Two Months Ago from November 3, 2005

On November 3, two months since Crockett was hit and killed, I was on my way to pick up my cousin to take her out for her Birthday (for 1 month we're the same age, then she turns a year older). Driving to her house, I happened to look up in the sky and saw what appeared to be an outline of clouds that circled around to form a human form. Where the face was, were cumulus clouds in the shape of a dogs head. The 'nose' of the head was turned as if kissing the face of the outlined shape.

As soon as I saw it, I knew in my soul (see the story of Friendship in September's posts to this blog) that was Crockett giving me a gentle kiss on the lips. His kisses were special times, because he didn't always give them. The last evening of his life, while driving home, I recall him kissing me three or four times. THAT was unusual for him. Maybe he knew that was his last night on earth. When I recognized the clouds as Crockett's kiss, tears rolled down my face. All I could do was thank God for the 'cloud kiss' from Crockett, two full months from the day of his death (9/3/05).

Later that evening, around 11:30 PM, I went to Crockett's gravesite and talked to him. Tears again flowed. Tears of "I miss you forever." And I do. I miss Crockett forever and I know that one day we'll be together. Because dogs DO go to heaven. And I'm headed there in about 38 years or so.
