Dear Snowy,
It has been one year today since you left us.
It is still a shock even after so long.
I thought you were going to pull through and make it somehow.
But on October 21st 2005, you died in your sleep.
I still remember my mother telling me that you had passed away that morning.
I couldn't believe it. I remember the night before telling you how much I loved you.
You were so full of life and energy.
It still doesn't seem fair that such a beautiful soul could be taken from us.
I try now to remember the good times. But it is still so difficult.
I remember walking you in the park and walking you outside of the store when my mother would go in.
I remember taking you for the day to the Ohio Pyle and first learning that you could swim. How happy you were that day.
I remember going through the drive through at a fast food restaurant and as we gave our order, you would bark your order too into the speaker.
I remember so many Christmases and how that was your favorite holiday.
You loved to open up your gifts with your little paws.
When tragedies struck, you were there for us.
When I developed cancer I was so scared, but you were there for me.
I remember your beautiful white fur and your big dark brown eyes.
Things are not the same without you here with us.
I want to see your face and hear your bark.
I know everyone says their pet is special, and I am sure they are.
But there was something so different about you Snowy. Something that I have never seen in an animal before.
It was like you were a person and not a dog. It was like you understood everything that we were saying and like you could sense all of our emotions.
I know I have to visit your grave today. I just hope I can handle that.
I know I will someday see you again.
When it is my time to leave this Earth, I want your face to be the first face that I see. I want you to run right up to me with your tail wagging.
I will always love you my best friend. There will never be anyone else like you.
You are an Angel now.
Rest In Peace Special Friend.
Until We Meet Again,
Love Wendy
