Gr8NCGreys Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) I dont post much here, but there are a few left on here who still know me. So I will share what I posted on my groups message board. 12/13/95 - 08/11/07 My sweet girl went to the bridge last night. It was not as I wanted it to be, planned with a night out for Chick-fil-a and ice cream. But Russell and I were there with her until she took her last breath. She and I looked into each other eyes until she was gone. Jilli my friend, my protector, my heart and my strength I will miss you. You knew that I would have to be smacked in the head and given no other choice in order to make the final decision and that is the way it was. From our first meeting to the last good bye you had it your way. From smacking me literally in the forehead to tell me I was yours to the horrible events of today you were in control. You were my independent fiesty girl. You and I were soulmates, we had a connection like no other. I am sorry I could not fix this. It was my job to make sure you were taken care of and did not suffer. I did everything I could baby girl and I love you. My heart is broken but I know you are healthy and whole again at the bridge with your brothers and sisters and many others that have gone before. You will be in my heart forever. Watch over all of us. Keep your brothers safe and in line. Here are a few pictures of my baby girl from the beginning through the end. Gotcha Day (seems like only yesterday) With her boy (doesnt Russ look young) Momma I'm pretty Look at me go My fav of her Did you say Cookie? From yesterday before we made the final trip Resting Take care baby girl Mom loves you! Take care my sweet sister girl, I love you! Until we meet again my sweet baby girl. My heart is yours. 50 years would not have been long enough. Someone I never met read my post on another message board and wrote this poem based on this post. It says everything I feel. Greyt Life From the day that we met You had my heart With us always From the very start Unconditional Your love is And forever it will be For both of us to give Though your time was short And not long enough I wouldn’t trade it for the world Or ever give it up You brought warmth in the world And you didn’t even know The greytness of your life And greytness you’d show For your life was so special And the memorys will last You’ll never be forgotten You’ll never be past Thanks for the time Together we’ll be Our hearts are one And it always will be Karl Walker/Digger/Dash Edited August 12, 2007 by Gr8NCGreys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
