I lost the love of my life when my first skunk Sew-Phey died in my arms July 29, 2003. I was devastated. Nine days later sweet Sadie Rose came to me. She was a devil but I loved her too. We were only given 18 months together until she too crossed over Februaly 4, 2005.
I was not going to get another one, until I was coming home from work one night and saw a beautiful sunset! The colors were pink, gold and speckled with purple and all the dark clouds looked like...
skunks! It was just my imagination playing tricks on my sad soul!
I needed another sign. That night I had a dream about Sadie Rose. She was crawling towards me from the foot of my bed. I grabbed her and hugged and kissed her and wept! She struggled to move away from me when I noticed a piece of paper in her mouth. Just before she vanished from the foot of the bed I grabbed the piece of paper from her mouth. I was half awake and half in the dream. I opened up the note and in scribbling it simply said:"Name her Calliope Mommy! I love you, Sadie Rose." I took the note and placed it under my pillow. When I awoke the next morning I frantically searched for the little note, but never found it. That was my second sign I needed to convince myself that there was another love waiting for me. On June 9, 2005 Calliope Jane came to me. She had my beloved Sew-Phey's face, but Sadie Rose's devilish personality. I was in love for the last time! I will always cherish the deep love that I shared with Sew-Phey and Sadie Rose, but I am convinced now that second chances do happen. Thank you my sweet girls for sending me a second chance!
I'll love you forever...until we meet at the Rainbowsbridge, Mommy
