Cinnamon by Joyce Hood

To our beloved Cinnamon, we will never forget your wonderful loving ways and the way you looked into our eyes with love and pleasure of our sharing each others company. How you loved to get on the couch and lay beside me while I relaxed or watched T. V. Your personality was unique, your total love and giving yourself. You were timid and never would hurt anything. You loved the whole family kids, and grandkids. You were gentle and so very beautiful inside and out. I will always love you forever and ever. I was devastated when you got out of the gate one night during a storm (We did not know you were gone until morning). We searched and searched but we could not find you. When we finally came across you lying along the side of a road, lifeless, we knew you had been hit by a car because you did not know what traffic was. You were so innocent. I can not hardly bear the grief I have felt from loosing you.Why couldn’t we have gotten to you in time to save you? I know you were scared. You had never been out of the yard. You were always scared of strangers and the unknown.Our pain is unbearable when we think of what you had to go through and the pain you must have felt when you were hit and all alone. We are so grateful we have your puppy (Abby).We have put a padlock on the gate for Abby and Lady. They miss you too. We all stood beside the road sobbing when we found you. Cinnamon we will always love you.The white cross we put on your grave is a symbol of the love you gave us and we will always be grateful.
