Babbs,
You have almost been gone a year.
It is a year of deep grief for me. I don’t think there has been a day that I haven’t thought of you or tried to remember you in the house or outside.
Rides in the car to see Jackie and your cousins just isn’t the same and the trip seems so much longer. I know you were sent to me at a time in my life when I needed you the most. And I guess God knew that it was time that you leave me…that your job was done.
I thank you the most for 2 things…
1- Getting through all the loved ones’
deaths with me…esp my Mom.
2- Staying alive with me while I finished Nursing School. I never would have made it without you reminding me to take a break and spend time with YOU. I love you for that.
I know you are at peace. I know you are home. I know you are safe, warm, loved and well cared for.
I see now that if you had a longer life span I would have died myself after losing you…although I think that special part of me died with you last August. You were the best dog. I could not have “ordered” up a dog as good as you.
I miss you terribly. And always will. But a new chapter in my life has begun…as it did when you entered my life. I know you would want me to be happy and not so sad about your departure. For after all…we did have a great life together even if it was for such a short period of time.
I know that the God I believe in will not want us to do without such a love in eternity…so until then I trust Him to take care of you I will see you so very soon
Bunches of Love and Kisses,
