Welcome to Timber's Rainbow Bridge Memorial Residency
Memories of Timber
|
It's only been a few hours since you became our angel but it feels like forever. Our tears won't stop and our hearts ache. We love you always and forever!! WE MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Timber was our big boy for 3 1/2 years. He was so cute when he was little. When we brought him home he was scared of us. He hid under a kitchen chair in the corner and only came out when he saw me pouring water into a bowl. He slept the whole night but was still hesitant to come out of the cage we bought him. That was a waste of money because other than the first night he never used it. That was fine with me because I thought he should have the run of the house. Well on his second day at home he was still nervous. Then daddy came home and started crawling on the floor and that was all it took. Timber started to chase him and jump on him. Then all of our kids Phoebe, Matthew and Julie got in on the act and started crawling around too. Timber was finally more at ease and was warming up to us. He kept trying to jump on the couch but wasn't big enough. But that didn't stop him. Before long he got up and eventually claimed the largest part of the sectional as his own. We got Timber about 10 days before Christmas. It was the best Christmas ever. We got him his own stocking and an ornament for the tree. He was part of our family now and we were all head over heels in love with him. Everyone that saw him as a puppy said he is going to be huge. They were right. He ended up 30 inches tall at the shoulder and weighed about 140 pounds. He was bigger than your average Alaskan Malamute but he was gorgeous. His markings were beautiful and for a large dog he was very well behaved. We did hire a trainer when he was about 7 months old because he pulled so much on the leash I was worried I wouldn't be able to hold onto him because he was so strong. He loved his walks. He loved smelling everything and I always took him different ways. I saw parts of our neighborhood I didn't even know existed before I started walking him. He also loved playtime with daddy. Every night Timber and daddy would go down the basement and wrestle, run, play ball and whatever else they wanted. Timber loved his daddy so much! He also loved to eat. He ate anything and everything. The only thing he didn't like was Rachel Ray dog food. But anything else he adored. When I would barbecue he would follow me out to the backyard and than would guard the barbecue. Once the food was done he knew he was getting a treat. He always got the first piece of chicken or steak or whatever I was barbecuing. He would also steal food. He did it more when he was a puppy but he stole a slice of pizza and basically swallowed it whole. He ate half a loin of pork that was cooling on the table. He also stole a frozen hotdog I was about to barbecue and not to mention how many ears of corn. He also tried to steal a chicken sandwich from Wendy's off the table but we caught him in time. He also loved his toys. Anything that squeaked was his favorite. If it did't make noise he wasn't interested. Once he got the toy he was off and running and wasn't happy until the squeaker was ripped out. He never had a favorite toy but some he didn't destroy as much as others. Treats were another one of his favorites. He loved them! Also for a big boy he wasn't destructive. We heard horror stories of what malamutes do to furniture or even sheetrock, but not our Timber. He never chewed or destroyed anything. He was the best boy ever. For being a big boy he was a mush. One thing he hated was going in the car. He would start drooling if he just heard the car running. I had never seen anything like it. As a puppy he always threw up in the car. As he got a little older he stopped that but the drooling was a constant. The seats would be soaked but that was alright. Paper towel and time dried them. He also hated baths. He liked to play in the sprinkler and didn't mind walking in the rain or through puddles, but he hated a bath. He was quite quirky that way. We thought we would have had him a long time. We had him neutered young thinking that would prevent him from developing certain cancers. Then when he was 6 months old he swallowed a toy whole. He had to have surgery to remove it and during that surgery they stapled his stomach so he couldn't have stomach torsion. Then when he was one he had hip dysplasia. So he had 2 more