My precious Jake,

It is nearly a year since you went to Rainbow Bridge, and I find myself missing you even more than the first day. I find myself even longing to go on to The Bridge to meet you, but it’s not yet time. I miss our naps, your flaps. I miss the touch of your cold nose, the way you’d cuddle with me. I miss you on stormy days (you were so afraid of thunder.) I miss you EVERY day. When I go to bed at night, sometimes the light comes on beside my bed, and I know that you’re still here in spirit. I miss you and love you and so very much long to touch you and hold you again and get wet slobbery kisses. It won’t be long, Jake, and until then, I will miss you and keep you in my heart.

 

Always and forever,
Emily Hefner
