Welcome to GRETCHEN's Rainbow Residency

Memories of GRETCHEN

Gretchen, The pain is still there for me. No matter how much it hurts losing you, I know how blessed I was for the 13 1/2 years we had together and the love, companionship and devotion you gave me. I miss your furry little face each day greeting me when I come home and your warm body snuggling beside me on the couch or in bed at night. You were the child I never had. You went through so much with me. A marriage, divorce and moved 3 times with me. You were always there for me no matter what. You are in my thoughts always. Loving you always, your mom Colleen. May 2006 - It has been 3 years since your passing. It is as difficult today as the day you passed. The love we shared is sacred and the bond is too strong to be broken. Your spirit remains with me each day. October 2006 - Today I was looking through some pictures and found some of that precious little furry face. I love and miss you always. November 2006 - This was the month you were born. You would have celebrated your 17th Birthday. I cherish all the special memories and love you gave me all the years we were together. It's Thanksgiving, I would alway bring you home turkey from Nannie and Papa's. December 20, 2006 - Christmas is almost here. You were my gift, I brought you home several days before Christmas. You always thought all the gifts under the tree were yours. You would always smell around to find the one with your treats. I miss you more and more. There could never be another furry baby that would take your place. January 2, 2007 - It's a New Year now. Just not the same without you. I know we spend the last new year's eve home with you. Remeber all the times I would put the Party hat on you and take your picture. You really didn't like it but went along with it. Love Always. February 14, 2007 - It's valentine day, you will always be in my heart. Love Forever. April 01, 2007 - I celebrated my birthday yesterday and missed your furry little face looking in my gift bags to see if there was something in there for you. The weather is warming up and I miss all the afternoon walks we took together. Loving you always. May 14 2007 - I lost you 4 years ago today. I still miss you as if it was the first day. I know even though you had not gotten sick you would have not lived to be 18 years old but I am sure you would have lived a few years longer. I did all I could for you but you were suffering. I visited your grave yesterday and it brought back memories of the day I buried you there. That was very difficult. June 22, 2007 -You are always in my thoughts. Love always. July 7,2007 - Thinking of you always and missing you and all the times we shared together. Love always. July 28, 2007 - I found the last picture we took of you and myself on the couch when you were sick and in your last month. It brought back all the sad memories of losing you. August 28, 2007 - Always thinking about you and missing you still. September 09, 2007 - I dreamt about you last night. It was a good dream, wish you were really here but anyway you were precious in my dream. Love Forever. October 8, 2007 - Thinking of you all the time. Missing you more and more. Love always. October 24, 2007 - I was thinking about the first time I went away and left you. I cried. We called you from the cruise ship and Nannie put your ear up to the receiver and you licked it. Missing you as much as the day I lost you. Love Always. November 21 - It's the day before Thanksgiving. I remember going and picking you out of the litter and I visited you every weekend until you were old enough to leave your mom and come home with me. I will always cherish those special moments and memories I shared with you. Happy Thanksgiving. Love your mom. December 13, 2007 - The past weeks I keep dreaming of you. I wished I could wake up and you really be there. You are always in my thoughts. Love your mom. December 20 - It was Christmas time when I first brought you home. I put you in your bed beside my bed and you cried. I picked you up and put in my bed, you were so tiny, you slept across my neck. From then on, you slept no where else except. I still miss you very much. Dec 25, 2007 - Merry Christmas my special Gretchen. Love your mom. January 1, 2008 - Happy New Year!! Still miss you. January 17, 2008 - We got our first big snow this year. I remeber how much you loved the snow, I had to dry you off with a towel and hair dryer when you came back in. You didn't like being wet. Love forever. January 24, 2008 - Just found out I have some health issues. Waiting to hear if I have to have surgery, wish you were still here to snuggle with me in the bed while I recover. Miss you always. February 17 - Missing and loving you always. I thought about you on Valentine's day, you are always in my heart.

Love Always and forever. May 15, 2008 - Visited your grave again today. Nannie and I cleaned up the pet cemetry. Sabri & Sidney are not well and will be joining you and Molly soon. PaPa said if I want another dog, he would take it out and walk at lunchtime like he did you. But I told him I promised you I would not get another dog. There could never be another Gretchen. Loving you always. June 19, 2008 - I visited your grave on Sunday and we put markers on Molly, Darla and Skyler graves too like the one I put on your grave. Missing you and loving you always. July 2008 - Happy 4th. We cooked hotdogs on the grill today. I know how much you loved them. I would buy you the fat free ones. Missing and loving you always. July 30, 2008 - Today is PaPaw's 75th Birthday. He misses the lunch time walks with you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Love Always.
