Dutchy was sent to me no doubt by the Lord. He would have never lived as long as he did had it not been so. I had this little baby for 13 1/2 years six of which we struggled with diabetic issues. I did my very best to give him everything he needed in this life to be happy and to feel okay. When he started to lose his sight two years ago due to cataracts, I didn't hesitate to get the surgery for him so he could see clearly again. After a couple bouts with pancreatitis, this tough little guy finally succumbed to his health issues and Jesus said he had been through enough, and it was time for him to go home. I know in my heart, and have no doubt that he will be waiting for me on the other side someday when I pass into eternity, my only regret is that I have to wait so long to see him again. I know he's with his brothers that he grew up with Morgan and Barron, who now play alongside him on the shore of the river of life and among the beautiful trees and fields of heaven. Wait there for me, Sugar Man...I will be along shortly. Be with Jesus who has made whole and perfectly healthy again and you now are shining in the bright light of his glory. I miss you my sweet baby. I will think of you every second of every day.