surgeries to correct his hips. We thought we were in good shape. We thought we did everything right and had even eliminated some factors that could have developed into problems. He was basically healthy. Sometimes he had tummy troubles but who doesn't. Then our worst nightmare came true. Through this stupid pandemic we were having movie nights every Friday. We were on our 4th Friday when problems started. He was fine all day. He ate dinner, went for his last walk, and than went to see his buddy, aka grandpa. Then when he and daddy came home it was movie time. But something was different. Timber kept wanting to go out. He kept going in and out the whole night. That was very unusual. So the next morning we brought him to the vet at 8 am. Also the next morning he didn't want to walk, he threw up, kept wanting to eat grass, and didn't want his breakfast. So we go to the vet. She says it's tummy trouble and to give him special food and some medicine. Well he didn't eat the food and I couldn't get the medicine in him. Now Sunday comes and it's the same thing. He won't eat, walk or do anything. He just kept going in and out. Monday comes and back to the vet we go. This time they do an X-ray and it is not good news. His large intestine is twisted and Timber is fading fast. The vet says surgery isn't an option because most dogs don't survive it and by this point his pulse was really weak. So on Monday night April 27, 2020 we had to say goodbye to the best boy ever. Daddy and I stayed with him till he was asleep and just cried and cried. We got his ashes that Thursday and set up a memorial for him. We miss him so much and can't wait to be with him again. He was taken way too young and was just getting into his groove. He took part of my heart when he left and I know I will never be whole again. Timber was the family dog but in essence he was my dog. Timber and mommy were inseparable. He was my big boy and always will be. We love him forever and always to the moon and back. Play hard big boy and rest easy. Just know you have our hearts always and forever! We love you more than life itself and long for the day we are together again forever!! Love Mommy, Daddy, Phoebe, Matthew and Julie xoxoxoxoxoxo My handsome Timber! My big boy! My everything!

I was just in the backyard pulling weeds and I fully expected to see you come over and try to eat them. I miss you so much and long to see your handsome face!! Every time I went into the back you would follow me out. Eventually you would lay down and wait for me to be done. Unless you heard a noise or another dog and then you would run to the gate to investigate. I remember your every move and I miss our routines. Mommy misses you big boy and loves you so much!

I miss you and love you so much! You are always on my mind and forever in my heart! I ran in to Annie, the crossing guard that used to give you treats. I had to tell her what happened to you and she was so upset. She used to love seeing you and giving you yummies. She was just shocked when I told her the news. You see Timber, so many people loved you and will always remember you! I will never forget you and when it is my time to go to heaven, I will call your name so loud so that you know that I am there.

I hope you had a great July 4th and I wish you had been here for that! It was so loud around here, but that wouldn't have bothered you! You were my big, brave boy and the loud noises never startled you, except for those cherry bombs! I remember being on walks with you when one would go off, and I to be really holding on to your leash tightly because you would take off running for home!

I know that each day that does pass means that I am one day closer to being with you again and I can't wait for that day to come! Well your kids are back in school so it would have been just you and me again! I know you would have missed them and then been so happy to see them when they came home! The house is still so empty without you and I will never get over that feeling! I still can't walk down the dog toy aisle in Target because I can't bear to look at all of the things we would have bought you! You loved your toys without doubt!! I miss hearing the squeakers as you tried to get them out!! I just miss everything about you big boy, and I just hope you feel the love that we send to you everyday!! You will always be my greatest love!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!!xoxoxoxo 9/25/2021 7:21 am. Good morning big boy!

