07/27/2006: "For Bean • For Anne • For Chase and Charlotte"
We'll miss you Bean
Today we lite a candle for:
Metawrinkles Cocoa Bean of Hidden Haven
12/8/98-7/26/06
Not everyday is a happy day.
Today, for me, it's a sad one.

Today I heard that my friend Bean has become a new angel in Heaven.
Even though we never met, we shared many things in common and we are both kidney dogs too.
This Summer we got to meet and know your wonderful Mom; Anne, and she gave me the same love every morning, that Im sure she gave you each and every day. I got to learn all about you, and Chase and Charlotte too!
Even though we didn't formally meet, I'll miss you Bean. I'll miss the stories, the anecdotes and the news, but I know you are up there in Heaven running and playing again.
Bye for now Bean. I know I'll get to meet you some day.
Today, I walk with a slower step and with my head down low and think of all the wonderful things we have in our daily lives. Tonight Bean, we will light candles for you and share our moments and thoughts together with you and your mother Anne and your pei family Chase and Charlotte.
Like my Mom says;
There is a new Angel in Heaven today. Her name is Bean and her light is very, very bright.
Mei - Mei

NB: Visitors, please feel welcomed to add your comments or eulogy here.
This text and comments will be published into a commemorative book and sent to Anne and her family.
Thank you.

Even though we never met Bean, we feel that she was one of our family as are all our online pei friends. She is in our hearts and prayers. She left way too soon. Now she is there to lead other pei over the bridge. We miss you Bean.

How we were so affected by the passing of Bean.
Like Ben abd Bunnie say, we promise to look after your Mom, Chase and Charlotte.
We'll always be there for them Bean, even though we know you're up there checking in on them as often as you can.

The human-animal bond cannot be defeated by something as simple as death. Love defies death and crosses the boundaries. Pure love makes a fool of death. Death has not parted you. Bean is with you always.

Dear Bean, as you look down on us from above and run around pain-free, please remember that we are still experiencing the bittersweet pain of missing you while remembering the delight that you brought to everyone who knew you and heard of you. Run well, my child, and run for us.

The following words helped me when my dear Bas Noir transitioned on May 1 of this year. May they help you, too...
-Ted Shelton
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.

We never met, but I feel like I knew her from Ann's stories. We'll miss you, Bean, and we're sad for Ann because she loves you so much. But we're happy for you because you're no longer in pain and can run free and happy forever now.

Bean, your death was a shocker for me. I'm glad you went peacefully in your favorite yard. I hope you're hosting a pei-party in heaven. If you ever get to meet Tai Pan, Gazu or Charlie Brown in heaven, please send my love. I look forward to meeting you someday in heaven.
