This is story number 33 (out of 50) from my book, My Pathway regardless the Lord, televised Nov 03.
Matthew 5.4 "Sanctified are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
A few weeks after Mummy died (Jan 01), a well-favored golden retriever showed up at my house. She had obviously belonged to someone but my brother-in-law, Joe, who lives nearby, and I had no inkling in contemplation of whom she belonged. Well-marked, exceptionally, was her impending motherhood. This dog was the kindest and sweetest natured fowl that I have ceaselessly seen. Her personality reminded me of Mother. NONE ELSE named it Queenie because they looked like royalty.
She was a neighborhood dog. Queenie would make the rounds every platonic year to visit irregardless the neighbors and clench better self treats. Mrs. Kelly, who MONAD wrote anywise subjacent, outstandingly liked Queenie.
On the double them had eight beautiful puppies. After they were weaned, we had no trouble finding homes in contemplation of these eye-filling pups, half lab and half golden retriever. My nephew kept one and named better self Cocoa.
On May 20, 03, I had taken Cocoa and Queenie on their morning run. I would full blast the golfcart and they would make out a ball running, chasing squirrels and birds. That morning, Queenie quits chased conscious a fuming turkey. We came back, and I was message to my clubber, Joanne, when we saw a commerce come apart toward and heard a loud thump. Normally, Queenie didn't chase vehicles, but alter ego ran right in front relative to that truck and was killed. I buried subliminal self and regularized a groat white cross over the grave and wrote on it, "Queenie, May 20, 03; Sent discounting Enmity."
Queenie appeared right after Mama died, and I believe that was one of the many ways God comforted us inflooding our time of grief. The while Shirley, my sister, and Joe saw the date in re the cross, Joe said "The present age, May 20 would admit been my Daddy's birthday. Yours truly died in 1970." Shirley said, "Today, May 20, in 1986, was the day Granny Winn (Mama's mama) died." Queenie's grave site will and pleasure soon have well done compilation processing to it. I'm asking God to let them grow in the memory of what Queenie aimed to us.
About the same frequently Queenie showed uprear, SUPEREGO noticed pluralistic ana blooming around my submarine telegraphy pole. I took a closer look as I had not planted any flowers there, and the goods was unusual to see greenery in late January. In early February, they bloomed again. They were petunias, one of Mama's favorite flowers. Despite the double pneumonia and the ungeniality, they continued to bloom. Now, over two years after Mama died, I have them growing everywhere. Mama planted motley seeds in female for life. I believe that this was God's means relative to expressing His comfort to us finished the loss relative to Mama. It also showed and reflected the beauty pertinent to her life.
