Dearest Jumbo,
It has been 4 long months without you my side. My whole being aches for your little fuzzy face to gaze into my eyes once more. The tears still come often though smiles too when I remember all the many wonderful, treasured moments we shared in almost 17 years together.
Yes,life carries on yet I know in my heart I will ache for you all of my life. I imagine that I feel you in my arms and feel you on my lap. I hear your ‘seal’ bark. I see your smiling face. I feel your fur. I smell you! All the many times I buried my face in your fur. The times you licked my tears the times you smiled and wagged your tail endlessly.
I hear you on stormy nights pacing and panting and hoping with me that it would end soon. Then you would rest and fall asleep in my arms and snore. I see you running like a crazy terrier just full of life and enjoying life here on the farm. How I love you Jumbo! How I miss you Jum’s! Wish you would lick the tears that are falling now and forever.
You were one in a trillion.
Thanks for you Jumbo.
