This tribute to John Wayne really touched my heart... I had to read it to my husband who was touched as well. We lost one of our Yorkies, Butchie, to a tragic accident too. He drowned in a neighbors pool. We beat ourselves up about it also with all the could have, would have and should have's. He was only 4 years old and my hubbie's favorite. Time will dull the pain but JW will always be in your heart. It has been 8 years for us and I can smile now when I see Butch's photo. But sometimes I will open up his music box that contain his ashes and hear the music "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away...." and I still get tears in my eyes. Sending you hugs and strength to get through this. Give a kiss to that new boy from us! |
