HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY ANGEL!
Thinking of you still brings tears to my eyes...
But also joy to my heart!
It's been three years now and your legacy lives on - in many ways.
You may be running free in the happy pastures across the Rainbow bridge, but your Spirit lives on here with us too.
Your voice is heard in your brothers and sisters who have come after you;
Toby, your 'Sprinkling'
and
little Lexi, our 'little Sunbeam'.
Tammy, too, although ageing, still sits in your spot in the garden.
And me? I hold you closely in my heart...
You taught me so much, my boy...
about your breed and dogs, in general.
You taught me about love, compassion, patience, perseverance, hope, tenacity, loyalty, generosity, delight, joy, love...
the list goes on and on...
I tried to bring you tribute with your book, my Angel.
I wanted it to 'Do good!' - like you did - and 'touch hearts' - like you did.
I think it has...I hope it has...
My boy...
Today, as I try and choose a photo for you, I think of you 'amidst everything in life'.
This special photo of you with the toys, I think, does justice:
You may be one amongst many memories, but wow, you are special!
...and always will be!
I love you, my boy...
Run free until we meet again...
Your loving,
MAXMOM
