I think of you, my Bailey, all the time, but as the 1st anniversary of your passing approaches I find myself trying harder to remember the happy care-free days rather than the difficult 19 day battle you endured like a champ during your fight with ITP. Each day together with you was a very happy day. Tonight, 9/28, actually marks the night I had to admit you to the hospital last year and unfortunately we were not able to come back home together, they way we left.
Recently, I found this picture of you on an old laptop. I took this on the first night you came home with me as a puppy–it was our first night together. This is the memory that I am going to hold close to my heart tonight as I go to sleep next to our puppy, Champ, who is named after you and the way you fought when you were sick.
Remember Bailey....I love you bigger than the Universe and infinitely more...I always have and always will...
