We are glad that for a portion of your life you shared it with our Meadowsweet Ranch Family. Please know that you are missed and are thought about often.

TOM
Tom and Nan became a part of the Meadowsweet Family in 2003 and left during 2005 due to some special needs of Tom’s. They left the midwest and moved out east together.
Their time together there has ended with crossing the rainbow bridge. The following is a poem that Nan wrote to Tom December 2009, and one of her favorite pictures of Tom as he is most remembered by her and his most recent friends.

TO TOM
Tom this will be my first Christmas without you, and I miss you so
I wish that you were standing here beside me, not sleeping in your grave beneath the snow
We traveled a long road together, my dearest trusting friend
I knew your time on earth was waning, but I prayed it would not end
Each time I touch your halter, I can’t believe that you’re not here
My mind knows that you have left me, but my heart says that you are near
I’d gladly pay a fortune just to feel your warm breath once again in my hair
Last night I dreamed I held you, but when I awoke you were not there
I often touch my bracelet, woven from your tail
And each time I caress it, I feel my heart take sail
To a green hillside in heaven where I know you wait for me
At the end of your rainbow, now healthy and free

THOMAS MARCH 13, 1980 TO OCTOBER 5, 2009
