My beloved Quincy,

Another day has come and gone.
It seems like yesterday I held your
sweet body in my arms.
You looked into my eyes
as you were taking your last breath.
I whispered” I love you, baby”
You seemed to say “I love you, mommy”,
Then with a gentle sigh
you gave up your spirit.

Your brothers grieve as well as we.
Brother BooBoo crawled next to your
still lifeless body
and kissed your face.
Was it the kiss of life or did he
just want to play?
Then the next morning BooBoo grew quiet,
I saw him from afar touch your picture
with his paw.
Now there is an emptiness
where our hearts use to be.

When I cry and ask God why.
He gently reminds me of my prayer.
Many months ago grandson Dalin passed away.
I prayed God would bless Dalin
with a pet of his own.
He did. Now Dalin has you.

TIL WE MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE

Brothers BooBoo,Zuzu,Quinny,Daddy and Mommy
