This is a tribute to one of the sweetest purest forms of love. Sadie and I found each other at a kill shelter. She had been taken from a home due to abuse. You would have never known that she had been abused by anyone. Her love was endless and her sweetness showed through her beautiful eyes and her loving personality. They say she was eleven months of age. I have no way of knowing…but it did not matter. I loved her from the beginning…and I loved her more in the end. Sadie even looked like a little girl dog in the face. In my eyes…she was beauty and love in its purest form
Sadie gave me eight of the most loving years. She never asked for anything..but a kind hand…and love. She gave more to me than I could have ever given back to her.
Sadie fought a long battle with a horrific disease. Her courage and love was admired by all that took care of her. The disease started on May 8 and the fear it brought into my heart was realized..when I had to end her suffering on June 15th. The disease started as IMT..but in the end..the IMHA took her life. She deserved more years…and if I could I would have given her all my strength to save her.
I will remember most..Sadies sweet kisses. How she always comforted me..and made me feel loved. I will miss Sadie for the rest of my life. I pray in those last minutes..she felt my love..and knew I was letting her go..to end her pain..not because I did not want her here with me. If I could..I would have kept her with me forever. I will love my Sadie Sue..until the day I die. I hope she is there to greet me..and give me her sweet Sadie kisses when it is my time.
Sadie..mom will always love you. There will not be a day that my heart will not miss you nor send you my love. Run free from pain now little girl..and know you will forever and ever remain a part of my heart. I love you Sadie..today..tomorrow and always.

In loving memory of Sadie Sue…
Her mom in heart forever….
Heavens Door……
If I should go before you..
If life on earth were through
I’ll stop just inside heavens door
and there I’ll wait for you.
You’ve but to look ‘cross star
filled skies
Past the moon and then beyond..
To know my leaving
could never break
This hearts undying bond.
And if you should go before me….
If your journey on earth were through;
you know I will be close behind
I’ll never be far from you.
Across the span of time and space
This love will reach this far.
For you will always carry
a bit of my heart
No matter where you are.
We’ve no way of knowing
who will remain
or who will go on before;
But if you should go first
you’ll find love there
I’ll be there waiting
just inside heavens door.

Wait for me sweet Sadie. For until we are together again..the chain of our love is not complete. I hugged you close in those last seconds..I hope you felt my love. Letting you go baby girl…has hurt my heart..and I miss you each second of the day. Coming home without you here..brings tears and if I could..I would reach through the stars and hold you in my arms and tell you what a special baby girl you are. I hope you knew..and I hope my love made you as happy as yours did me.
Come in my dreams..
and remember always..
mama loves you baby girl.
Mom…..
