Devon, today (September 17th, 2004) marks the one month anniversary of your tragic leaving of this earth. I know you are safe and happy at the Rainbow Bridge but you’ll never know what losing you has done to my heart and soul. It has changed my life dramatically and always will weigh heavy on my mind what could have been.
We had a special and unique bond that I long for so desperately but know sadly will never have again. I owe so much to you Devon for showing and teaching me all about friendship, respect, loyalty, and unconditional love.
You were extremely good at all of these too by the way. I’m still so angered for you having to leave so soon but I guess it’ll have to be dealt with, I just haven’t figured out how…the short 13 months I was blessed with you in my life will play over and over in my mind from now until my last day here.
I just can’t get over not being able to walk with you, hug you, sit beside you, but most of all talk to you. You were and always will be my one true “best” friend. You carried yourself in such a bold, confident, and dignified manner.
I know you wouldn’t want me to be so upset Devon and I’m working hard everyday to reach some relief from all this grief.

I would like to let you know that you have a baby sister and her name is Bailey. She is so cute Devon. She looks exactly like you and strangely does some of the same bizarre things you used to do. I do love Bailey and thank her everyday for bringing me out of a very depressed stage. And sometimes I can feel you around me through Bailey.

I love and miss you so much Devon and thank you for picking Bailey out for me. I wish you’d come visit as much as possible because it feels good to laugh at some of the things that she does that has to be you because I’ve never seen another do these unique little funnies.
So to close this Devon I would just like you to know that from the first time I laid eyes on you at 6 weeks old I’ve loved you with all my heart and then some. I’ve admired you for carrying yourself the way you did especially at the most needed times.

And for your loyalty to me I will always love you and you will be remembered With
Utmost Respect, Devon.

 

All My Love To You Only,
Cathi Green
