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! |
I read your post and it made me cry. I am so happy that the "you are my sunshine" song surrounds your baby's ashes. I remember that song being sung to me by my mother when I was very small....every once in awhile she will call me up and start singing it. It is the perfect song for a mother and her baby. Thank you so much for sharing. I will be extra cautious when my pup is near pools/water because of your story.
