Tak, I hope this will help you.
Purrs and hugs for you and Betty

IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this the last battle can't be won.
You will be sad I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer so
When the time comes let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me to the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you too will see
It is a kindness you do to me
Though my tail it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been
Saved.
Don't grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We've been so close we two these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

May I Go Now?
by Susan A. Jackson
May I Go? May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain-filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go. I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day,
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and so afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you,
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you too.
That's why it's hard to say good-bye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now, just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

We'll be thinking of you and Betty with love. I have a whole houseful of
candles lit, so Betty will go to the bridge in a shower of light, light that
is filled with our love and gratitude for being such a wonderful master to
you.