I talk to you everyday and I am still waiting for you to visit with me in my dreams!! What I would give to see you again and be able to hug and kiss you!! I miss you my big boy and life is not the same without you! I am still completely heart broken and lost without you by my side! I just pray that I will see you sooner rather than later!! I tell myself that each that passes I am one day closer to being with you again, and I cannot wait! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back! You are still mommy's big boy Timber and you always will be!! 10/7/2021 5:59 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you more that words can say but I love you even more!! I wish everyday that you were still here with me, but I know that is impossible! I talk to you all of the time and I am always sending my love to you!! On cool mornings like this I know you would have walked forever!! I loved those days when it was just you and me!! I miss going to the park with you! I wonder how many deer are there now?! You loved to see them and a few times you almost pulled me into the high brush to chase them. Those were exciting days!! This is your birthday month big boy, so I put a cake and balloons at your residency. I can't believe you won't be here to celebrate with us!! I wonder what toys we would have bought you? Well Timber, I miss you with every ounce of my soul and I am still lost without you!! But you will always be my greatest love and I can't wait to be with you again!! When I see you again I am going to hug and kiss you and never let go!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 10/12/2021 3:14 am. Happy Birthday Timber!! You are 5 years old today!! You know what that means! I would have made you steak and salmon for dinner and you would have had a bunch of presents to open!! I wonder what toys we would have gotten for you? I miss you so much Timber and my heart is forever broken!! Time is not easing the pain and it never will!! You were mommy's big boy and you always will be!! I just sang Happy Birthday to you and I lit the candle for you! Did you hear me? I talk to you all of the time and you are always at the forefront of my mind and all of my thoughts!! Life was so much better with you in it!! I miss you so incredibly much that I can't even put it into words!! You were the greatest love of my life and I miss you dearly!! Did you find pa yet? I hope so because I like to think of the two of you taking long walks together!! Please send me a sign that you are alright! I would give anything to see you again and give you so many hugs and kisses!! I love you always Timber, to the moon and back! I hope you enjoy your special day, and always know that mommy loves you always!!!! Happy Birthday big boy! 10/22/2021 9:05 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you so much Timber and I love you always!! You were the best boy ever and my heart remains broken without you!! I tell myself that each day that passes brings me that much closer to being with you again!! I talk to you everyday!! Do you hear me? I hope so!! No matter where I walk or where I drive, I can see where we used to go walking together! Remember our really early morning walks at 4:30 am? I miss those times so much Timber!! That was Timber and mommy time!! We saw so much of this neighborhood that I didn't even know existed!! My heart just continues to ache for you and I would give anything and everything to have you back with me!! You were mommy's boy and always will be!! One day big boy I will be with you again!! I promise!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 10/27/2021 7:59 pm. Hello big boy! Mommy misses you so much and I wish you were still here with me! You have been gone for a year and a half and the pain is still as raw as it was the day we lost you! You are always on my mind and forever in my heart! You will always be my big boy Timber and I hope you know how much we all love and miss you! Our love for you will never end!! One day, hopefully soon, we will be together again! I can't wait to go on long walks with you and be able to kiss and hug you again!! I miss you with all of my heart and I hope that you feel the love we send to you everyday!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 11/1/2021 6:12 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you and love you so much!! Did you have a happy Halloween? Did you get plenty of yummies? I hope you did! You are always such a good boy and you always deserve to have plenty of treats!! I miss you so much Timber and a day doesn't go by that you are not on my mind!! I love you always and always will! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! Tomorrow is daddy's birthday so I hope maybe you can send him a sign that you are still with him! He misses you terribly and loves you forever!! One day big boy, mommy will be back with you for all eternity!! I love you always Timber!! 11/10/2021 5:00 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you so much but I love you even more and that will never change! I keep wondering what life would be like if you hadn't left us. I know it would have been filled with so much more happiness than it is now. I wonder how you would have changed. Would you start to have some gray hair? I guess I will never know. What I do know is that my heart is forever broken without you here with me!! You know you were my big boy!! Yesterday I drove by the park that you loved, and it still hurts my soul to think of all of the missed walks that we never got to go on!! I have been hearing geese honking overhead and I immediately think of you in that park!! Oh my Timber, words don't even come close to describing the heartache I feel on a daily basis without you here!! Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here soon, and I don't even care. I used to love the holidays, but now I don't even want to decorate. I keep watching the video of your last Christmas with us. I am so thankful to have that to watch! You were so excited about your presents and ripping them open. I miss that so much!! I just keep telling myself that each day that passes means that I am one day closer to being with you again!! I love you Timber more than life itself and I will be with you again one day! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 11/17/2021 5:28 pm. Hello big boy! I miss and love you so much Timber!! We have had some pretty cool weather that you would have absolutely loved!! I know you would have laid on the deck for hours just taking in the cold weather!! My heart still aches for you daily!! I talk to you everyday, do you hear me? I pray that you do!! I also hope you know how much mommy loved you and still does! My love for you is beyond measure!! I hope you found pa and that the two of you are taking walks together!! Hopefully one day sooner rather than later, I will be walking with you again!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 11/15/2021 4:26 am. Happy Thanksgiving Timber!! I miss you so much, each and every day! I hope you are spending today with Pa, because this is his first Thanksgiving in heaven!! I hope the two of you go on a nice long walk together!! I miss you so much big boy! The pain never eases and my heart always aches for you! I still can't understand why you aren't here with us! You were still such a baby and we were supposed to have many more years together! My heart is just forever broken without you!! I hope you hear us talk about you, because we do it all of the time! We talk about all the funny things you did and just how much we loved you and still do!! That will never change!! I hope you get extra yummies today, and I hope that one day soon you will come and visit with me in my dreams! I would love to see you big boy!! Until then, always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 12/3/2021 6:07 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you and love you so much! The days are long without you here with me and I wish I could go back in time and have you here!! I talk to you everyday and I hope you hear me! The other day a group of geese flew over making their honking sound and I thought of you. All of those times in the park where the geese would honk to let the others know that you were there! You thought that you could catch them but they would always fly away!! I haven't seen any deer recently except one while I was taking Matthew to school. It was a huge buck and it just stood on the side of the road watching me before it jumped back into the woods. You would have tried to chase after it like you did in the park!! I miss you big boy so much! Christmas will be here soon and I know we would have had a bunch of new toys for you for presents!! You loved tearing them open and then destroying your new treasure, and we got so much joy out of watching you!! I hope you know that you will always be loved and we can't wait to see you and be with you again!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 12/8/2021 7:25 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you every second, of every minute of every day!! That will never change, just like my love for you will never fade!! I think of you all of the time and cannot wait to be with you again! I just tell myself that each day that passes is bringing me one day closer to being with you again!! I hope you are looking down at us and can hear us talk about you!! We talk about you every day, especially daddy and me!! We are forever heartbroken over losing you! But I know one day we will be all together again, and we will never be separated!! I truly cannot wait for that day to come!! I love you always and forever big boy to the moon and back!! 12/16/2021 6:05 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you so much Timber and I love you so much and always will! Time is not easing the pain, and this time of year is especially difficult! I think of all of the toys you would be getting for Christmas and I will miss that this year, again! I hope you are happy and I hope you know how much we all love you!! You were taken way too soon, and I would give anything to have you back with me!! I hope you know how much mommy loves you! You will always be my big boy!! I hope you are taking walks with pa, and that you are getting plenty of yummies! I pray everyday that we will be together again very soon! I can't wait to pet you and kiss you and I will never let you go! