Lovingly remembering my dearest Almond (December 16, 1994-June 2, 2007) today, the anniversary of her birth

Happy birthday, my baby Almond, my Mondy, my Alimondmond, my Comebaby.

I love you, and I miss you so much, my dearest Comebaby.

We had wonderful years, didn't we? In many ways you saved my life.

You were there. Every day you were with me, you saved my life.

Thank you so much, my Comebaby.

I will love you forever.

Lovingly remembering Greta (1985-Nov. 7, 1998) on her death anniversary

My dearest Greta,

It was a sad day when we let go you. You were so frail already, and you were letting things by you. It was time.

But we loved you your entire life, and those of us who remain in this world still love you now, even now that you're gone.

You remember your "song hits" or how you wiggled on the floor. The store was your place. You were always gentle. Our biggest regret was that you never had puppies. It would have been nice if your line had survived somehow, dearest Greta.

I love you, I miss you. Maybe we shall meet again one day.

Lovingly remembering Five (Feb. 8-Sept. 30, 2012) today, his death anniversary

My dearest Five,

Always know that you are missed.

And you are loved, even though you are gone from our midst.

We are thankful for the years you gave us, you, the strongest of them all.

Five, Five, Five!!!

Remembering with love my dearest Vixen (September 1, 1998-December 20, 2011), today, the anniversary of her birth

My dearest baby,

Happy birthday. The years that we spent together were so special. We lay beside each other every night. Many times you even lay on me, on my neck, because you were afraid of the rain.

I love you, my baby, and I miss you so much. From the very start, I believe, you were meant for me. We had wonderful times, those happy, little, everyday things. Just the way you would wake up and come to me while I was working, seeking attention. I look forward to the day we can be together again.

I love you, my dearest Vixen. Always.

Remembering with love my dearest Garpy (Dec. 29, 1982-Aug. 10, 1991), today, the anniversary of his death

My dearest Garpy,

It was a terrible day when I lost you. The days that followed were terrible times as well.

You were the best of me and for me till you left. You were the light in the dark days.

I will always love you.

From Dickens: "Farewell, dear darling of my soul. A parting blessing on my love. We shall meet again, where the weary are at rest." ("A Tale of Two Cities")

I love you, my Garpolito. May we be together again soon.
