TILLIE WILLIE, SILLIE TILLIE,
although its been quite some time since I last seen you I still miss you sweetie.
You were my best friend through the childhood years.
I remember how you would know when there
was something under your dog pen you would
drag all your toys out and sleep on the ground with them
and dad would have to go out and move your pen.
Well sweetie everytime you were right,usually a field mouse would get under there and you were not willing to share
your house and all the times you would break loose
gather all your toys up and bring them to the front porch.
When we would get up there you would be sleeping on
the porch with all your toys.

The years went by and mom and dad got a divorce and I was forced to leave you there with dad because
of living in an apartment we couldn’t take you.
Every other weekend we would visit and you knew when
we were coming before we pulled in the driveway
you started dancing.
I would go straight from the car and wrap you
in my arms and just hug you and kiss you. 90% of the weekends were playing with you.
I use to hate Sundays as that was the time I had to say good-bye to you for another week.
The Sunday before Valentines day I hugged and kissed you, said my good-byes and told you I would see you in a week,
I sensed the sadness this time and it broke my Heart.
You did something you have never done before
as we pulled out of the driveway you watched
us the whole way down the road,I blew you kisses till I couldn’t see you anymore and I told dad you
must be sad to see me go,he agreed.
Valentines day came 2 days after seeing you and my dad
called mom at 6:00 in the morning and said you were lying on the side of the road,you were hit by a car.
And once again you had one of your toys right beside you.
What hurts the most is the toy you had is the one I brought to you that weekend.
I truley believe you were coming to find me.
In all the years you were with us you never left the yard,
this is another reason I think you were coming for me
I could tell you didn’t want me to go and had I known what lied ahead I would have never left you.

My heart still hurts when I think of you and till this day
I love you just as much as back then.
I know I will see you again one day,I will come
running to you and hug and kiss you
just like the old times.

 

Sleep Peacefully My Girl-
I love You
