19 years ago today I brought you home from the shelter. NO WAY does it seem that long ago. It seems like only yesterday we started our journey together. I never imagined how close we could possibly be, but it was your love and your smarts and your intuitiveness that made everything so special between us. In hindsight, I see how dumb I was sometimes when you were trying to communicate something, how selfish I was at times, how ignorant of your suffering I sometimes was, and yet you were so patient and so forgiving of my mistakes.
I’d love to go back and “fix” the things I did wrong, or better yet, not to have done them, so I could be the perfect mom you deserved. Hope your life is perfect now in heaven. I’ll remember you every anniversary of my adopting you, and can’t wait to celebrate with you again in eternity. I LOVE you more each day, and miss you more as well. You were the best thing that ever happened to me.
Happy Anniversary Baby,
