I miss my Allie so much today. I think I've been trying to make myself feel happy now that we have two great girls in the house -Lucy and Norah -and I do feel happy because of them. But sometimes when I'm at work I think of Allie, because the little ones are not here to distract me.
I feel as though I'm forgetting what she was like. I look at her pictures but they don't do her justice, and that's really all I have. I wish I had a video of her. It would be painful to watch but at least I could remember her better. Even though I know Lucy needed us, and I'm thankful that we found her, I continue to question why God couldn't have found another loving home for Lucy. Because we already had a little girl who we loved more than life itself! I suppose with time I will begin to understand better, why Lucy, why Allie, why now? I have to be happy for Allie that she is with God now. But for some reason all I can think about is her little body, her little stitched up tummy where they had tried to save her, in the ground of a yard at a house that will one day be lived in by someone other than my mother-in-law. It's so hard to let go of a physical presence, even though I know it was her soul who made her who she was. Missing my girl, Jenny

-------------------- Alice Mae Bennett ("Allie") was born around May of 2003. She came home to us in July. On March 10, 2005, she became ill with a condition called mesenteric torsion or volvulus. It is a twisting of the small intestine which is nearly impossible to diagnose. Once symptoms begin it is usually too late to save the intestine by surgical means. There are no known ways to prevent it and its causes are also unknown. It is extremely rare, especially in medium-size females like Allie. It is more common in males of large breeds, like German Shepherds.
Allie was a sweet, happy and loving soul. I will miss her every day. Thanks for giving us these last two years, little girl. We'll always treasure them. |

Jenny,
My heart goes out to you. You had her for such a short time but I know you made her life happy. When my Friskie died last summer I wanted to find another kitty just like him. I adopted 3 kittens and realized that there will never be another Friskie. They each have their own unique personality. My heart was stolen by Gandalf my little gray kitty and everytime I picked him up I'd love him like it was the last time. Now Gandalf is missing and although my heart is breaking you guys have given me hope that he's still out there waiting for me to find him. I still have two kitties at home and I love them but it's just not the same. Try to remember Allie as a happy girl not as you saw her last. No matter where her body lies her soul and spirit will always live in your heart. Hugs, Dawn -------------------- Hugs,
