Emails to Heaven

Jake – April 2008 – April 9, 2022. Another star shining brightly in the night sky. May you rest in peace. Love Mom.

You no longer greet me as I walk through the door. You’re not there to make me smile, to make me laugh anymore.

Life seems quiet without you – you were far more than a pet. You were a family member, a friend, a loving soul I’ll never forget.

It will take time to heal – For the silence to go away. I still listen for you and miss you every day.

You were such a great companion, constant, loyal and true. My heart will always wear, the paw prints left by you.

Echos from my Heart

Now that the sunlight dims and the shadows grow
My step may falter and my age may show

Join me old friend on this one last walk
No words are needed, our hearts will talk

We’ve laughed in the sunshine, cried in the rain
All the memories shared in both our hearts shall remain

Once I’m gone and you walk alone, by your side I’ll be
You’ll feel me there; your heart speaks to me

And when your time comes and it’s this walk you fear
Let the echos from my heart help lead you here

Till we meet again old friend

For that last 14 years this ornery Little Guy has been my Buddy, my constant companion. We have been thru a lot of ups and downs over those 14 years, And he was there thru it all, right by my side. He didn’t care if I had crabby days, ugly days he loved me thru it all ,no judgement, just pure love from his tiny little heart. It hurts to say goodbye. But you will always be in my heart my Little Guy!! ❤️❤️❤️. Love you ❤️❤️

You were my first foster. You and your two babies were found living under a trailer. I enjoyed having you and your babies to care for but it came time to take you back to the shelter to get ready for adoption. Your two babies were adopted right away but I was told you had become withdrawn. I went to visit you at the shelter. You were in a bottom cage on the floor but I could hardly see you. You had yourself pushed as far into the back of the cage as possible. My heart broke. So I made the decision to adopt you and brought you back home. You must not have slept for days. As soon as I let you out of the carrier you found a comfy spot on my bed and slept almost a whole day. You were happy to be home. When you turned 12, cancer came upon you quickly and my heart broke again when you had to leave. Hopefully we will meet again someday.
Mom