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 12/21/2021 6:07 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you and love you so much! It has turned very cold and yesterday morning was truly freezing out! I can picture you now laying outside on the deck enjoying the frigid temperatures! I miss seeing you outside so much! We redid the deck this summer and you would have loved the new one! You would have had more space to lay down and watch people passing on the sidewalk! Everywhere I look I still see you!! I just wish I could see you in real life!! I know one day we will be together again, but that day seems so far away! Christmas is in a few days and I know I would have wrapped all of your new toys by now! Oh how you loved your toys!! I miss you beyond words Timber, and I miss our time together!! I miss how you would cock your head when I was talking to you as if you truly understood what I was saying!! I miss you coming to lay next to me on the couch, and I really miss our nice long walks exploring the neighborhood and the park!! I just miss everything with you!! Just know that you are always loved and that one day I will be back with you forever! Until that time comes, always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 12/25/2021 6:51 am. Merry Christmas Timber! I miss you and love you so much! This was your favorite holiday, by far! Remember all of the presents you got and tore open? You loved getting new toys, and we all loved watching you open them! You got so excited! You knew certain presents were for you and you would sniff all around them but you never just took them. You waited until we gave them to you, and boy they made you so happy! I miss you so much big boy but I try to remember the happy times we had together in the short time that we had with you! I hope you have presents to open and get lots of extra yummies! One day big boy, we will be together again, I promise! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 12/21/2021 7:05 am. Good morning big boy and happy new year'e eve! I can't believe that we are going to be starting another new year without you! My heart is still broken and will forever remain that way without you!! You were my greatest joy and love and I miss you beyond words! I know daddy misses you as much as I do and we both wish you were here with us!! Not a day goes by that we don't speak of you! Christmas is boring without you here to open presents! Life is just boring and sad without you!! I am still waiting for you to come and visit with me in my dreams! Timber, I would love to see you and be able to hug and kiss you!! I just miss you so much and I know that is never going to change!! I love you always my big boy and I hope that I see you very soon!! Have a happy new year and I hope you spend the day doing something fun! Play hard and rest easy Timber and always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 1/4/2022 1:46 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you and love you so much Timber! Well it is a new year and my heart is still broken! I can't wait to see you again and I pray each day that our time apart is only for a short while! It was so cold yesterday and this morning! You would have loved it! I can see you now laying out on the deck all day long! I miss you with every ounce of my being and I long for the day that we are together again! Say hi to pa for me and I hope he is taking you on long walks! I will be with you one day Timber and I will never let you go again! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 1/14/2022 1:28 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you and love you so much! I really hope you hear us talk about you every day! I promise, a day doesn't go by that we don't talk about you and tell funny stories! We all miss you so much Timber, and we all love you!! One day we will all be together again, I promise!! Are you going on walks with pa? I hope you are!! It is going to be down right frigid tomorrow morning and pretty much all day. I know you would have loved laying outside in the cold with your nose up to the wind!! I miss seeing you and hugging you and kissing you so much!! You were the best boy ever and I will forever keep you in my heart! Always remember that mommy loves you always and forever to the moon and back!! 1/20/2022 6:02 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you and love you so much! It has been so hard without you here and I long for the day that I am with you again!! You were mommy's big boy and I miss you with every ounce of my being! I hope you are happy where you are and I hope that you are running and playing all day long! I really cannot wait to see you again, but mostly I just want to hug and kiss you forever!! The weather has been cold lately and that is what you loved! I wish you were here to play in the snow and lay out in the cold but I guess that wasn't meant to be!! I truly miss our walks and our time together!! I love you Timber with all my heart and I pray that you know you will never be forgotten!! Mommy loves you always and forever to the moon and back! I will see you again one day big boy, and until that day comes hang out with pa and go on walks with him!! I love and miss you always!! 1/29/2022 7:18 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you and love you so much! My heart still aches for you each and every day, and I still talk to you every single day!! Do you hear me?? I feel your loss so much and especially on days like today! We are having a snowstorm with a lot of wind, and you would have absolutely loved it! I know you would have been outside all day long and I would have gotten nervous that you were getting cold! I can't imagine the walks we would have gone on because I know I would have been a frozen popsicle while you would have still walked for hours! I truly wish you were here to play in the snow and run around in it!! Does heaven have snow? I hope so!! I miss you everyday Timber and still can't understand why you had to leave us! We all loved you so much and it isn't fair that you are gone!! I know we will be together again one day, but that day can't come soon enough!! I hope you are hanging out with pa and going on long walks together!