WOW ... that's amazing with the deer. Mine isn't quite so ... earthy. There was one slave I had ... she came to us and served us for almost 7 years. She got sick (cancer). I pulled back alot on her duties, on where she slept and even scene work. The Chemo was so horrifying for her. She lost her hair, her skin tone was very pale and the weight just kinda vanished. I'll never forget the day she died as long as I live. I was with her through all of this, as was my Husband. Mostly it was Me though. I sat beside her bed, I tried several times to remove the collar so she would feel more comfortable. She told me not to do that, it was hers, she had earned it. I remembered smiling, then feeling like I wanted to crawl in a hole and die. That evening, I was resting beside her, with my head on her bed. I felt her fingers in my hair and raised my head and looked at her. She smile at me and said ... "You have been the one shining moment in my life. You have been my friend, my Owner, my life and my love. You taught me what it means to truly give. Until this moment, I didn't realize that You have done nothing but give back to me all these years. I will always be your Angel." When she took her last breath ... she was looking at Me. THAT is the greatest feeling in the world. Through all the pain, all her suffering, her last thought/vision was ... Me. None one has ever cared like that. Her name, given by Me when she earned her House Collar ... was Angel.
