Cricket

On 7/26/99, I not only lost my best friend but my soulmate.

Cricket was my special baby from 6 weeks old until her last breath. In her 11 years she spread joy and happiness to me and my children, but to me....oh what a special angel she was..she was a mama's girl. I would talk to her sometimes for hours and her eyes would never leave mine, she listened with a tilt of the head now and then, she never interrupted and she never complained....her eyes would stare deeply in mine just like this special photo of her I took.....

I thought she was just getting older this last year with gaining weight and weary legs being arthretis, but in March we learned she had had Cushings disease awhile and it was something that was not curable....treatable to some, but for Cricket it had too much a hold. I am thankful the seizures were only at the end and I am thankful I was able to give her peace in my arms with my voice whispering in her ears....

Oh what I would give to hold her this moment, to look into her eyes. I miss you Cricket, for the rest of my life...till you meet me at the bridge....I love you
