Welcome to Maya's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Maya

When I first saw you, you were this gangly, awkward 10 week old kid. Somehow, you knew how much I needed you. As we rode home, I couldn't believe I was holding you in my lap. You were full of kisses and hugs. It seems, my life began when you entered it. For 14 and a half years, you filled every moment of my life in thoughts, play, walks, sleep,illness. You laid with me when I was sick. You licked my tears when I lost the most important people in my life. You kept company with Pop when I couldn't be home. You watched over us, kept us safe. How many times did you drag me to the car so you could ride and feel the wind in your face. God forbid anyone came near the car when you were in it. They knew it was your car and don't even think about taking it. Only I was allowed in the car with you. You stood between me and others in protection of me. You were so smart and you knew how to play us. You had us all wrapped around your paws. I thought I was the Alpha but really it was you. You let us believe we were in charge but you knew better. You spoiled us. You so often had this innocent sh_t-eating grin on your face when you were in trouble. We couldn't be mad at you. I don't know what's next. I don't know how to be without you. I see you. I smell you. Your fur lingers everywhere. Your cremmains are home. I know your are next to me in spirit. I feel your nose at my neck. We will do this together in our hearts. Your are my beautiful baby girl. Je taime - la ma-my du pu-pay, Mon petite chu, mom ami. I love you, my Maya puppy, My little one, My friend. Mom 12/28/10 Each day I wake up, you're not here. Everytime I come home, you're not here. Every night I go to bed, you're not here. When I see a new toy, I remember you're not here. I don't know how to do this without you Maya. You are my best friend, my baby, my soul mate. You were always here holding me up. Everyday,I suddenly remember you're not here and I can't believe you're not here. I love you Maya, I miss you terribly. Mom 1/4/11 I woke up this morning and your carpet was pushed up against the couch. You always were pushing it up against the couch. You are here Maya! I love you. Mom 3/24/11 Hello sweet Maya, Almost 4 months now and I miss you so much. Your brother, Jack was born 2 days ago. I know you are with him until he can come home in May. A new fur baby. Not to replace you but to add life, spirit and joy back into our home. Je taime la Ma-my du pu-pay. 5/24/11 Dear Maya, On March 22, 2011 your brother Jack was born. Maya you did a wonderful job of picking him out. You knew how heavy my heart was without you. On May 6th I picked him up. What a beautiful ball of fur he was. Today he is 10 weeks old. He is not here to replace you but only to add more love on top of the love and loyalty you gave me. You taught me so much about love. I thank you for picking out Jack for me. Mom Well Maya, Almost a year has passed, 12/3/10, and not one day goes by that I don't miss you. Even tho Jack is with me now, I miss you so. Often I call Jack, Maya and then remember. Jack likes to lay down in the exact same spots you did. So I know you are here in spirit. I wish you and Jack had met, you would like him. He is a sweet little boy and loves me lots. You did well picking him out. Thank you my sweet Maya. Love Mom. Today is one year my sweet Maya. I hope you are chasing butterflies and running to your heat's content. No more pain, only joy. I love you Maya, Mom. December 3, 2012 Today you are gone 2 years. My heart is healing, yet, I miss you so much. I often call Jack "Maya". But it's ok because I know your spirit lives within him and that you brought him to me to comfort me when you had to leave. Even from where you now are, you are still looking out for me. Jack is such a gentle soul and has a wisdom that surprises me. You chose well Maya. One day I will see you again. Know that I love you. Love always, Mom
