Nov. 15 1995 —- Nov. 6 2001

I knew you were special when I got you on
Christmas Day in 1995.
You were just 6 weeks old but full of life.
From that day on I learned what unconditional love was.
I’ve had the hardest last five years of my life and you were
there for me the whole time.
When I was hospitalized for several months because of my
car accident I couldn’t care or see you.
Oh how I missed you so much…. just the thought that
you’d be there when I got out made my recovery all
the much faster.
You would take your walks around the neighborhood but no
matter how long you were gone you’d always come back home.
You were so talented you understood Korean and English…
Your vocabulary was so large you practically
understood everything.
You would never let me cry alone I miss you licking my tears
from my cheeks. You were so protective over me,
never let anyone hurt me…
I miss your warm fur comforting me at night.
Your deep sighs after a long day… Your smell and especially
your bark.
When I was in Europe I missed you more than my family.
I regret the day I left for Europe.
I didn’t even know you were sick or ill.
You seemed so healthy and happy who would’ve
known you were sick and in such pain.
I’m sorry and can’t forgive myself you passed away
without me by your side at home on November 06 2001.
There will be no other like you Poppy ya…
Until we meet on Rainbow Bridge I will keep you close
in heart forever.
I love you and always will till we
meet again!
Sonya
