Welcome to CHESTER's Rainbow Residency

Memories of CHESTER

11/01/07 I JUST PUT ALL THE WORDS I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU SINCE 1/10/06 AND PUT THEM INTO A STORY HERE AT THE BRIDGE. I CAN WRITE A TON MORE OF HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, BUT I KNOW THAT WE WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER SOON. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. YOU ARE IN MY HEART ALWAYS, EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. LOVE, MAMA 11/14/07 I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU TODAY AND WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I WILL PUT SOMETING ON OUR CHRISTMAS TREE THAT IS JUST FOR YOU. YOU DID SO LOVE THE HOLIDAYS. YOU GOT SPECIAL TREATS YOU COULDN'T GET ALL YEAR. YOU WOULDN'T LET ME FORGET THOSE SPECIAL MILK BONES I MADE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU LOVED THEM SO MUCH. I HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT GIVING MYSELF A GREAT DANE FOR CHRISTMAS. I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND ALL THE ROOM YOU TOOK UP THAT MY HEART HURTS WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU. OF COURSE, THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD EVER REPLACE YOU, BUT PERHAPS FILL PART OF THAT BIG HOLE YOU LEFT IN MY LIVE. EVERYWHERE I GO AND WHATEVER I DO, YOUR MEMORIES OVERWHELM ME AND I GET SICK JUST MISSING YOU. PEOPLE GET GREAT DANES, NOT REALIZING THAT GET TO BE VERY LARGE DOGS. NOT ME, I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. YOU WERE THE MOST WONDERFUL THING THAT CAME INTO MY LIVE. YOU MADE ME WHOLE, NOW I AM IN PIECES. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. TAKE CARE, MY MAIN MAN, AND KEEP MY SPOT WARM FOR ME. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST HANDSOME MAN I WILL EVER MEET. BE HAPPY, STRONG, AND LOVING. LOVE, MAMA 11/27/07 IT WILL BE 2 YEARS IN JAN. THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GONE FROM MY SIDE BUT NOT FROM MY LIFE OR HEART. YOU WERE SO SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE PICTURES EVERYWHERE OF YOU, EVEN NEXT TO MY BED. I LIGHT MY LITTLE CANDLE EVERY NIGHT NEXT TO PICTURE SO THAT PERHAPS YOU CAN SEE A TINY LIGHT COMING FROM OUR ROOM. THE EMPTINESS YOU LEFT INSIDE ME AND ON OUR BED IS SO HARD TO BEAR ALONE. LUCKY IS THERE WITH YOU NOW. REMEMBER HOW SHE USE TO RUN UP AND DOWN YOUR BACK WHEN YOU TRIED TO TAKE A NAP. SHE THOUGHT YOU WERE A RACE TRACK. WATCH OVER HER AND MAKE SURE SHE AND MAMA ARE TOGETHER AND SAFE. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY THAT MADE EACH DAY I SPENT WITH YOU, A PLEASURE TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING. RUN, JUMP, AND PLAY AND HAVE FUN. LET ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND WAITING FOR ME. I LOVE YOU MY GENTLE GIANT. LOVE, MAMA 1/10/2008 I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE YOU LEFT ME. I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES AND HOW MUCH LOVE YOU GAVE ME. WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE WE HAD TOGETHER. I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR SISTER GAVE ME A 6 WEEK OLD BABY GREAT DANE FOR CHRISTMAS. SHE SAID IT WAS ABOUT TIME THAT ANOTHER GREAT DANE SHARED MY LIFE. HE IS EVERYTHING, AND YET NOTHING, LIKE YOU. HE IS SWEET AND KIND AND GENTLE WITH THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES. HE IS A BRINDLE COLOR, NOT THE BLACK AND WHITE LIKE YOU WERE. HIS NAME IS MR. JIGGLES AND I TALK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME TO TIME. TELL HIM SOME OF OUR HAPPY STORIES. HE KNOWS YOU ALREADY THROUGH ME. SO IN SOME WAY, YOU ARE STILL HERE WITH ME. HE CAN FILL A LITTLE PART OF THAT BIG VOID YOU LEFT IN MY HEART. I LOVE YOU, MY BABY, MY SON, MY SWEETHEART. THANKS FOR ALL THOSE HUGS AND KISSES YOU SENT MY WAY. LOVE, MAMA 02/03/08 THE WORLD IS NOT AS HAPPY FOR ME SINCE I LOST YOU, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ME AND KEEPING ME SAFE. I FINALLY HAVE ANOTHER GREAT DANE. HE IS BRINDLE AND HIS NAME IS "MR. JIGGLES." HE IS A SWEETHEART JUST LIKE YOU. SO GENTLE AND KIND. HE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO PLAY WITH YOU AND BE YOUR FRIEND. I MISSED THAT BIG BODY OF YOURS ON OUR BED, SO MR. JIGGLES IS KEEPING YOUR SIDE WARM. STAY HEALTHY AND HAPPY MY WONDERFUL SON. REMEMBER I LOVE AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! 