Midge- We went in to the store to get a bird and then the entire family was drawn to a little white puff sitting quietly in her cage. After the person at the store let us play with you, we were no longer interested in a bird. Some of the best times in my life were walking with you in the fields, playing punchcard, and falling asleep next to you many a nights. When you started to get older, I think we grew even closer. We walked slower together but we still walked..together. I can't tell you how many times just a thought of you would make my day okay. When you started to have trouble walking, hearing and seeing it was tough for me to watch. I wanted so much to take the pain from you, I would have my friend, if I could have. But you didn't complain, you just continued to do what you have always done best...give love. I know your running freely now and someday we will run together once again. When people ask who or what was a major inspiration in my life, the answer will be you. Kisses and hugs my sweet midge, and know you will never be forgotten- D
