Only a week and a day have gone by since your passing, but it feels like an eternity!!! Although we knew for 7 1/2 months that you would soon be leaving us, it didn’t make your parting any easier. Bethani asks where you are often; Ruger, our westie and Bailey, your step-granddaughter dobie, both look for you every day and miss their playmate. Bailey is my new little shadow trying to take care of us in your place and also wants us to take care of her. You were her mentor, and she misses you also. If she grows up to be 1/2 as good as you; she will be GREAT!!
Me, I think I miss you the most as you were the best friend I ever had and I also considered you my daughter. It is hard going to bed at night and seeing your empty pillow and I can still smell you on your blanket. I know you are no longer in pain, and that is the only thing that helps me to deal with this; but how will I ever go on without our long walks in the summer sun, and going camping with you as my sidekick (I always loved showing you off at every campground we went to)…I miss our routines and just plain loving you up every chance I got….no one or nothing will ever compare to the love we shared. Thru all of my years, there has never been another like you, nor will there ever again. I truely believe we were soul mates. I thank you for all the love and laughter you brought into my life; and for showing me there is such a thing as unconditional love. I will always miss you………..
In my heart always and forever
