Little Lord Sebastian by Sharon Wells-Mamaw

MY PRECIOUS LITTLE LORD SEBASTIAN
“SWEET BABY BOY”

HOW DO I EVEN START TO TO PUT INTO WORDS WHAT YOUR LITTLE LIFE MEANT TO ME. THERE SEEMS NO WAY. YOU GAVE ME A GIFT OF LOVE THAT I HAD NOT KNOWN IN SO MANY YEARS. YOU WERE THE ESSENCE OF INNOCENSE UNCEASABLE JOY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND TREASURED MEMORIES. INTO OUR LIVES YOU JOINED US AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT AND MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE YOU BECAME
THE BEST GIFT EVER TO HAVE.

YOU WERE A BIG FOUR POUNDS AT MATURITY WITH A BARK THAT WOULD SCARE OFF ANY MAN OR BEAST. YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD TAKE ON THE LARGEST OF ANIMALS IF OUR SAFETY WAS THREATENED. YOU WERE QUIET A CHARACTER ONCE YOU FELT SAFE AND SECURE IN YOUR OWN LITTLE HOME OR WHEN YOU AND I WERE IN MY CAR DRIVING SOMEWHERE. WE WENT TO VISIT YOUR MOMIE AT WORK TOOK IN AFTERNOON MOVIES WENT SHOPPING AND INTO RESTURANTS.

ONCE AT THE MOVIES A DOG BARKED ON SCREEN AND YOU JUMPED UP AND BARKED BACK. I HAD TO HIDE YOU FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT. YOU LOVED TO EAT POPCORN AND EAT ICE AS WE WATCHED. WHEN YOU WOULD VISIT WITH ME I WOULD ALWAYS FEED YOU FRESH BAKED CHICKEN. THAT WAS A FAVORITE AND YOU SAT IN MY LAP AS YOU PAPAW AND I ATE DINNER. THEN WE WOULD PLAY WITH YOUR TOY FOR A WHILE AND WHEN IT WAS BEDTIME YOU WERE SO HAPPY.

MOST OF ALL YOU LIKED IT JUST YOU AND ME. WE WERE TRUE SOUL MATES FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENT OUR EYES MET. SO MANY TIMES I WOULD GO AND GET YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE ALONE AND I WAS TOO. I WOULD WALK OUTSIDE AND HOLD YOU. AS I WOULD LOOK INTO THE HEAVENS I COULD NOT HELP THE TEARS THAT WOULD FLOW FROM MY EYES AS MY HEART WAS BROKEN. YOU SEEMED TO SENSE THE LONELY ACHING I HAD AND WOULD BE SO PRECIOUS TO LOOK INTO MY EYES AND LICK MY SALTY TEARS. YOU TRUSTED ME WITH ALL YOUR LITTLE HEART AND
I LOVED YOU SO DEARLY.

YOUR LITTLE LIFE TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF MANY. EVEN BIG MAMAW LOVED YOU AND FOR HER THAT MEANT YOU MUST BE SPECIAL. YOU SOFTEN THE HEART OF UNCLE SCOTTY WHO HAD NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF PETS UNLESS THEY WERE BIG DOGS THAT WERE MADE TO BE MEAN. YOU CHANGED HIS MIND AND HEART WHEN HE VISITED WITH YOUR MOMIE LAST WINTER. RECENTLY HE WAS OFFERED A PUPPY THAT WAS A BULL DOG AND HE ANSWERED NO. HE SAID HE REALLY WANTED A “SWEETIE” PUPPY. NOW WE WON’T GET ANY OF YOUR PUPS. YOU NEVER EVEN HAD A CHANCE
TO GET ONE FOR US.

DARLING YOU WERE CERTAINLY
AN HONOR TO YOUR SIRE NAME:

LITTLE LORD SEBASTIAN.

YOU WERE A GREAT CONQUEROR IN YOUR LIFETIME AS IF YOU WENT TO MANY BATTLES. YET YOU NEVER HURT ANYONE. YOU WERE A CONQUEROR OF HEARTS. THAT IS IN EVERY HEART THAT YOU KNEW. OH MY BABY BOY I HAVE CRIED SO MANY TEARS FOR YOU AND MISS YOU SO. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY ANY OF US BUT DEFINITELY NOT BY ME BECAUSE YOU WERE TRULY MY LITTLE SOUL MATE.

I HAVE A CALENDER THAT I FLIP EVERY DAY AND IT HAS THE DATE AND A BIBLE VERSE ON IT. THE NIGHT YOU DIED I WAS LOOKING AT THE DATE-WHEN I JUST TURNED IT OPPOSITE AND THE PAGE THERE WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY. I COULD NOT HOLD BACK THE TEARS AS THIS REASSURED ME THAT WE HAD A BOND THAT GOES MUCH DEEPER THAN MERE FRIENDSHIP.

YOU WERE PART OF MY SOUL AND OF THAT I AM SURE. I AM SO PLEASED TO HONOR YOU ON THE MEMORY OF PETS WEBSITE BECAUSE I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU STILL AND I FEEL SURE THAT YOU ARE RESTING NOW WAITING FOR THE MOMENT THAT JESUS WILL WAKE YOU AND TELL YOU IT IS TIME FOR ME TO CROSS THE BRIDGE AND HE WANTS YOU TO BE THERE WITH HIM TO BRING ME ACROSS. THERE WE WILL HAVE SO MUCH JOY.

WE WILL PLAY AND SING AND DANCE UNTO THE LORD. EVERYTHING WILL BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN WE CAN EVEN IMAGINE. WE WILL SING GODS PRAISE FOREVER AND NEVER KNOW ANOTHER TEAR OR WORRY. WE WILL SEE ALL OF OUR FRIENDS THAT HAVE HELPED MAMAW TO LOOK AHEAD WITH ANTICIPATION TO OUR REUNION IN HEAVEN. YOU CAN LET MY DADDY AND ALL OF MY GONE ON LOVED ONES’ KNOW I AM COMING. THANK GOD DARLING WE HAVE A PROMISE OF A EVERLASTING LIFE THAT WILL BE WONDERFUL WHEN WE ARE ALL TOGETHER.

SO MY BABY BOY- SHINE ON UP HIGH IN THE SKY AND KNOW I WILL LOOK FOR YOUR TWINKLE EACH TIME I LOOK INTO THE HEAVENS. YOU ARE THE GREATEST GIFT OF LOVE THAT I HAVE KNOWN. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU MY DARLING. I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES AND THE WAY YOUR HAIR SEEMED TO KEEP THEM HID. MISSING YOU ALSO ARE
