Annie was my best friend. God brought her to me as a stray and when I took her in she took my heart. She has kept it full of love these too few years I had her. Annie always wanted to be with me. She always sat right beside me no matter what I was doing. She helped me study for classes and kept me company while I read books or watched movies. She was my constant companion and loved to be with me outside on the back porch. She would walk with me through the yard and lie on the sidewalk while I drank my morning coffee in the cool breeze. The love in her eyes every time I looked at her was nothing less than the warmest and most loving embrace of my heart. I miss her lying next to me every night and to hear her little snoring was so sweet. She traveled with us but wouldn't want to be anywhere but on my pillow in my lap. She won each person's heart that met her. Her daddy loved taking her on walks and I would watch them as he would bend down like he was looking at something and Annie would bound over to get a look. It always made me laugh. Annie was pure joy to me when I needed it most. She was a true gift of God and one that constantly showed me how I needed to be more Christlike. Her unconditional love taught me so many lessons. I shall never forget you, Annie. My heart cries for you and I can't wait to see you again in Heaven. I ask Jesus to hold you and give you kisses for me. She dealt with her health issues like a champ. I hope to be as courageous as her if I ever need to be. Your last days here were so special to me. I took off work to be with you. You were exhausted but your heart was so strong. I'm so sorry Daddy wasn't able to be here, and while I'm sorry I had others around while Dr. Brett helped you pass, it was nice they were here for me after you were gone. Daddy wanted you on his pillow since he couldn't be here and I know that was special for you. I miss you, Annie, with my whole heart and being. I look so forward to the day when I walk with Jesus and you together. I love you so very much....mom