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! I will love you forever Timber until we meet again!! 2/1/2022 4:50 pm. Hello big boy!! Mommy misses you so much but loves you even more!! Well the snowstorm is over and I think we got about 8 inches. You would have loved it and I know you would have torn up the backyard by running in the snow and rolling around in it!! I wish you could have done that and that I could have watched you!! I hope you have plenty of snow to play in in heaven!! I will always miss you and love you until we are back together again!! I wish you were here to sit in my spot on the couch and keep it warm for me!! It is always cold now without you here!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back and one day we will be back together again forever!! Only love big boy, only love!! 2/9/2022 5:27 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you so much Timber!! My heart is forever broken without you here!! Everyday I find myself wondering what I would be doing at any given time if you were still here with me!! I know my day would still start at 4:30, because that was our time together on our early morning walk! Our schedule would have changed this year because I bring Matthew to school each morning and I'm not back home till after 8:30. So I wonder how I would have walked you in the park with a lot more dogs at that time. I'm sure we would have managed, right big boy?!! I love you so much Timber, and no amount of time will ever change that!! You were my big boy and you always will be! That will never change!! One day we will be together again, and I can't wait for that day!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 2/17/2022 9:00 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you and love you so much! A day does not go by that you are not on my mind!! The thought of you is always present and the pain of losing you is constant!! I still can't believe that we only got to have you for 3 1/2 years!! That was way too short and I can't help but think that we got robbed from being able to have you in our lives for much longer!! Oh Timber, if I could turn back time I would, and you would be here with us today!! I miss you every minute of every day and I know that will never change. I pray everyday that we will be together again sooner rather than later!! Have you met up with pa yet? I hope so because that is the only thing that gives me some comfort!! I wish you were here to get new toys that you loved, but I know that can never be!! I told daddy that he should write to you like I do, but he said it's too hard!! Well I find it difficult too, but this is how I still feel connected to you big boy!! I wish you would come and visit with me in my dreams!! I would absolutely love to see you!! Maybe one day you will come and visit with me!! I really hope you will!! Well have sweet dreams my big boy, and always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 2/23/2022 6:23 am. Good morning big boy! I miss and love you so much! I think about you each and every day, and last night I was looking at all of your pictures on my phone!! I forgot how tiny you were when we first brought you home, and how quickly you grew!! You were so beautiful and majestic looking!! My heart still breaks for you Timber, and I know that will never change!! You were mommy's big boy and you always will be!! It is going to be warm out today but then cold again tomorrow! This weather we are having is crazy! I don't know if I told you, but Star is moving. They sold the house and will be moving shortly. She still looked for you every day after you left us and I used to talk to her! We all still miss you every day Timber, and I know that will never change!! One day we will all be together again, and that will be the happiest day of my life!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 3/2/2022 6:11 am. Good morning big boy! I miss and love you so much!! I think of you each and every day and wish that you were still here with me!! That will never change until we are reunited for all eternity! I miss your beautiful face, and I truly miss kissing your nose and giving you hugs! You were never a real fan of hugs but you always let mommy give them to you!! I love you always Timber, and you will always be my big boy!! I hope you are going on nice long walks, and I hope you are getting plenty of yummies! One day, hopefully sooner rather than later, I will be with you again, and we can take long walks together and going exploring like we used to!! I can't believe you are gone almost two years, because the pain makes it feel like yesterday!! I know the pain of losing you will never go away and the house will never feel the same!! We all miss you terribly Timber, and I pray that you know how much we all love you!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 3/9/2022 5:12 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you and love you so much Timber! I talk about you all of the time, and I look at your pictures everyday! The other day a bunch of geese flew over the house and made their honking sound, and I immediately thought of you and our walks in the park together!! I cherish those days and think about them often!! I miss you so much Timber that some days it is hard to function!! You would have loved the weather today! It was cold with rain and snow mixed! I know you wouldn't have wanted to come inside!! I miss you big boy everyday and I hope that I see you again very soon! I keep telling myself that each day that passes brings me one day closer to being with you again!