02/16/08 I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH, MY BEAUTIFUL SON. MY HEART ACHES FOR YOU, BUT YOU ARE ALIVE AND WELL LIVING IN MY HEART AND SOUL. LOVE, MAMA 04/08/08 WELL MY BIG BOY, I AM SO SORRY I HAVEN'T VISITED YOU, BUT WE WERE MOVING BACK TO MEMPHIS. WHERE WHEN I ENTERED THIS HOUSE, YOUR MEMORY CAME FLOODING THROUGH MY SOUL. THIS WAS THE PLACE WHERE I HAD LIVED WITH YOU AND HERE IS WHERE YOU DIED. MY HEART IS BREAKING, BUT I KNOW YOU ARE HAVING A BALL AND RUNNING AND JUMPING AND PLAYING WITH ALL YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. YOUR BROTHER, MR. JIGGLES, IS GROWING SO BIG. HE IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AND WEIGHS 82 LBS. I ALSO WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE LITTLE LAB-MX. PUPPY I RESCUED. SHE IS SO SWEET AND GENTLE. SHE WAS ABANDONED AT OUR HOUSE AND WAS SO SCARED AND WET THAT I COULDN'T SAY NO. SHE SLEEPS ON THE BED WITH THE REST OF THE DOGS AND CATS. THERE IS HARDLY ANY ROOM FOR ME, BUT THAT IS OK. I MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH. PLEASE WATCH OVER YOUR MAMA AND KEEP ME GOING FOR SO MANY LIVES DEPEND ON ME. I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME AND LOVE YOU AS MUCH TODAY AS I EVER DID. LOVE, MAMA 05/07/08 WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD YOU MADE FOR ME THE DAY YOU ENTERED MY LIFE. WHAT GOOD TIMES WE HAD, AND WE HAD ALOT OF THEM TOO. I REMEMBER THEM AS IF THEY WERE YESTERDAY. YOU MUST BE HAVING A GREAT TIME PLAYING WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS, NEVER HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT PAIN OR SICKNESS. I LOVE YOU, MY BIG MAN, AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. MY HEART STILL ACHES JUST TO HOLD YOU ONE MORE TIME. TAKE CARE AND STAY STRONG. LOVE, MAMA 07/02/08 I HOPE MY SWEET ANGEL IS HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME WITH ALL YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I KNOW THAT WHERE YOU ARE IS BEAUTIFUL AND SAFE FROM ALL HARM. YOU ARE THE PROTECTOR AND GENTLE GIANT TO ALL MY BABIES. YOUR DISPOSITION WAS LIKE NO OTHER, SWEET AND KIND ALL THE TIME. YOUR ATTITUDE WAS WHAT MADE MY LIFE SO ENJOYABLE AND HAPPY, JUST HAVING YOU AROUND. I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH. TAKE CARE AND THINK ABOUT YOUR OLD MOM ONCE IN AWHILE. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. LOVE, MAMA 09/01/08 HI, THERE MY WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL BOY. OH HOW I MISS YOU. MR JIGGLES SENDS HIS LOVE ALL THE WAY TO YOU AT THE BRIDGE. WE THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND HAPPY. JERRY SPRINGER IS THERE WITH YOU NOW. I SENT HIM TO YOU TO WATCH OVER HIM. HE WAS SO SICK HERE WITH ME, AND I JUST COULDN'T WATCH HIM SUFFER ANY MORE. I NOW THAT YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM AND BE HIS BEST BIG BROTHER. YOU ALWAYS LOVED CATS. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND KNOW THAT ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN, NEVER TO PART. SLEEP WELL, AND PLAY HARD. SEE YOU SOON. LOVE, MAMA 11/08/08 I ALWAYS FIND YOU THE HARDEST TO WRITE TOO. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE YOU TOOK UP SUCH A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. YOU WERE THE MOST WONDERFUL BABY IN THE WORLD. YOU MADE MY LIFE ENJOYABLE. I WAS SICK THIS WEEK, AND WANTED YOU HERE TO LIE BESIDE ME AND TAKE CARE OF ME. YOU WERE SUCH A WONDERFUL, LOVING SOUL THAT WILL NEVER BE OUT OF MY HEART. