Your sweet little post made me think so much of my Dad...and how much I miss him and his pups......and you too will grieve like my Pop did.....and I am so happy that you came here to grieve with all of us.....
God bless you and maybe someday you can find a spot in your heart for another Yorkie friend....  |
Hello Saleswman,
I'm a little late replying. please forgive me, yet as I posted eons ago, it seem's at least, I intended to reply to all the friends kind post.
I find your post to be the saddest, and most heart breaking of all I read, I'm finding it very difficult to find the proper words, when my grief pales into insignificance with what you have suffered through.

How dear of you to associate me with your father, I am sincerely honored yet at the sametime humbled, I don't know how sweet I am but much like your Dad, I alway's loved animals, and brought a number of stray dog's home when I was younger, and a couple of cat's, my mother used to go crazy, not that she didn't love animal's, I just went, shall I say beyond what would be considered reasonable.

Your Dad's love I see extended to every aspect of his life, he was more than just sweet, 7 children, and the dog's ? I would say his heart overflowed with love, understanding, and patience, he was a true blessing indeed, how much you must miss him, I am so very sorry he's no longer with you, sincerely sorry.
From your shall I call short bio of your Dad, I can assure you we are very much alike, everything you related of him, I saw, felt in myself, with the exception of having 7 children, If I didn't know any better I would think you were writting about me, I so thank you for seeing me in the same light, your Dad must have been very proud of you, loved you very much, yes, a very special Dad you had, and very special daughter he had.
On a lighter note, can I adopt you ?
Saleswman, I have thanked so many here over and over for their kindness, it's as if the words thank you, seem to lose meaning, that being said, I still wish to thank you from my heart for sharing the kind of person your father was, how he loved those pups, it meant so much to me.
I am so grateful for your kindness, and encouargement.
My sincere, and heartfelt thank you.
Papi
