We lost Toby last July to bone cancer and for the first time, I had the vet cremate one of my animals so we could scatter his ashes.  We even bought a "Toby tree" - a Deodar Cedar, 6 ft tall, now planted in the lower yard where it sits, now festooned with bright white lights.  But... we've just never gotten around.. to the ashes.

So, today I'll gather hubby and daughter and we will walk down the
snow dusted yard to the Toby tree and read this poem and finally let
his ashes go.  But not his memory or the love.
