The Velveteen Rabbit
so many lessons from this, my favorite childbook story. I still have the book. I always thought of it through the years when Ren was losing his physical abilities. It always made sense to me but now it really makes sense to me. I hope you take the time to hear it. Even for adults, the underlying lessons are so Real.

I love the story of the Velveteen
ReplyDeleteRabbit and still have our copy,
too. The life lessons in this
little book are invaluable. And
dear Ren is beautiful as is
that little rabbit. I think we
all grow more beautiful as we
are loved. I enjoy seeing an
older couple holding hands and
smiling at one another. It is
wonderful having the privilege
of growing in love and life with
my dear husband. Forget the botox. It's love that makes us beautiful.
Peace,
Sandy
Jennifer, I just read your
ReplyDeleteprevious post about Ren's
passing. I didn't even see
before that he had died. I
am so sorry. Having lost Gabe
only two short months ago the
pain is still fresh. I know
how you feel. It is so very
hard but your heart will heal.
You have beautiful memories that
you will cherish forever I know.
Thank God you have little Abbie
to comfort you. I am praying
for you.
Love,
Sandy
And remember there is a wonderful
place the Lord has just for our
pets. Remember the article on
my blog? Go and read it again and
you will be so comforted.
Jennifer and hubby. I just read that Ren passed. He was beautiful and gave you so much joy, love and comfort. "What is loved by the heart is never lost" Beecher
ReplyDeleteThe passage of time will make the lost bearable but the time now is very hard to get through. Hold Miss Abbey, she will be the balm to your hearts.
Ren was lucky to have you and you him. I'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad for you and your family, losing a family member is so hard.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that as time goes by you will remember the good times more than the sad times.
I am losing my Peanut she has lymes and ashe lost all her hearing and some of her eyesight.
The memories will never be lost and no one can take them away from you.
Peace to you and your family.
Ren you have earned your Angel wings in Heaven.
Catherine
I am so very sorry about Ren.
ReplyDeleteBut what wonderful memories you will always have.
Bless you....
Belated condolences to you on the death of your beloved Ren. I lhave lost many pets and it is a devastating thing to experience. But I always think of the Keats poem:
ReplyDeleteA thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
...
A fitting tribute to our well loved friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me of the story.
