The Parting

                   Now I know

                   Three months after mummy was admitted to hospital to
                   prepare  for  life  in  a  nursing  home,  she  died  quietly  at
                   night on the 23  July 2007.
                                 rd
                   My mummy was only fifty five years old.

                   Daddy,  my  sisters,  our  family,  her  friends  and  I  were
                   very sad and miss her so much.

                   We again had broken hearts when our sister Belinda died
                   six months after my mummy.

                   Daddy was to start riding a motorbike again. Something
                   mummy and daddy did when they were young. They had
                   a dream to ride around Australia.

                   These  thoughts  are  from  ten  years  of  daddy’s  life  ful-
                   filling that dream.
                   I have shared that life, for I am more than a pet.
