Whitney, Genie and Hannah, last summer in 2008 we lost all three of you wonderful little girls. You were always there for us and you lived long lives but for us it is never long enough. Within just 10 weeks we lost all three of you. Hannah and Whitney you were over 16 1/2 and Genie you were 14 which were long lives for all of you. Hannah died on June 12, 2008 from kidney failure and her daughter Genie died on July 24, 2008 from kidney failure and on August 28, 2008 Whitney died from the complications of old age.
This has been a very hard year for all of us and I just wanted to write a story so that you know that we still think of each one of you every day. We smile more now than we did last summer but there are still many tears at times as we think of our great loss. I know that we were blessed to have each of you with us for so long and share our lives. This family will never be the same without you. Each of you have a memory box with lots of things that were important in your lives like pieces of your blankets, pictures, letters and cards we got when you left us and your collars and tags.
I think that as time goes by we remember more and more happy things about you and the joy you have given us for so many years. I have your pictures for me to see every day and that brings peace to me. It goes without saying that last summer was just a terrible time in our lives. I think that all of you are happy and free now and together and when I look up at the sky and see the bright stars, I think of you and have to smile. Girls, you gave us so many years of happiness and now you are all together again along with Abby, Max, Jack, Louie and the others that came before them.
I know that my life would not have been full without all of you here to enjoy and love. It has been a great experience being with you for so many years. You are here with us in spirit and will never be forgotten.
Thanks for being my little friends for so many years. I will never forget my little Yorkie girls. It has been one of my greatest joys to have known and loved you. It has been one of my greatest sorrows to lose the three of you. You are forever in my heart until we meet again.
Love to my Yorkie Girls,
| Whitney, Genie and Hannah |
