Fire of Avalon

There are times in your life when you cannot explain certain things.
Times when a feeling takes you by storm.
Be it a love for life … a love for something … a love for someone …
… or a love for that special creature that suddenly appears in front of you
and you know right away that a bond has been created for a lifetime.
And when that bond refers to an animal … a pet …
… a very special someone that you feel connected to
and that - for no explainable reason – gives you unconditional love,
at that very moment you know that that love will last forever.
Even if it is not your own pet … but that is nonetheless part of your life.
That’s what happened the first time I saw that little someone
with a name as mystical as himself: AVALON.
Fire of Avalon !
It was love at first sight.
I can’t say why, but you just had a special aura surrounding you.
An unexplainable light.
A tender sweet personality capable of drawing everyone’s attention in a second.
Such a handsome figure. As sweet as sweet can be.
A real beauty.
My Godson as I called you.
My dear friend Avalon.
The last time I saw you, I prayed for that not to be the last time in this lifetime.
But I was wrong.
But you will live in my heart forever.
I’ll never forget you for as long as I live.
You were … no, no, no … you ARE special !
I still did not stop crying since I heard the news.
But what comforts me is knowing thatyou will never be really gone
for as long as the people whose lives you touched remember you.
And I know that your spirit – physically and figuratively – will be alive …
... and that we’ll meet again one day.
So long buddy.
I love you.
Always and forever.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
