It is with the heaviest of minds that I light my candle of memoriam for my dearest beloved mother who passed away an hour ago after long and debilitating illness.
May I only find the fondest of memories for her in the future and may she have forgiven me for being such an inadequate son. I love you, Mom. I missed you already these past years. In my last parting two weeks ago you were my mom again, as you used to be, for seconds only. Thank you so much.

"[The] bronze statue 'Requiem,' standing more than seven feet tall, depicts a Chinese miner amidst the ruins of Chinatown, holding the remnants of a ceremonial dragon flag," Rock Springs Mayor Max Mickelson read during the statue dedication. He was joined by his town council, which for the most part, supported the statue.

I've taken The Rainbow Bridge poem and given it a contemporary feel. I have also made it gender neutral so that ALL dogs would be represented. :)
I am currently grieving myself after having to say goodbye to our 14 year old lab last week. :(

Red Plaque unveiled in Swansea to honour firefighter Alan Sherratt
A Red Plaque honouring Swansea firefighter Alan Sherratt was unveiled this week on the footpath named in his memory, opposite the Carlton Hotel in the city centre.
Alan Sherratt was just 24 years old when the fire engine he was driving overturned on 24 September 1972. Three fellow crew members were injured in the accident, which occurred while responding to an emergency call.
The Red Plaque scheme, run by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) and funded by the Firefighters 100 Lottery, commemorates firefighters who have died in the line of duty. The plaques are placed in the communities where they served, creating lasting tributes to their sacrifice.

Wednesday’s unveiling was attended by representatives from the Fire Brigades Union, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, and members of Alan Sherratt’s family. A recital by the FBU piper was followed by a ceremonial wreath laying.
Steve Wright, general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, said: “The Fire Brigades Union’s Red Plaque scheme commemorates firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty, with plaques located across the UK in the places they served. It is vital that we remember all those who died responding to emergencies. Their service to their communities will always be part of local history, and the history of the fire and rescue service. We remember Alan Sherratt.”
Duncan Stewart Ball, acting FBU regional secretary for Wales, added: “Alan Sherratt’s Red Plaque will stand in tribute to his service to the community in Swansea, as a place for remembrance and reflection for all. The tragic accident that killed Alan aged 24 is a sobering reminder of the dangers that all firefighters face when responding to calls. Fifty three years after his death, we honour his memory and will ensure that he is never forgotten.”
The Alan Sherratt footpath continues to serve as a local landmark, now joined by a permanent memorial recognising his contribution and sacrifice.
