The Meaning of Rescue

Now that I'm home,

bathed,settled and fed,

All nicely tucked into

my warm new bed.

I'd like to open my baggage,

Lest I forget,

There is so much to carry -

So much to regret.

Hmmmm ...

Yes, there it is,

right on the top,

Let's unpack

Loneliness, heartache and Loss,

And there by my bed hides

Fear and Shame.

As I look on these things

I tried so hard to leave -

I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.

I loved them,

the others, the ones who left me,

But I wasn't good enough -

for they didn't want me.

Will you add to my baggage?

Or will you help me unpack?

Or will you just look at my things -

And take me right back?

Do you have the time to help me unpack?

To put away my baggage,

And never repack?

I pray that you do -

I'm so tired you see,

But I do come with baggage -

Will you still want me?

On this Thanksgiving eve ...

I am thankful my Mom, Olga Maria Francisca is still in this Earth, even though she is not who she used to be. She was my idol, she was an amazing woman none could compare.
I am thankful for my three children Sergio, Gina and Bianca, that they are healthy and happy; and they have someone special who loves them and friends who care for them. I love you very much! I was as good as mom as I could be but I know there was so much I could have have done better.
I am thankful for all the friends I have made this year, who share my passion for animals. I love you all.
I am thankful for the doggies and animals that have come into my life, and I have been given the privilege to make their lives better; even the ones who I was not there in time, I will never forget you , moreover my fight for you grows even stronger.
I am thankful I have 8 cold noses to wake up to and warm furry snuggles to sleep by.
On this Thanksgiving eve .... I remember you, Horatio, my sweet bully boy;
I am thankful for the precious time I had with you.
