My sweet Blackie.

You and your brother Alfred were my life.

I thank God that He let me have you for 9 years.

When your Daddy left in April 2000 your were stuck

taking care of mommy all the time.

I could always count on you to cuddle with me and kiss

away my tears.

You gave me the baby I’ll never have.

You were my baby and I miss you more than words can say.

The day after your 9th birthday party you got sick.

After seeing 5 doctors Dr. Sheehy said it was cancer.

Never in a million years did I expect you to get sick.

I tried everything I could to give you a few months with no

pain but you only lived for a few days. I came to pick you up

to take you home. We thought the chemo was working but I

realized you were having problems breathing.

Blackie putting you to sleep was the hardest thing mommy has ever

had to do. I know daddy wouldn’t come but Grandpa Aunt Robin

and Uncle Todd were there. I held you and sang your favorite songs.

When you slipped away so did your mommy.

I will never be the same without you my sweet Black Lab with

the velvet ears and heart of GOLD.

We all miss you and I know God has you and He is very lucky to have

such a special pup I’m sure he knew that.

Take care of yourself and your new friends. Someday my sweet baby

mommy will be able to hold you again sing to you again,

kiss you again and we will be together forever.

I need your brother to look after us and God willing,

Alfred will take care of mommy for a long time from now.

Forgive me if I didn’t do enough for you or if I did too much to save you.

I’d do anything for my baby.

I love you Blackie

I will NEVER forget the life we had together.

Thank You for being my son.

Jill
