OMG it's back

The anniversaries are hard.

Rest peacefully, sweet Heart. {{{{{{{Diane}}}}}}}

Oh Nancy, I am so, so sorry. You have my prayers, and my deepest sympathy.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Happy Birthday, Kim!

Beatrice, Happy, happy 13th birthday, sweetheart. How I wish you could have stayed with us to celebrate it! We miss you every day. Marbles looks around for you every time he roos, since you were the only one who would sing with him. I still get four treats out of the treat jar at bedtime; Rhemus usually gets yours--it keeps him from stealing Vixen's. The boys are a mess since you're gone. They need their mama dog to keep them in line; if there's any way you could have a talk with them from wherever you are, Mommy would appreciate it! Daddy finally filled in the big hole you dug in the backyard. It made me cry. I hope they have lots of dirt for you to dig up at the Bridge! People here on GT talk about seeing rainbows that their Bridge Kids sent. Do you remember the carousel horse with the prism in it that's stuck to the kitchen window? The one that's been there for years? Well, it's been spraying rainbows all over the kitchen since about a week after you left, baby, and it never did before in all the years it's been there. Mommy loves you so much--I'll see you again someday.

Oh, Jessie

I think about Emily and Beatrice every day of my life. It amazes me how even three and a half years later, thinking of Em can make me cry, and having only lost Beatle a short while ago, that pain is still so fresh as well. We lost them both so suddenly--I don't know if my heart can ever truly heal. I'm so thankful, though, for the time we had with each of them, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world; I only wish we'd had more of it.

Happy 5th birthday, beautiful Wiley.

Thinking of you.

Diane, I'm so sorry. Solomon spent the last year (almost!) of his life in the best place he possibly could have--with you. Seems like I've said this so much lately: No matter how long they stay, it's never long enough. Rest peacefully, Sweet Solomon.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Beatrice taught us that no matter how bad things in your life become, it's possible to learn to love and trust again. May she be happy and loved, as she was in life, wherever she is now; and may we be with her again someday.

Heaven has three more angels.

I'm so sorry; you have my deepest sympathy. These angels of ours never stay long enough. Rest peacefully, Miss Sissy.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I still cannot believe she's gone. She was running around playing in the back yard just Friday afternoon. We thought she would live forever, I guess, or maybe we just wanted her to. I think it will be a long time before I can think of her without tears for her last days. I'm struggling with the decision we made for her, even though I'm sure it was the right one--We loved her with all our hearts and miss her with all our hearts, too.

I have no words.

We've been thinking about you; you've been in our prayers.

Poor sweet Flynn. May he be at peace.

Rest peacefully, little one.

I'm so sorry. Run with the angels, sweet Bomber.

Wonderful stories; what a wonderful boy he was.

I'm so sorry, Vicki. You have my prayers, and my deepest sympathy. Rest peacefully, sweet Kim.
