| A poem that I know many of you will relate to... I've thought about Freeway every single day since the day he died, and I still cry for him every so often. It's crazy, but I even had the date he died wrong in my signature. I realized that as I went back through some of the stuff I had written during that time. It's funny how sometimes we can push things, such as a date, so far out of our heads... a coping mechanism perhaps. I always find the whole month of May really hard, so I guess the actual day just didn't stick as the years passed. I've come to the conclusion that Christmas is hard. The holidays are always tough, but since we lost him they've been even harder. This year, I also am dealing with my first Christmas without my grandma as well, and I sware, it's nearly enough to send me over the deep end. I'm hanging in, holding tight to the knowledge that better days lay ahead, and that this time next year I will be sharing Christmas with my first yorkie. That gives me a little bit of comfort, but I am 100% emotionally drained, and it's getting worse as the 25th gets closer. I wrote this shortly after I lost Freeway, and while he wasn't a yorkie, we all love our animals the same no matter the breed. I figured some of you might be able to relate and thought maybe it might bring some of you who are grieving right now some comfort. It honestly does comfort me to be able to remember all he gave, and that those feelings still remain. Hang in there and know it does get easier as time passes... not easy.. just easier. My Little Miracle Every breath was a miracle Every bark such a joy Every mess you made with a treat Every loud squeak of every toy Every single kiss good morning And the good night kisses too My baby, they were all such pleasures And to my heart they quickly flew Every punishment I gave Every angry word I said Was swiftly replaced with so much love As you’d come to lay your head Every tear I cried in solitude They were always heard by you And you’d rush to my side to comfort And comfort is exactly what you’d do With you I was never alone You’d always get past that line Pushing past the black the world had left You brought me light, sweet baby of mine Without you I am so broken Each day harder than the last Would do anything to hold you Like the sweet days in the past To feel your soft fur in my fingers To see the love in your eyes To know you felt comforted and safe To hear your soft and soothing sighs Oh, how I long for you tonight And every night I live To have you at my feet right now There’s nothing I wouldn’t give How to go on without you I haven’t quite figured out I do know I will miss you forever Of this I have no doubt I pray that you are happy No more fear, no more pain Have fun while you wait for me One day we’ll be together again I continue on each day, broken But thankful that you were here For life without knowing you Wouldn’t have been worth it, my sweet dear For every breath was a miracle Every step of furry paws Every kiss so quickly broke All of my hearts so stringent laws For teaching me how to love And loving me in return You were my little miracle And for you I will forever yearn.

| Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful poem. Tears are streaming down my face as I type; I lost my beautiful schnauzer girl Sachi in April, and can relate to the heart ache you feel. Holidays do bring up all kinds of emotions, and it can be overwhelming sometimes. Take care of yourself, and focus on any tiny piece of joy you can find to get you thru this troubling time. Thinking about a Yorkie in your future is sure something to be happy about. I got my Yorkie 6 weeks after losing Sachi, and she has brought us soooo much joy it is unbelievable. We decided to double the fun and added a Morkie to the family a few months later, and our lives are truly blessed! Holiday hugs to you, and may you have a Happy New Year!