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 3/17/2022 6:28 am. Good morning big boy!! Happy St. Patricks Day! I put some shamrocks at your memorial. Do you like them? I miss you so much big boy and I love you even more!! Do you hear me talk to you everyday? I hope so!! I don't want you to ever think that we forgot about you, because that will never and could never happen!! You were our world and still are!! I miss you more as each day passes, but I also tell myself that each day that goes by brings me that much closer to being with you again!! I really cannot wait to hug, and kiss and hold you again!! I really just want to see your beautiful face again and never stop looking at it!! I miss our walks so much! I miss our routine and our time together!! I hope you don't forget us, and that you are watching down over us!! One day, big boy, we will all be together again, I promise!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! Only love Timber, only love, always!!! 3/22/2022 9:40 pm. Hello big boy! I miss and love you so much! My heart is forever broken without you here beside me!! I talk about you every single day and we tell stories about you all of the time! We all just miss you so much and wish you were still here with us!! Daddy, Julie and I went walking in your park on Sunday! I haven't been there in a long time and I wish that you were still here to enjoy it!! We walked around both sides, and I told them stories of things that you and I saw and did on our walks together! Then yesterday, Phoebe, Julie and I walked there again. This time we went up onto the hill and I told them of all the deer you and I saw together!! I miss those days and those walks with you so incredibly much!!! Our time together was so short and I long to have those days back!! I miss you so much Timber, and I pray every night that our time apart is very short!! I am so lonely without you and I miss Timber and mommy time!! I long to see your beautiful face and I wish you would come and visit with me in my dreams!! Please come and visit with me!! I need to see you and make sure that you are alright!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!!! 3/23/2022 6:26 am. Good morning big boy!! I forgot to tell you last night that I saw a skunk. It crossed the street and walked right to our house. I lost sight of him from the front window, so I went to the living room and kitchen windows but couldn't find him. Then I ran downstairs and opened the blinds in the back door but I didn't see him there either. I have no idea where he went, but I couldn't help think what you would have done if you would have seen it!! It would have been agitated by you and probably would have sprayed you which would not have been fun!! Well as always, I love and miss you always and long to be with you again!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! Play hard and rest easy Timber, and always know that mommy loves you!! 4/1/2022 9:51 pm. Hello big boy! I miss you and love you so much! You are always on my mind and forever in my heart! I really hope you hear us talking about you!! Not a day goes by that we don't mention your name or remember something funny you would do!! We are still and always will be heartbroken over losing you, especially me!! You were my big boy and you always will be!! The weather has been crazy lately. We have one or two warm days and then it is freezing again. You would have loved the cold days and the windy days. You used to walk with your nose in the air trying to catch all of the smells that were blowing around!! I miss you so much Timber and that will never change! As I have said before, each day that passes brings me one day closer to being with you again, and I can't wait for that day to come! I just pray that it is sooner than later!! I will love you forever Timber, and always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 4/6/2022 12:50 pm. Hello big boy! I miss and love you so much! Time is not easing the pain of losing you and I know it never will!! I miss you so much and at times the pain is unbearable!! I wish I could see you Timber! I would give anything to hug and kiss you again! I was the only person who was allowed to hug you, or at least I was the only one you tolerated to hug you!! It is so dreary out today. It has been raining out all morning and is going to rain all day tomorrow! I know you would have still laid outside in the rain because it didn't bother you!! Have you met up with pa yet? I truly hope so, and I pray that you are going on long walks together!! I miss you everyday and I will love you forever! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 4/15/2022 7:10 am. Good morning big boy! I miss you and love you so much! I think about you every single day and we all talk about you every day!! I hope that we are together again very soon! It was so hot here yesterday, 85 degrees, I know you would have been so hot and uncomfortable. But today is much cooler and I know you would have spent the whole morning outside on the deck! Are you going on walks with pa? I hope so!! One day I will be taking long walks with you again, I promise!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always to the moon and back!! 4/17/2022 2:02 am. Good morning big boy! Happy Easter! I hope you got a new toy!! Always remember that mommy loves you forever and always! |
