Pooh Bear
by Rebecca Southard
To my Pooh Bear, Baxter. Mommy had to do what she had to do & I know you know that. You were ready. You lived such a short life & I hate that. I also hate that you had to get sick & if mommy could have found a way to catch it early she would have. Your daddy & I gave you the best life we could & you sure fullfilled our life. I know you went for a reason, I just wish it would have been a better way. Mommy will always love you and miss you. You brightened my days & nights. You protected me while daddy was at work, you were there for me through hard times. I just hope you know that mommy really loved you & always will. I had to let you not suffer & go in peace. Please wait for me little buddy-I will be there one day. I miss you so much. I walk through the house wondering what you would be doing or where you would be laying. I know it will get better, I just hate losing you. Grandma told me today that when you were geting ready to go you looked at only mommy & mommy only looked at you & you told me you loved me, it felt so good to know that because I brought you into this homelife & I was going to be there for you till the end, knowing you were loved. You touched so many lives & so many hearts. I will never, ever forget you. I keep smelling your leash & the blankets & pillows you laid on & especially the couch, "your couch". Mommy & daddy will love you forever, especially mommy. You are in a better place now Baxter, mommy loves you Pooh Bear, wait for me I will be there someday.
