Nov. 11 1988 —- Still Alive
Schnauzer
In 1988 my oldest son Butch was killed in a car
accident he was 27 years old.
I told my husband and my only other child Freddie that I
wanted a puppy something to hold to cuddle…a baby to “mother”.
My husband said no my son said “go for it Mom I understand you
need this in your life right now.” I saw an ad in the paper about
a female Schnauzer who needed a home so I called the lady and
met her on my lunch hour at home. I immediately purchased this
darling shaking little fur ball asked my son to babysit her
and promptly went back to work.
I thought if I hurried I could make it home before my husband
and try to explain. When I got home he was already home and
very angry with me. He wouldn’t speak to me he wouldn’t have
anything to do with my baby girl whom I had named Chelsee.
This went on for almost a week I bonded with her my son bonded
with her but my husband just ignored us.
One evening when I got home from work little Chelsee was
excited to see me and I accidentally stepped on her little foot
she cried and ran to my husband begging sympathy.
He bent down and picked her up kissed her sweet face and
said to her “Did your mamma hurt you?”
They were buddies! I was so happy. She is such a part of our family
sleeps between us and when she wakes up in the morning
she stretches and rubs her little eyes with her paws.
Life was good but painful trying to cope with the loss of our son.
In 1995 my youngest son went home to be with the Lord
and his brother my world fell to pieces.
Little Chelsee has been with me through the death of both of
my children and continues to bring joy and love into my life.
I know this little girl was Heaven Sent to help me through the
painful nights without my precious sons so I want to
say thank you God for sending me this little
Schnauzer from Heaven..