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME AND ENJOYING YOURSELF, BUT SOMETIME, PLEASE BLOW A KISS MY WAY. I WILL BE WATCHING AND WAITING. WE WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND FOREVER. LOVE, MAMA 12/07/08 IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME. I REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. ALL THE PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE, AND YOU KNEW WHICH ONES WERE YOURS BECAUSE THEY WERE THE BIGGEST. YOU WOULD UNWRAP THEM AND THEN PICK OUT ONE FAVORITE THAT YOU WOULD CARRY AROUND WITH YOU ALL DAY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRESENTS THIS YEAR, BUT WE DO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TREE WITH YOUR SPECIAL ORNAMENT ON IT. WHEN I PLACED IT ON THE TREE, ALL THE HAPPY AND WONDERFUL MEMORIES WE SHARED CAME FLOODING BACK AND I HAD TO JUST SIT DOWN A CRY BECAUSE I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW THAT YOU CAN SEE ME AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE STILL A MAJOR PART OF MY LIFE, BUT I MISS THAT SWEET FACE AND ALL YOU RUNNING AND PLAYING. BUT ONE DAY, WE WILL BE TOGETHER AND NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE ONE ANOTHERS SIDES. SO I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AT THE BRIDGE WITH ALL MY OTHER BABIES. LOVE, MAMA 01/01/2009 MY GOODNESS, MY SWEATHEART, IN 5 MORE DAYS YOU WILL HAVE BEEN AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE FOR 3 YEARS. YOUR MEMORY IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN HEART. I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND WISH WE COULD BE TOGETHER, BUT MY WORK HERE IS NOT OVER YET. IT WILL BE A WONDERFUL SIGHT WHEN WE SEE EACH OTHER AND YOU COME RUNNING TO ME AND WE HUG AND KISS AND KNOW THAT WE NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE EACH OTHER AGAIN. YOU WERE SO SPECIAL TO ME. THE LONG WALKS WE TOOK TOGETHER AND ME TALKING TO YOU WHILE YOU WALKED RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE SPECIAL TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER. I AM SO BUSY TAKING CARE OF ALL THE ANIMALS THAT LIVE HERE WITH ME. I KNOW THAT GOD CHOSE ME TO BE A VOICE FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. YOU WOULD NOT WANT ME TO BE ANYTHING ELSE, BUT SOMEONE WHO RESCUES THOSE THAT HAVE NO ONE. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT. JUST DON'T FORGET ME AND WAIT FOR ME. HAPPY NEW YEAR. LOVE, MAMA 01/10/2001 OH, MY PRECIOUS BABY. ANOTHER YEAR HAS GONE BY WITHOUT YOU HERE WITH ME. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. WHAT A LOSS I FEEL TODAY REMEMBERING THAT TERRIBLE DAY THAT I HAD TO SEND YOU TO THE BRIDGE. IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME, BUT I CARRY YOU WITH ME IN MY HEART FOREVER. YOU WERE SO MUCH FUN AND YOU LIVED A LONG, GREAT, HAPPY, LOVING LIFE WITH ME. SO I AM CRYING TODAY AS I WRITE THIS BECAUSE I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY BECAUSE YOU WERE SUCH A GREAT PART OF MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU MY DEAR, WONDERFUL SON. I'M SORRY I EVER HAD TO LET YOU GO, BUT I COULD NOT SEE YOU SUFFER. NOW YOU ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY WITH ALL MY OTHER BABIES. PLAY HARD TODAY, AND LOOK DOWN OVER YOUR MAMA BECAUSE I AM HAVING A HARD TIME DEALING WITH YOUR LOSS. LOVE, MAMA 04/10/2009 OH HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE. I CAN STILL SEE EVERY SPOT YOU HAD. YOU WERE MY LIFE, MY BUDDY, MY SON, MY LOVE, MY BABY, THE ONE WHO KNEW ME SO WELL. LIFE HAS BEEN HARD SINCE YOU LEFT. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY, BUT SWEETHEART, I STILL MISS YOU SO TERRIBLY. SOMETIMES I FIND IT HARD TO GO ON WITHOUT YOU, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD WANT ME TO CONTINUE MY WORK BY RESCUING THOSE LOST, LONELY SOULS. YOU UNDERSTOOD WHY I DID THIS. IT IS MY LIFE. A LITTLE DOG CAME TO HEAVEN JUST 2 DAYS AGO NAMED DEE DEE. PLEASE LOOK FOR HER AND HELP HER BECAUSE SHE DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH AND WILL NEED LOTS OF LOVE FROM YOU. STAY BY HER SIDE AND SHOW HER HOW THINGS GO IN HEAVEN. I KNOW YOU WILL DO THIS BECAUSE OF HOW WONDERFUL YOU WERE TO ALL YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I WILL BE DREAMING ABOUT YOU TONIGHT, I ALWAYS DO WHEN I VISIT YOU. SO HAVE A HAPPY EASTER, MY LOVE. 05/09/09 TOMORROW IS MOTHER'S DAY AND I REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVED ME AND SHARED SO MANY WONDERFUL DAYS WITH ME. