To my dearest Dakota,

Your going to Rainbow Bridge has temporarily separated us in this life,

my love for you will always be.

This is a love that will endure past separation and for all time.

This is a love of hearts and souls.

You saw me through when my world would surely crush any spirit.

You were always there when I needed you to lick away

my tears and make me smile.

You gave me a reason to come home knowing when I got there

you were waiting for me.

How very special you made me feel.

I hope the seven years we spent together were as

special to you as they were to me.

I miss you still and always will.

I hope the sadness I feel will be replaced with all the joy you

shared with me one day. It’s hard to smile now

knowing I’ll never hug you again (in this life) and to find joy.

I’m trying hard to live my life through the simple joys you taught me.

I’m making a memory jar about you.

Inside you’ll find all the goofy and wonderful things you did.

All those things that made you so unique.

Now time has come for me to stand alone and be strong

for one day soon we’ll see each other again.

For me tomorrow wouldn’t be soon enough.

I want you to live love and be happy. (I’ll try too).

You be a good boy and mommy will see you soon.

Oh Dakota have a wonderful birthday too.

The candle in the window is for you.

I’ll never forget you and all the time we shared.

I love you Dakota.

Mom
