Our Dearest Benson

It's still so hard to come to terms with your passing, six weeks after, your big brother, our beatiful Gus left us as well. Words can't describe the pain we feel, we know it will get better over time as our happy memories of you two take over when the sorrow subsides. We love you till the ends of time.

Special thanks to Dr Marshall, Dr Elieff and all the nurses & Staff at Ranford Veternay Hospital, we feel so privelaged that our boys were so well loved and looked after by you all.

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if Hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf - tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
(By Edgar Allan Poe)
