You were the first of my babies to go,
all those long 16 years ago.

I learned how much love could hurt,
when faced with a death that was the first.

To our sorrow David followed you one year later,
but you were waiting for him, your love could not be greater.

I am sure you were there when the "Girlies" were born,
to guide White Socs became your plan from the day she was born.

You coached her well there is no disputing,
follow your Mommie, go when you are called and
sit up & beg for food was your tutoring.

All these things reminded me of you.

Now you all have been reunited,
You, David, Runtie, (Lady) and now White Socs.

I have loved you all more than you can know,
please wait for me then teach me how to grow.

With much love & gratitude,
Your Mommie
