Good Bye Sweet Girl

For almost 16 years, she was part of our family. She grew up with our boys. She saw us through celebrations and holidays and moving to the suburbs and time at the lake and illnesses and tragedy and all of life’s twists-and-turns and ups-and-downs.

She brought us companionship and comfort and so much joy and silliness and fun.

She is forever entangled in our memories.

She was steadfast in her love and devotion to all of us, and we will miss her so, so much.

Thank you for everything, sweet girl. I hope you had the best time. We sure did.

Go dig in the dirt and catch those chipmunks.

And please say hi to Papa for us.
