My Babies
by Allison Taylor
To my precious Piglet, Winnie & Belle: I miss you guy so much. Each of you are still in my heart. Each of you still bring a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. Piglet, you were my first baby. It seems like only yesterday that I was holding you, petting you and you were kissing my thumb. But it was almost 2 years ago that you went on to the Rainbows Bridge. Winnie, my precious Winnie. It has been 15 months since you went to see Piglet at the Bridge. How I miss hearing your 'wheek' at the sound of the fridge opening or a bag rustling. You wouldn't let me get away without bringing you guys a treat, would you? I miss how it seemed you tried to 'get inside' me. How you always wanted to be with me...close to me. And oh how I miss your little kisses. Belle, my beautiful Belle. You left 3 months ago to live again with Piglet & Winnie. How I miss your strength. I am still in awe that you came competely through 2 major surgeries for cancer and how much you loved Piglet & Winnie & me. Those days after Winnie passed away and you and I consoled each other. It was just you and me until you let me know you were ready to love again. And you did. You loved little Oliver so so much. When I placed him next to you after you had gone to meet Winnie & Piglet at the Bridge, he cried out for you. He loved his big sister Belle so much. He even bunched up the bedding in the 'condo' and slept next to it, like you were still there cuddled up with him. After seeing how lonely he was, he and I found Wendy. She is so much like a combination of all 3 of you. She loves little Oliver and he loves her. I told him that you gave him & me so much love that we had to share it. Wendy is perfect for him. He loves her and protects her and watches over her...he learned all of that from you. And I know where you learned it from...from Piglet and Winnie. I am so glad to have Wendy & Oliver. They are not substitutes for you guys, for nothing will ever replace you guys. But they are 2 little souls who need someone to take care of them, love them and watch over them. Just like you guys did for me. Piglet. Winnie. Belle. I will see you soon. I will forever be your loving Mama.
