'My Beautiful Holly Boo Boos'

It's coming up to ten months now since we had to let you go. Some days are better than others Babe, I see your picture every day and I say Hi you.

I still can't bring myself to get another Boxer but Cassie makes up for you not being here. She is as nutty as you are, is so funny, if you were here you two would cause chaos I know it.

I'm dreading Christmas as it's going to be the first one without you Boo Boos. I would send you balloons up to the Bridge so you could play with them seeing as howyou loved to do that, but I can't, the stars are shining bright tonight and I said Hello wherever you are up there.

On that special Christmas Eve when midnight comes and all the pets get to glance down at their loving homes, I shall go outside and look to see if I can see the brightest one cause I know it's you saying Merry Christmas to all of us Darling.

I will never ever forget you ever, in my eyes you were the best friend I ever had and I miss you so much. I've worked through the grief and let it go, I know you are everywhere I am and I try so hard to remember you every day. Sometimes I forget to say Hello because I am so busy with other things, but I keep you alive in my heart, just as your earthly body isn't here doesn't mean your spirit isn't, I know it.

I love you so much Babe, sleep tight until we meet again my sweet girl,
