Winston was truly one of the best friends I’ve ever had. I believe he came into our lives for a reason – he taught us how to be parents and how to slow down to appreciate the small things in life, like the smell of the fresh air, or a bird singing, or the sound of leaves rustling in the yard. It was almost as if his mission was accomplished and it was time for him to go. I don’t think it was a coincidence that our daughter started to walk only days before he died on December 12, 2009. I know that time will heal and our pain is just a reflection of how deeply we loved him – just as he loved us, unconditionally. We are comforted in knowing that he lived a happy and full life in his almost 4 years, and when he died, he was doing one of the things he loved best – taking a walk with me.
With Love,
| Winston |
