My beloved Missy: the light of my life. I never thought that when I brought you home, my life would be forever changed. You were my child and my best friend. You and I had a hard first 6 months; the heart problem, the trip to Auburn and surgery. You were so small, just two and one half pounds. When people would ask me why I spent so much money on your surgery, I told that you were my child. I really thought I would lose you then, but you were a trooper and came through fine, perfectly healthy. I will never forget your "diamond eyes", and the way you would cock your head to one side when I talked to you. I just knew that you understood every thing that I said. Our lives were entwined in a way that was so special. You were the "boss" of the house and knew it. I hope you are resting easy in the backyard that you loved so much. I don't know to this day what it was that took you from me. But even now 3 years later I still miss you and even sometimes even think that I hear you barking at the frog on the back steps.
I love you,
Mama
