Dear Sadie Girl,
Today is your first birthday! Happy Birthday Squirrely Girl! What a bittersweet day it is for me. I still cannot believe we lost you so tragically 5 days before your first birthday. Mine and Daddy's heart's are breaking! Daddy blames himself for you being hit but we both know that you were one independent ACD and you did things on your terms! Daddy was crying and asking you why didn't you listento him, as he picked you up out of the road. Why didn't you listen Sadie? You had every opportunity to come to Daddy and you didn't. I guess you just couldn't resist all of those "smells"! At least you went out of our lives your way and doing what you loved. You were such a baby still and the time we had with you, we will always remember. Matthew has the ripped clothes to prove it! The boys cried that night and were scared. We all didn't sleep. I have cried every day and I can't seem to stop. Daddy is dealing better with the idea of you passing but he misses you terribly, just like I do. Especially at night. I look for you on his side of the bed and your not there. I hope that you are with Dakota and he is taking care of you. You still have so much to learn. We love you Sadie Girl and miss you so much! I pray that we will see you again. Happy Birthday Squirrely Girl!
Love,
Mommy
