After my Sunny died, I said I would never have another dog -- it hurt too much when we lost her. But then you came into our lives, a refugee of sorts, and the amazing adventure began. I tried not to love you at first, afraid of getting hurt again, but you won me over with your infectious spirit of fun. We had such a glorious time together, and you kept me laughing each and every day. What a crazy dog you were! You lived life with such personality and gusto, keeping your enthusiastic nature, playing chase until the end. I will always regret that I had to go to work and leave you behind, and that we lost all of that time we could have spent together. I am truly sorry for that. But you were always so loyal and were ever watchful for my safety, you were my hero! I never knew a dog could be like that, so responsive, so dedicated, so connected. We were so close that you knew what I was thinking. When I went through difficult times, you never left my side, sensing how much I needed you. I want to thank you for that. I could not have loved you more. As you got older, I tried to repay you, staying by your side faithfully when you needed me. You were such a trooper, sweet as always, and thinking of me to the very end. I would have taken care of you forever. Your wings were ready but my heart could never be. You were more than a pet to me, part of my soul, and I will carry you with me always. I am so very grateful that I had you in my life, and for every bit of time we had together, even the tough times when you were not well. I can honestly say that you changed me and made me a more compassionate person. Although I won't need a guardian in Heaven, I know that you will be there, right by my side, and I will miss you every single day until then. And when that time comes, I promise you that I will never again have to go to work and leave you behind. Thank you for all of the love, the many wonderful years, and the endless joy you brought to our lives. You are my heart. I love you, my beautiful boy! 04/20/2023: Willy, Today we celebrate and honor the day you were born. I wish I knew the day that you came to live with us, because that was one of the luckiest days of my life. Little did I know what the choice that I made on that day would set in motion. It led me to you, your love, great happiness, and a connection that I never knew I could have. I often thank God for sending you to us. Willy, you are so special, so wonderful, and I miss you so much. Thank you for all of the love, joy and laughter that you brought to our lives. I hope we did the same for yours. I may not be able to see you, but you are never far from my thoughts, and you will always be in my heart forever. Happy Birthday, my beautiful boy! I love you! 11/01/2023: My beautiful Willy, I can't believe it has been over a year without you. It has been so hard, my love. Just know that you have changed me and my life for the better and I will always love you and miss you. You are my son with four legs and fur and you will live on in my heart forever. Thank you for all of the love and messages that you send. You are so loving and giving, my wonderful boy, as always! Some day I will see you again. I love you so much. Willy Runs Somewhere in the rainbow, Willy runs. Somewhere in the mist, Willy runs. Somewhere in the clouds, Willy runs. Somewhere in my mind, Willy runs. Somewhere in Heaven, Willy runs. Always in my heart, Willy runs. Written for Willy on what would have been his 20th birthday. 04-20-2024
