My Toby Jo,
You were my best friend, my constant companion for 11 years of my life. I miss you terribly. You shared my joys- and you got me through the darkest of days. I believe God brought you and I together because He knew how much we would share. You brought so much happiness and love into this world. I will never forget how high you could jump to catch a frisbee- or the long afternoons we would play ball in the pool or in the yard. I miss hearing your contented and deep exhale as you would lay down by me every night before drifting off to sleep- and the excited circles you would spin before eating a piece of cheese.
I don’t think you ever really knew what cheese tasted like because you were so quick to grab it and swallowed it. You slept on my T-shirt every night while I was deployed overseas- and waited at the flightline for my return when you went to work with me.
I miss you Toby, but I know you are happy in the Meadows of Rainbow Bridge. I know you can see clearly now, I know the pain is gone, but I hope that even with all the happiness the Meadow brings, you miss me. Keep watching for me, Toby.
I’ll be there when God decides my time here is finished. Don’t forget me- I won’t forget you. And if I can figure out a way to do so, I’ll bring a ball and a piece of cheese for you.
I miss you
