| Today has been exactly one week since Syd left us. I miss him so very much. I miss his vocalness, his wanting to play tug of war all the time and wanting to snuggle. I miss my big boy so much. I haven't done much to rearrange everything in the basement (where I moved my computer when Syd was not able to walk anymore so I could be near him at all times), but decided to boot up my computer that I'd shut off during a storm. As I was waiting for it to boot up, I was sitting there and looked over at a stack of stuff beside my keyboard. I noticed a box in a paper slide on sheath that I had received in October 2004 as part of my 25 years employment. The box contained a fancy calculator and an engraved pen. I had opened this box upon getting it and noticed that the time and date were accurate. During the past 6 months or so, I've looked at it occassionally and noticed it still had the correct date and time on it. Since I hadn't looked at it recently, I opened the box and pulled out the calculator thinking that someday I really needed to read the instructions on how to use the features on it. I looked at the date on it and I got goosebumps all over and began to cry. The date on it was not today's date/time of 6/23/04 at 12:00 noon, but it showed 6/16/04 at 1:30pm. That was the date and time that Syd passed. I warmth came over me and I felt immediately peaceful. I knew that Syd had sent me a sign that he was okay, playing with all his friends, including my first rottie Shayla and my cat Mindy, at Rainbow Bridge and that he was whole again. I will never, ever forget today as I just BELIEVED in my heart that it was a sign from Syd. Thank you, my boy...... |
