Today I carry a hole in my heart. My buddy Rory is gone--he passed away Friday, October 12th 2001, during the middle of the night. I can't even begin to explain what he meant to me--he was truly my baby boy. He was always there for me, always kept me company while I was busy at work in the house, always greeted me at the door with his tail wagging. He never judged me, he loved me for who I was, and I miss him. I miss him with all my heart. I miss seeing him hang his head out the car window and get a nose-full of wind, I miss 'howling' with him, I miss rubbing his belly, I just plain miss him. I would do anything to hold him again. I always knew that when this day would come it would be painful, but I had no idea of just how much of an impact he had on my life. My heart is so heavy. I love you Ror. Hayley (my 3 year old) asked me if we could phone the angels to see how you were doing....she misses you too. Three kisses on your nose just from me before bed, every night. "Have a good sleep". Love you forever.
