Firefly Glen [PHE] kru

He couldn't hardly believe it, but it was all true. He didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't deny the truth. 

He could feel his chest tightening. His heart racing in his chest, sadness flooding every part of him. At only a touch of her paw, did a small smile return. He knew it wouldn't help anyone if he fell to pieces here and now. 

John's ocean eyes met her golden gaze, his full of love, a nearing grief, oh, and how he wished to find peace in her words.

"it's the end and i have to accept it." --- "and you do also, john," --- "this is the plan god has for me."

How could he accept it? After everything they had been through, the journey they made and how far they had come. He loved his Lord, with every fibre of his very being, and while he would always remain loyal to Him, trust in Him, it would take him time to recover from this part of His plan. Maybe this was a test, but he could never truly know.... 

"Heda," he paused as he sniffled, holding back an incoming sob, "I - I...." And finally, he admitted it, something held deep in his heart came on a whisper: "I love you." 

After she had finished her story, she laid her glorious head upon his shoulder, to rest. She seemed to be at peace, if only for a short while. And he tried, he tried his best to find peace in this moment, even as tears ran down his face. He leaned into her, lying peacefully in the grass, as the sunshine warmed them... for the last time.
