Laddie by Kathryn

You Are Not Forgotten

My dear sweet Laddie so many years have passed by since I lost you. So many things have happened. When you died I could not put a tribute on here to you because mummy didn’t have a computer then and I’m not even sure if there was anywhere to put a tribute for you but this is just for you darling to let you know you are remembered and still loved as much as ever.

Your picture still hangs on the wall in Paul’s bedroom. You were supposed to be his dog but you were mine too ,and I loved you so all these years and the tears still flow for you. I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you home and bury you in the garden. You were too big instead I buried you in my heart. I still have your collar and lead. I’m sorry but Toby got your toys and he ripped them up playing with them but I’m sure you wouldn’t have minded as you used to let him share them and what do I want with your toys when all I really want is you. We had some fun Laddie. You and Paul grew up together. What a lovely life we shared.

When you were a baby we called you little fat face. You had such a lovely chubby face and when you grew up oh how you used to protect us all. People were scared of you yet you wouldn’t hurt a soul. Well all that’s gone now baby. Toby’s in heaven with you and your daddy and I have another dog same breed as you a little girl called Lassie. She looks just like you but please don’t ever think you are forgotten. You were my special Laddie and I was very proud of you. I loved you dearly then and I love you dearly now.

Thanks for waiting patiently for your own special tribute. Hope it makes you happy to know you are still loved until we meet again be a good boy and wait for me. Thank you for all the memories.

Goodnight God Bless Laddie.

I miss you love from mummy.