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, MY BIG BABY BOY. LOVE, MAMA 07/02/09 MY ANGEL BOY, HOW I MISS YOU. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME TO CRY ON YOUR SHOULDER WHEN I WAS SAD. YOU WERE MY LIFE AND MY LOVE. NO OTHER COULD EVER, EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE. YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND. WHAT A DIFFERENCE YOU MADE IN MY LIFE. ALWAYS BY MY SIDE THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED. YOU WERE THERE TO HELP ME GET THROUGH IT. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABY AND LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER. LOVE, MAMA 09/21/09 GOOD NIGHT, MY ANGEL. I HOPE YOU HAVE MET SMOKEY. HE CAME TO THE BRIDGE LAST WEEK. THE DAY AFTER WE LOST YOU, WE RESCUED HIM IN YOU HONOR. HE LIVED A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH US. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU STAY WITH HIM AND SHOW HIM AROUND HEAVEN. I MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS MOST. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. LOVE, MAMA 09/30/09 HI, MY ANGEL. I NEVER GOT TO WRITE YOU A POEM, SO I AM BORROWING ONE WRITTEN BY DAVID M. RAMANO. HERE IT IS: WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME AND I AM NOT THERE TO SEE, IF THE SUN SHOULD RISE AND FIND YOUR EYES, ALL FILLED WITH TEARS FOR ME. I WISH SO MUCH YOU WOULD NOT CRY THE WAY YOU DID TODAY. WHILE THINKING OF THE MANY THINGS WE DID NOT GET TO SAY. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME, AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU. AND EACH TIME THAT YOU THINK OF ME I KNOW YOU WILL MISS ME TOO. BUT WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME, PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND. THAT AN ANGEL CAME AND CALLED MY NAME, AND TOOK ME BY THE HAND. AND WHEN MY PLACE WAS READY, IN HEAVEN FAR ABOVE, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE BEHIND, ALL THOSE I DEARLY LOVE, BUT WHEN I WALKED THROUGH HEAVEN'S GATE, I FELT SO MUCH AT HOME, WHEN GOD LOOKED DOWN AND SMILED AT ME, FROM HIS GREAT GOLDEN THRONE. HE SAID, "THIS IS ETERNITY, AND ALL I PROMISE YOU. TODAY FOR LIFE ON EARTH IS PAST, BUT HERE IT STARTS ANEW. I PROMISE NO TOMORROW, FOR TODAY WILL ALWAYS LAST, AND SINCE EACH DAYS THE SAME WAY, THERE IS NO LONGING FOR THE PAST." SO WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME, DO NOT THINK WE'RE APART, FOR EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF ME, I AM RIGHT THERE IN YOUR HEART. THERE IS NO LONGING FOR THE PAST 12/07/2009 WELL, MY DARLING, ANOTHER CHRISTMAS IS ON IT'S WAY. I REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVED ALL YOUR PRESENTS. YOU WILL GET WHATEVER YOU WANT IN HEAVEN AND HAVE ALL YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO PLAY WITH. YOU ARE A VERY LUCKY DOG THAT I MISS EACH AND EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. I JUST THANK GOD THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND WILL NEVER BE SICK AGAIN. HOW WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I STILL LOVE YOU AND THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. REMEMBER ME SO THAT WHEN I GET TO THE BRIDGE, YOU WILL LOVE ME AS MUCH THEN AS YOU LOVE ME NOW. SEE YOU SOON, MY HANDSOME, BEAUTIFUL BOY. LOVE, MAMA 02/22/2010 I FIND THAT I HAVE THE HARDEST TIME WHEN I VISIT YOU. YOU ARE MISSED EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE. HOW YOU COULD TAKE UP MOST OF THE KING SIZE BED. WHAT A WONDERFUL SWEET ANGEL YOU WERE. OH, THE GREAT MEMORIES WE SHARED. NO ONE CAN EVER IMAGINE UNLESS THEY LIVED WITH US. YOU MADE EACH AND EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE, BRIGHT, HAPPY AND MADE ME FEEL SO LOVED. I LOVE YOU, MY ANGEL AND WILL FOREVER. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, NEVER TO PART.
