Farley by Justine Lello / Mama

My darling Farley, who is an angel now, but certainly was an angel when she was here with me. She taught me so much, but most importantly, she taught me that I could love. She was so wise, so intuitive, and she never ceased to amaze me with her intelligence. Farley was so in tune with me, her mama. She knew, sometimes before I did, what I needed. Farley showed me the unconditional love that an animal can give; and that it is never ending. She devoted her whole life to me, and me to her, and our devotion to each other resulted in an unusual, very cohesive bond that is not seen very often. My vet described mine and Farley’s relationship and bond as a love story.

Farley made a huge impact on my life when she was here, and she will continue to make an impact now that she’s in heaven. She taught me about life, love, and relationships-more than any person ever could have taught me. She also taught me about bravery and courage, and being able to move forward in the face of our fear. She was so intelligent and wise beyond her years. Everyone should have had the opportunity to meet my angel Farley and learn from her. She touched so many lives, and I know she will be reaching down from heaven and continue to touch lives and teach us important lessons.

May my baby girl be in a better place now, free of all bodily pain. May she spend all her days using her now pain free hips, and basking in the sun, which she so loved to do. May she always know how much her mama loved her-worshipped her-and may she always know how amazingly special she was and still is to her mama. Finally, may she always know that she will always have a special place in my heart, my love for her is constant, unwavering, and unchanging, and she will always be the light of my life.

 

I love you always and forever, and more than life itself,
Farley
