Tinkerbella: May 14,1997-October 18, 2005
On the morning of October 18, 2005, my baby girl went home to be with Jesus. My husband and I will forever be changed by just having Tinkerbella in our lives. This is her story:
She was the most loyal and loving creature that I have ever met in my entire life. I moment I laid eyes upon her in that litter of 12 puppies, I knew she was the one. From long skinny legs, chubby belly, and her little pointed head, I remember thinking I sure hope she grows out of that awkward stage, because she looked like a doberman instead of a rottweiller. She used to be so clumsy. She would bump her head on everything. I would pick her up so much that it made her under arms hurt. I taught her to hug, because she never liked to be picked up, even as she grew older. This was the only time she showed any kind of an attitude. My little girl made parents out of a childless couple. We had not been blessed with a child of our own, but we were blessed in having the opportunity to have been Tinkerbella’s parents. Her life was cut short by a terminal illness called cancer. But she will not be remembered as that dog that had cancer. She will be remembered as the Loving Daughter of Milfay and Misti Burton. This is for you my darling, Tinkerbella. Mommy and Daddy will be with you again someday, until then
we will miss you terribly.
Love Forever,
Mommy and Daddy Burton
In Memory of Tinkerbella
I remember the silly adventures we have had together. The embarrassing moments that gave me the giggles, and the magic moments when all we could do was laugh out loud. The long talks that was always sprinkled with laughter. You and I had so many reasons to laugh together. The funny things that just seemed funnier, when you were here. You helped find the laughter that was hidden during my darkest days. I’m grateful for all the laughter that you gave to me.
Love,
Mommy
With Love Forever,
