we tried to get you out of the cage as much as possible to stop you doing it, but you still did. You were a year old when you died, you had a stroke and were paralysed, I got
lots of soft food and nursed you through it, you were ok! When you were back on your feet again, you started doing the circles thing again, and this time, suffered a fatal stroke. Rest in peace baby.

β₯β₯β₯β₯β₯ Beyond the Rainbow β₯β₯β₯β₯β₯
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
(Written by CG - 1995)

WAVES OF TWO HEARTS
Waves will come and waves will go
Just like our tears that constantly flow
Awash, Afloat in this endless sea
With memories of how things used to be
Remembering the times we shared together
How i thought they would last forever
Waves that crash and Waves that Roll
Just like the hurt within our soul
Afloat and lost in this endless sea
How i wish back those times of you and me
A love so special , a love so rare
but in my heart you are always there
One day these Waves will calm
soothing the soul like a gentle balm
Waves that reach out to the shore
Bringing us together once more
Two hearts that hold so much love
Bought back together by a force from above
An endless journey we must fulfill
Waves be quiet, waves be still
( By Wendy Goodwin )

BUTTERFLIES
As love falls down from the sky,
It lands on the wings of a butterfly.
The butterfly sings it's song and rhyme,
And flies through the air,
Without a concept of time
It's a messenger of patience and change,
Flower to flower, it's odd, and strange.
The butterfly can transform it's world
Giving way to new beginnings, unfurled,
It is the keeper of transformation,
And flies on faith and imagination
The butterfly has no fear of change
It bravely escapes it's homemade cage.
To change, it knows that is necessary,
For all the burdens we need not carry
The butterfly soars, and merrily sings,
For without change, it couldn't grow wings.

What Face..............
What face shall I wear today
The sad one since you went away
The brave one which says I'm ok
The incomplete one since you couldn't stay
Unfortunately I dont have much choice
When I scream who hears my voice
When I cry people see my tears
When I talk people hear my fears
But what can be done. nothing can be said
To bring my baby back from the dead
So now each day I will carry the pain
Right here in my heart till I see you again.

being to timelessness as it's to time α¦♥α¦
being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end:
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land
β¦
love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear:
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

Tomorrow
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne
He said "This is eternity
And all I've promised you"
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart

~ Memories Build A Special Bridge ~
Our memories build a special bridge
when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still
and sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
and bring us peace of mind.

All they show is limitation.

Find out what you already know,
And you'll see the way to fly.

LEGEND OF THE ANGEL FEATHER
FRANCIS J.WILSON
,"\",
"=\=" ,
."=\=" ,
.."=\=" ,
...."-\-"
........\
I am an angel feather,
Sent from God above,
To serve as a reminder
Of His most gracious love.
I'm from your guardian angel
That God assigned to you,
I fell out in the struggle
As your angel guarded you.
Each time you almost stumble,
Each time you nearly fall,
Thank God and all His angels
For answering your call.
*~βΌ~*~βΌ~*~βΌ~*~βΌ~*~βΌ~
The dark clouds may come to threat your sanctuary
And the black veil may skew your vision
But even in darkness, there will be light
Even in moments of desperation, the sun will still shine.
If anything, sunflowers still bloom at night.
Count only the sunny days, indeed.

An Angel had stood before me
and although I was'nt sure,
what i had lost from my Life
I was about to endour.
For yes this Angel I had with me
was someone I loved very dear,
I cant ever explain it to you
just how much i need them back here.
I never really new what I had
Until it was taken from me
But Lord all this pain inside
Its broke my heart to make me see
I now ask with all my heart
Lord please hear my plea
take care and watch over my Angel above
only then I will let you be!

I could'nt face the feeling
not seeing you again,
Each and Every day
these thoughts were eating at my brain.
So i went on the internet
and there was a gonetoosoon site
A place for all our Angels to meet
Morning, Noon and Night.
I have made new gonetoosoon Friends
they have become very dear,
they have explained it all to me
how i can keep my Angels near?
It's with Photos and Tributes
a candle lit with a prayer
some verses and some poems
for everyone to share.
I now know the main reason
i came on this gonetoosoon site
Its keeping our Angels Memoery alive
and i know thats got to be alright.

Memories From a Fading Room
The room is bare now that you've gone away,
no warmth is there to touch my heart turned cold.
Aware that time won't find me without you,
I try to set aside those memories old.
Running fast and far, I seek to find,
a haven, where thoughts of you recede,
a sanctuary for my ailing soul ~
one moment's joy from sowing grieving's seed.
And there beyond the past the future lies,
a shining castle by the sea of time,
calling softly to me as I run ~
luring me with peace I hope to find.
But as I cross the threshold, there I pause.
Sadness slips across my thoughts in great dismay,
for there your absence grows and echoes loudly ~
in empty rooms that take you far away.
No memories there to cherish and to hold ~
only space and wind and air, without you there.
Return, I must, to rooms where you still linger.
Without you, life would be too hard to bear.
The room is bare now that you've gone away,
but within my heart you'll always live and thrive.
Your memories will walk beside me always ~
to remind me you were once there by my side.
* ~ *
Give me the memories, for they have been left,
to bring me joy and laughter when you've gone.
I'll cherish them in sorrow, and in pleasure ~
and hold them closely 'til my life is done.
