To my little Angel, Ginger Ellen:
Mommie misses and loves you so very much and I am waiting for our great union when we can all be together once again. I think back to the day when you came to me. You were abused and neglected, Mommie was only going to foster you, but you didn’t want to go with anybody else because you were so afraid of strangers. Mommie decided to keep you. You were and always will be such a sweetheart.
You had all kinds of pet names ……one of your favourites was Ju Ju Bean, or Jelly Bean…. because you were just as sweet if not sweeter. I shall never forget the day you went to get spayed. A friend brought you to the vets and was picking you up the next day. She called to tell me you ran away and went into the woods and nobody could get you to come to them. Mommie was so upset I went to the neighbors to bring me down there….I was so worried you would get hurt. I will never forget pulling into the driveway at the vet’s office and a man came running to me to tell me there was a dog in the woods and she won’t come out. He didn’t know you were Mommie’s. I hollered your name…..Ginger Ellen…. a couple of times, and your head popped up out of the grass and you came running into my arms. You were wiggling and were so happy to see Mommie that you kissed my face and glasses so much I couldn’t even see to get in the car. If you only knew how happy your Mommie was to get you home safe and sound, where you belonged.
You brought so much joy to my life, you did so many funny things, that I will never, ever forget and you will always have a special place in my heart. The years always seem to go so fast, you were always such a good little girl. It was always so funny and cute when company came over you would run up to them and bark and then run and hide. You were letting them know even though you didn’t like strangers in the house, YOU were still in charge. When I held you in my arms you knew you were safe, and Mommie felt safe having you with me.
When it was your time to go, you were trying to tell Mommie, you were trying to find your own place to go, until Mommie could see what was happening. I cried so hard and you watched the tears running down my cheeks, but I know you were trying to tell me you would be ok. You are with your brothers and sisters now on the farm, but I know you have not left me here….I can feel your presence. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, Little Angel. You brought Mommie so much joy and happiness that it was a pleasure and honor for me to say…. I was your Mommie.
I LOVE YOU, My little Angel, Mama misses you so very, very much, but the day will come and we will be together again……never to part. Please be watching for your Mommie at the Rainbow Bridge, my little Sweetheart, until that day comes, you will live in my heart forever and ever.
I LOVE YOU, SWEET LITTLE ANGEL…..MY SWEET LITTLE JU JU BEAN!!!
WITH ALL MY LOVE,
