It has been nine months since Justice was taken from us, and yet the pain is still there, still real;
like it happened yesterday. Let no one tell you that is gets easier with the passing of time. It doesn't. No parent
wants their child to feel any pain; watching my daughter go through such a horrible tragedy is just about one of the
most difficult experiences I have had to witness in a long time.
I truly loved Lady Justice Ari`. I loved the bond between my daughter and her furbaby; how surprising
it was to see Lady Justice Ari` "plaster" her face to the side of my daughter's face, when I tried to have a conversation
with her. Lady Justice seemed to say, "She belongs to me, too, you know." I loved our furbabies, Sienna and
Puppy dearly, and I miss them so, so much.
This is my healing place....
I love you, Mom....
together, we will make it through this storm...
On January 13, 2004, I expressed the following thoughts:
"A mother's heart knows what a soul can't reveal;
A mother's heart hears the whispers from the soul.
I hear Justice's soul whispering to me. "
"Justice had a way of connecting with family members that I've never seen with any other animal. One
of her methods was to simply lean up against them and turn her face toward you with those big eyes as if to ask, " Are you
going to pet me?". Or, she would get bold; get a running start; and jump right up into your lap...as if to say, "Get
Ready....Get Set...Pet Me!"...
Or, when my daughter was holding Justice in her arms and walked close to me, Justice would reach out with
her paw and touch me to say, "We're Buds, right?"
Then, I never knew a dog could purr...But Justice did when my daughter picked her up and held her.
I would say,"Now that's too much!"...and, Justice would literally purr as if to say,"I'm so satisfied."
On the playful side, when asked to do tricks for a treat, Justice started out doing one trick at a time
as commands were given. But, soon, she got wise and when requests were made (or even if someone was enjoying an
appetizing snack or morsel) Justice did all of her tricks--- at one time, in rotation (sit-- laydown-- rollover-- then-- sit
up )...When she was finished, she would sit straight up and look at you to say, "How was that?"..."How'd I do?"...."What are
you going to give me, now?..."That deserves several treats, right?!"...
and then it all ended....someone took all this love away...Why?
In Memory of Lady Justice Ari'......
Justice's site is a healing place........ ...a place where
we can remember, oh so vividly; ..... a place where tears flow, ever so freely.......... ...a place where we can take
time to cry, oh so often; ...... a place to remember why we cry....... ...a place to remember that Justice was taken
from us........ ....a place to let others know, someone has stolen precious moments..... ...a place to let others
know how much we loved Lady Justice.....
still do.....always will...... .... a place where her memory will live on.........
Love, Mom

Here I Am World! |
|
I have a new family. They call me, "Justice". Lady Justice Ari', to be exact. I like my name. |
Sienna: AKA, "Furball" |
|
My Dad always called me that. |
The pictures above are two of my Mom's favorite pictures of Puppy and Sienna. The one below of Puppy
was taken when she was older; and just weeks before her untimely passing. Mom likes this one, too. I think
I had just given her a treat or an ice cube....so, as you can see, she was "licking her chops"....As usual, she was snuggling
with her favorite Mickey Mouse "blankie".
Of course Sienna was my Mom's "Baby Pie-sie"....My mom always says that Sienna taught them so much over the years.
Sienna was such a sweet puppy and she is deeply missed. After 16 years, it's so hard to say "Goodbye" but, my mom and
I decided that no time would have been a "better time" to say "goodbye"...it seems that we are never ready for this reality
of life.
However, it helps my mom to think of our furbaby angels as special gems; precious gifts that we are given for, what seems a
short while. During the time we share together, we live, we love; we laugh; we learn;
Then, when our season together ends...when it is time for us to part ways here on Earth, we have our memories and a special
bond to cherish, forever.
Yes, the sadness is there; along with the tears and the pain...
But, we must remember: these precious creatures are gifts from above...when it's time for them to return to heaven, we
must learn how to hold onto them in our hearts, love them, forever, from a distance, and let them go back to God...
When my Mom is ready, she will add more of her own thoughts to this site....Until then, I'm creating a page for my Mom
to remember two very special furbabies who touched her life in an incredible way.
