Because I Love You Mum

Oh my beautiful Holly Boo Boos, it's six months since we had to let you go, I cried so much and still do. Some days are harder than others, but so much has happened.

We got a little cross breed girl who needed a home, and she does so many things that you did, I swear Holly you are teaching her your tricks, why, because her favourite place is the sofa too.

We also rescued a small shepherd, he had such a bad time before we got him, he makes your Dad smile again, because he misses both of you so much.

I wanted to get another boxer girl like you, but I havent because you silly billy were a very special girl, and there could only ever be one Boo Boos. I see your wonderful face in my mind and I sometimes laugh at the memories of the faces you pulled, you had one for almost every occasion didn't you, and we were talking about how you used to run away from the tea towel after you caught it when you were playing with Steven.

He misses you so very much, he said you were our silly girl, and what he misses the most is your snoring. I never knew a dog that kept us awake with such loud snoring as you did.

I miss so many things about you Sweetie, but I have such wonderful memories of all the fun times we had. You may be gone but you will live for ever in our hearts every day.

From Holly Boo Boos to My Mum

Thank you Mum for being brave enough to let me go,
I know how much it hurt you, and you did it because you loved me so.

All my aches and pain are just a dim memory now,
My legs are strong, and my ears can hear bird songs, and I can see clearly Mom!!!!

The Bridge was very wonderful and I wanted to go,
But I looked back down at you, I saw you crying, and wanted to come back,
I saw your head upon my body, and your eyes screwed up tight.

Your tears they fell like raindrops, and splashed upon my coat,
I saw you were kissing and telling me I could go,
But I had already gone, Mom but you didn't know.

I know how you loved me, and I love you both right back.
I had these turns Mom and you were always there,
You always kissed and cuddled me and I knew how much you cared.

I tried to stay with you Mum, I knew you loved me so,
But on that day it happened, you knew I had to go,

I went to sleep very quickly, I never felt a thing,
But God sent me the Rainbow Angel and he took me in his wings,

He told me you were crying, but not with any fear,
But because you loved me for the ten long years.

I know that you loved me then and still do every day,
And when God calls you Mum, I'll be there to show you the way.

Last night I heard you crying, as you sat on the bed,
So I came and stood next to you and brushed my head against your leg.

You knew that I was there Mum, because I heard you say hello,

I saw a lovely smile that turned into a grin, and the light in your eyes Mum, went bright instead of dim.

Just know that I love you, and watch over you every day,
I am here beside you, I havent gone away.

I Love You Mum, Always, xxx
