We have too many memories to list them all but the best memory of all is the way you looked at me with those beautiful eyes. They were so filled with trust and love that nothing can ever take that memory away. LOVE YOU. It has only been a few hours since you've been gone and this house is too lonely. Your brother and sisters miss you as well as me and daddy. I hope you are happy and healthy again and playing with Lady and Mercy. My life will never be the same without you. I hardly remember life without you. I love you and miss you. 7/03/03 Tomorrow is your birthday. I hope you can see the fireworks from heaven. Love Mommy 7/04/03 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY. Today won't be the same without the crazy firework chasing doggy. I hope you enjoy your birthday cake!! I MISS YOU MY LOVER GIRL> 7/05/03 We went to the beach yesterday on your boat. There was noone chasing the waves away but I know you were there with us. "Im glad for all the good times cause you brought me so much sunshine, love was the best it's ever been. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, wouldn't have missed loving you girl, you made my whole life worth while with your smile. I wouldn't trade one memory cause you mean too much to me even though I lost you girl, I WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED IT FOR THE WORLD!! I LOVE YOU. I cry myself to sleep everynight and there is noone to lick my tears away. I am just happy that you are better again. I miss you more every day. Love Mommy 7/14/03 "Got a picture of you I carry in my heart. Close my eyes and see it when the world gets dark. Got a memory of you I carry in my soul. I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold. If you ask me how I'm doing I'd say just fine, but the truth is baby if you could read my mind...Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, after all this time you're still with me its true. Somehow you remain locked so deep inside.....Baby oh baby not a day goes by. And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark, wishing you were next to me with your head against my heart. Minutes turn to hours and the hours to days, seems its been forever that I've felt this way!!!!! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. If you could only see how much i miss you. Baby, I need you to lick my tears now and you are not here. But I know you are watching me from heaven. Everything is so different without you and i always look for you and your are not there. You were always there for me and god I KNEW IT. I love you Ashley and you are in my thoughts and heart every day. I hope you can see that. I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH AND MISS YOU. Every morning when I wake up I look at your couch and it seems so empty. I hope you made friends in heaven. Cody and Candy are different since you have been gone. They just want to be close to me all the time. I could never forget the one that made my life worth living and you did every day. You are the reason I woke up in the morning and I know that we have other dogs but you weren't a dog. You were my child!!!! You still are my baby. Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin, I feel you come back again and it's like you haven't been gone a moment from my side like the tears were never cried like the hands of time were holding you and me And with all my heart I'm sure we're closer than we ever were I don't have to hear or see, I have all the proof i need There are more than angels watching over me I believe. Now when you die your life goes on it dosn't end here when you are gone every soul is filled with light It never ends if I'm right, Our love can even reach across eternity, I believe. Forever your a part of me forever in the heart of me I will hold you even longer if i can. Last night I had a crazy dream, a wish was granted just for me, it could be for anything. I didn't wish for money or a mansion in malibu I simply wished for one more day with you. one more day one more time one more sunset maybe i'd be satisfied but then again I know what it would do, Leave me wishing still for one more day with you. First thing i'd do is pray for time to crawl I'd unplug the telephone keep the tv off I'd hold you every second, Say a million I love you's Thats what i'd do with one more day with you!!!!!!ONE MORE DAY ONE MORE TIME. What is happening to me, crazy some would say, where is my friend when i need you most gone away But I wont cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find and as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive.Every day that I see Roast Beef I remember how gentle you were with her. You were the only dog she didn't run away from. She loved you just like everyone else who had the opportunity to know you. Ash you were the best in the world. HOLDING YOU, I'D HELD EVERYTHING. There was nothing else in this world like you. I hope you know how very special you were and still are because you are with me everywhere i go!!!!! After all this time I still miss you every day The same world spins round I guess somethings never change. Sometimes I go out but it never feels the same, I still look for you Baby somethings never change. When I said I'd love you for eternity, I just never knew how true those words would be Just an old love song Just the mention of your name My heart breaks in two again. Maybe someday someone else will set me free Until then I'll live your loves legacy. Girl i'm still in love with you. It's that feeling that someone is standing behind me and i turn around and there is noone there. Your memories like a ghost and my heart is its host,I can still feel you just as close as skin every now and then, All by myself in a crowded room or my empty bed There's a place you've touched with your love noone gets close to I can still feel you. In everything that moves In everything I do I can still feel you. I've got the lights turned up the door is locked the bedroom tv's on Doing the only thing that gets me through the night since you've been gone, Praying for daylight waiting for that morning sun so I can act like my whole life aint going wrong!!! I miss you sitting in the car next to me and our walks in the park. Everything is different without you here. You were the most special thing that I have ever had and now a piece of me is missing. But I know you are in a better place(wish I could be with you)I will see you again I promise you just hang in there and have fun until that day. Halloween is coming, you know that holiday when mommy would dress you up and parade you around house to house for some treats. I will never forget the way you would look at me when i would paint your face and put those clothes on you but you would always be patient and trusting. I am going to miss that this year and for years to come, But i did put a picture of you in our holiday ad with your costume on and everyone loves it. You were the best and always will be. 11/14/03 I had a dream the other night. It was so real you came running back into the bedroom and into my arms and I got to hold you again. Thank you I love you 11/26/03 Well baby I hope you are getting all the turkey you want for thanksgiving just like you always used to. On this Thanksgiving I have 12 great years to be thankful for and they were some of the best years of my life because you were with me. You still are in my heart always. Happy Thanksgiving baby. I love you Christmas is a few days away. We put the tree up the other day and I couldn't find a more appropriate tree topper than your smiling face so I did some work on the computer and made it work. You look beautiful as always and when I walk in the room you are always there!!!!! Merry Christmas baby, and thank you for being there for us when Aussie got hit by that car. I know you were watching over us and helping her and it was a miracle that she is still with us to celebrate her 1st birthday today. I wish you were here with us but I know you will be there when we are all together celebrating... I love you and I hope you have a the best holiday! Florida wasn't the same without you. I know how you hated that ride but where we wound up was worth it in the end. It sure was different. I still think about you every day!! I guess that will never end and I actually hope it dosn't because you always make me smile!!! I've been thinking lately that if there is such a thing as a doggy soul mate, boy you were it!! When It comes to love I've all but given up cause life means nothing without you. I've been trying to get over you but it will take dying to get it done. The one my heart and soul confided in, the one I felt the safest with, the one who know just what to do to make me laugh again I miss the colors that you brought into my life, that golden smile, those blue, brown eyes but most of all I miss MY FRIEND!!! 4/16--Baby please keep Cody company. You guys grew up together and are together again. Take care of him like he took care of us until I see you both again. I love you. 6/25- Hey sweetie! Your birthday is coming.
