A Missing Piece of My Heart

Abby
May 1996- June 9, 2011



I lost a piece of my heart. I had to let her go and put her to sleep today. I was stuck in Hawaii unable to be there with her. After 15 years I feel like I should have been there at the end. Abby was like a child to me and I know I was her person. I will never forget the way the sun would shine on you and your hair would light up like an angelic glow. I loved watching you in your beanie bag either bouncing and pouncing around or sleeping like a baby. You were my baby. I will miss your sense of adventure always getting yourself into a hole or even into trouble getting out of the yard or going on "extended" walks at the lake. Taking naps on the couch with me when I would come home from work. Your little toes hairs. Your fluff butt. The light in your beautiful brown eyes. My companion. Sitting up on your butt begging like you taught yourself to do. Howling and talking back to me. I miss you and it hurts. I don't want to forget all your little quirks. You will always be in my heart.
