Sparky
(Our little Benji)
It was only 9 months ago that we went to see you in the
back yard of the lady who adopted you to “A good home”
Boy what a loving home you came to!
Such a short life you had only 2 and a half years!
Only 9 months with us and the rest with an owner who didn’t
give you much time or affection.
I remember you crawling on your belly to Sarah our little girl
and then to me as we met you for the first time.
Your little black nose and beautiful “Sparkling” eyes.
We brought you home and Dad (me) was unwelcoming to you
for the first several months.
You worked your way into my heart and I adored you
like the rest of the family after while.
You used to love to play with Sarah and Tyler in the field
and you loved to go for car rides and bark at the people on bicycles
who seemed too close to your family in the Van.
You were so happy with your new life….and then you ran out
of the Van that fateful afternoon and got hit by the car .
You were too excited about seeing that other dog across the street.
You tried to stand up but the pain must have been so bad.
Sarah saw everything and she misses you sooo much.
We need you back .
We are so sorry we should have trained you not to go
running like that.
We want to hug you so much.
Tyler put you in your favorite blanked and wrote you a nice letter
as we buried you in the ground in our back yard.
I wish you were by the fireplace instead.
You will forever be in our hearts little guy.
You were our ‘Spark’ in life.
Please God let us see him again.
Love,
Dad Mom Sarah and
Tyler….. Forever
