I remember the day I broke your sac cuz your momma was too young to know how to do it. I knew someday I would be taking you home with me. You have been my dear best friend for 8 1/2 wonderful years. Never leaving my side. We found out the dreaded news April 1, 2004 you were dying with blood cancer and you give me 7 wonderful bonus months. The vet come out today to help your journey to the bridge. Daddy has made you a wonderful grave. Right near the back patio where we will still have our morning coffee. You are forever in my heart Jake. Mommy loves you and I thank you for the 8 wonderful love and hug filled years. A poem I wrote for you, 7 short months ago: This poem should be easy cuz it comes from my heart But how do I begin when I'm torn all apart? How do you say good-bye when the end is drawing near? When the only thoughts I have inside are keeping you here. I sit here now and stare into your eyes, Too hurt to feel, too tired to cry. I don't wanna let go othe 8 yers we've shared The days filled with playing and stroking your hair. You're being so strong and so very brave And all I keep praying for is "just one more day." You've been my companion since that cold March day Not thinking one day you'd be stolen away I won't make you suffer just to keep you around I'll prepare you for your trip, "you're Rainbow Bridge bound." I know you'll be happy, young and free And I know my sweet boy you'll wait for me. So my darling Jake, when you sour to the sky, You have mom's blessing, "it's your turn to fly." In memory of my dear sweet Jake March 9, 1996- November 20, 2004
