Hi Isa. My name is Noah. I am 10 years old. My mom told me about you. I would like to ask you to tell my pet goat Mini (that has passed) that I want her to come back and that I miss her. I am too sad without her. Also that I remember the first time I saw her. I hope she remembers too. I also remember when she followed me to the bus stop and cried for me. I placed a cross I made above her stall to always be remembered. I see her picture on my dresser everyday and think of her and miss her so much my heart hurts.

Please help me heal from losing her.

Thank you.

Noah, Mini is not gone! She’s around you. Do you not realize that when you go to bed at night you feel someone with you? You feel something with you, comforting you, and she is like a nice warm snuggly blanket that comes to you. Her energy wraps around you and makes you feel safe at night. She’s not really anywhere away from you, she is completely with you.

She shows that she would like to present herself as a single flower and the flower she picks is a daisy. The one with the white petals and the yellow center. And she wants you to recognize that she’s going to bring that flower to you – or pictures of that flower to you – all the time to remind you that she’s with you. Because as much as you’re missing her, she is aching in her own being because you don’t realize that she’s right there with you. She can’t come back to you because she’s already there. So it’s kind of funny that you say you miss her because she’s away and you want her to come back because she’s already with you. How can you miss something that’s with you? Unless you don’t pay attention to it. If you pay attention to it, you won’t miss her because she’s right there.

I can feel the love that you shared with Mini and I recognize that your friendship is one that is linked in the heart. When the friendship is linked in the heart, it is eternal. It will never ever fade. It will never go anywhere. But if you preoccupy yourself with the concepts that that friendship is lost – which it isn’t because she’s right there with you – then you won’t allow any other friends to come into your heart. So think of all the other animals that will be saddened because you’re not opening to be their friends. I know I would like to have the opportunity to be your friend.

So please open your heart to others and not focus on the loss, focus on what else there is to be gained by accepting that Mini is with you and then enjoy those who want to come in and enjoy you as well. I hope you understand what I’m saying.

Really I want to tell you that you’re a beautiful boy. You have a beautiful heart and many need you and you need many. You don’t need one. One doesn’t need you. All need you. So please open your heart and allow those who are waiting – those animals who are waiting and those people who are waiting – to come in to enjoy you so that you can also enjoy them.

Thank you for your question. I am honored.
