Your sister keeps looking for you on your bed in the closet, where you liked to sleep the day away. We have told her to remember all that you taught her in the short time that you had together. She is being a very good girl. You did a wonderful job with her. Every time we start to cry she comes over to comfort us.

We have kept your card from the oncologist on the counter. You were wearing your "Cancer is a big fat doodiehead" shirt. It says it all. It is a harsh reminder that you are not here with us anymore.

Your mommy found a beautiful hurricane lamp for holding your candle, which we will light every Monday for you. We had it personalized just for you. "We loved you your whole life... We will miss you the rest of ours..."

We love you, Sweetheart.

It is a month ago today that we lost you, and the hole in our hearts has not healed at all. We still cry for you every day. Your sister still looks for you, but not as much. She has laid beside your bed in the living room a couple of times, so I think that she still misses her sissy. She has picked up a couple habits of yours, like pulling away if you try to pet her when she is begging. She did that for the first time yesterday, which makes us wonder if you are still here with us sometimes, and still teaching your sister. That thought comforts us, because it means that we will see you again one day.

We love you forever, my girl.

Two months has passed, and you are still in our thoughts every day. Some days are worse than others, but we still cry every day. Not a day goes by when we do not talk to you. You are missed more than you could ever believe, and loved more than you know. You took such a big piece of our hearts with you that we know our lives will never be the same without you. You gave us so much love and joy and happiness, and only asked for love in return. You were the sweetest girl ever.

Your sister still looks for you on your bed in the closet nearly every day, so I think that she still misses you, as well. She is doing well, and gives us comfort, especially in those extra difficult times.

Run, play, and have fun, my girl, and we will see you later.

Love Mommy and Daddy

Our sweet girl, it is three months today since we lost you, and we are still as heartbroken as ever. There have only been a couple of days without tears, but many other days that the tears won't seem to stop. We talk to you every day, and we hope that you are able to hear us. We are still not able to pick up your beds or your food bowl. It is still just too hard to let you go.

Your sister still checks your bed in the closet nearly every day, so I think that she still remembers her big sissy and misses you and loves you.

We love and miss you so much, Sweetie Girl.

Indy, four months have now passed and our hearts have not even begun to heal. We still cry for you every day. Mommy and I talk about all of the things that we miss, like tradsies, uh-oh, your prance, how dainty you were. The list goes on and on. We even miss going to chemo and getting you Chick-fil-a after for being such a good girl. It isn't fair that you had to go so soon.

Your sister still looks for you on your bed in the closet and then looks at us, so we have to tell her that you are not coming back. It breaks our hearts.

We love you beyond measure, my girl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE GIRL! 14 years ago today the sweetest girl ever was born. I did not write anything on the first because I wanted to wait for your birthday. Your mommy and I are starting to think that this is as good as it will ever be for us. We miss you more than words could ever say, and still cry every day. Your sister still checks your bed in the closet every day, so she must also still miss you.

We miss giving you presents on your birthday and watching you open them. You loved getting presents. For your birthday we are making a donation to canine lymphoma research today in your name.

We love and miss you so much that we can hardly bear it, my girl.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, SWEETHEART! Last Christmas we had no clue that it would be your last Christmas. We miss giving you presents. You so loved getting and opening presents, and would open everyone's.

Your sister also obviously still misses you. She laid beside your bed in the living room on your birthday just like she used to when you were with us. She also laid beside your bed in the closet yesterday.

We love and miss you so much, Indy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, INDY! A year ago today was the last day that everything seemed fine. Little did we know that the cancer was building up inside of you, and that we would soon lose the sweetest girl ever. It is also six months since we lost you, and we still cry every day. I will stop writing every month, but will still write on special days. We will never stop loving you, missing you, or talking to you every day, sweetheart. Your sissy still looks for you every day, so she will not soon forget you or stop loving and missing you, either. We love and miss you so much.

Our sweet girl, it is a year ago today that they confirmed you had cancer and you got your first chemo treatment. You were already so sick, and Mommy and I were terrified that we were going to lose you. You bounced back so quickly, but it was only a brief remission. Our hearts are still in pieces, sweetheart.

We love you so much, sweetie.

Our sweet Indy girl, it is a year ago today that they told us you were in remission. We were so excited. You were doing and feeling so well, but your remission only lasted a few months. We still miss you more than you could ever believe, and we still cry every day.

We love you so much, sweetheart.

Indy, your sissy was standing in our bathroom the other day and suddenly ran straight to your bed in the closet like she saw you, and looked on it, then turned and slowly walked away. It was heartbreaking. We hope that maybe you were there and she saw you. She obviously still misses you just like Mommy and I do.

Love Mommy and Daddy

Indy, your sissy left a little toy mouse beside your bed in the closet today. I guess she was hoping that would make you come home. It was so sweet, and broke our hearts. Obviously Amory still remembers you, misses you, and loves you.

We love and miss you beyond measure, my girl

Our sweet Indy girl, a year ago today is when we were told that your cancer had returned, and you were terminal. We were devastated, and still are a year later. Our hearts are still so broken, sweetheart. Your sissy still looks for you every day. You were more special to us than you could ever know.

We love you forever, Sweetie Girl

Our sweet girl, in the past week your sissy has done a couple of things that you used to do. She choked on the water after having a big drink like you used to do. I guess she got water up her nose. Then, the other day, she blew out her nose to get my attention when she was begging. She has never done those things before. We hope that means that you are still here with us and finding ways to show us.

We love and miss you so much, Sweetie Girl

Our sweet, sweet Indy girl, you are so loved and missed. It is a year ago today that you lost your battle with cancer, and our hearts are still shattered and tears still fall every day. You made such a difference in our lives. I am just so sorry that we could not save you, but am so happy that we at least made you feel better for a few months. I remember how you gave Mommy and I each a kiss before you went to sleep that last time. You were never a kissy girl, but it is like you knew you were leaving and wanted to say goodbye and that you loved us. We will remember you forever, sweetheart, and miss you until we get to be with you again.

We will love you forever, sweet Indy girl

Indy, your sissy went into our bathroom tonight, stared at your bed in the closet, then bounded over to it, stared at it for a moment, and turned and bounded over to me. She looked up at me with her tail wagging. You must have been here and she could see you. Thank you for visiting.

Indy, it has been a tear filled day for Mommy and me. It is two years ago today that they confirmed you had cancer and you started chemo.

Indy, it has been quite a last couple of days. On Thursday night your pictures were coming up on the picture frame a lot, and then yesterday morning the background on both my computer at home and at work were changed to a picture of you from one of your weekly tributes. Then last night Amory laid beside your bed in the living room like she used to when you would sleep on it. You must have been here. Thank you for the signs, sweetheart.

Indy, today is Rainbow Bridge Day, and as we went to take your sissy for a walk Mommy found a penny by the door. Then she saw this year's poster for Rainbow Bridge Day, and it looks like a picture of you. Your brother even thought that we had the poster made from a picture of you. It had to be signs from you. Thank you for the signs to let us know that you are still with us, sweetheart.
