The year you were born, Daddy died
The day you were born, we had our first snowfall of the year
Your mom, Amber, wanted to have you alone,
But I walked in just as you took your first breath
When it was time to leave the nest, no one wanted you
So I bought you instead, paying full price
You were my Christmas present, coming home on the 24th of December
I couldn't keep you, so off to my mom's you went
I visited every day, walking with you a thrill
In June I moved to Ashern and six weeks later I came back for you!
Finally we could live together, no one would ever stop us again!
Wherever I went, my baby Bobbie did too
Discovering fox holes in Claudia's yard with Bear, what a hoot!
Strangers tried to buy you, NO NO NO I would say
You came into the stores with me, for fear someone would try to steal you. You were never left alone!
And then you were two years old; hyper and happy, active to boot!
We both had life by the golden horns, hanging on, and laughing til our sides ached and getting right back up for some more
At the end of July I found out we were going back to the city
Mommy was going to college, Bobbie was going to be a groom first!
The wedding was set for August 14th,
People already said yes to puppies that would never come
The 9th of August was spent sleeping in until you demanded I finally get up to take you for a walk with your brand new leash!
What a hot and muggy day! I was busy doing laundry
WHY did I open that front door with a full basket, I always used the back door; Bobbie, you were so small, you fit through just fine
I yelled for you to come back, your leash I had in my hand!
You ran, stopped and turned to look once more at Mommy, and kept going towards highway #6!!!
The song ended when you died in my arms after being hit by Bob Hare
Ye, the song did end..but the melody carries on.
And Baby Bobbie, I wouldn't have missed that dance for the world!!
The melody of memories is just as fresh today as they were on Nov. 1, 1989 when you took your first breath and on Aug.9, 1992 when you took your last.
What a privilage and honor it was to be there for both!!
Mommy loves you lots, now run and play, your safe and no one can ever hurt you again. I saw your wings for the first time today, there absolutely beautiful Bobbie and so are you!!
Love Mommy
