Great Grandma is coming to Heaven!!!

I feel so bad for my poor family.
My Great-Grandma (Mommy's Grandma) is coming to Heaven soon.
My whole family is so sad and upset. They love Grandma so much. Grandma has cancer really bad, and the doctors can't do anything for her.

If I could only tell my family somehow, how beautiful Heaven is, they wouldn't worry. If they knew how amazing and wonderful it is here, then they would be happy for Grandma. Grandma will be so happy and nothing will ever hurt her again!
When Grandma gets to Heaven, I am going to meet her at the gate! I will be waiting for her with my Grandpa (Grandma's Husband)

I haven't seen Grandma in 3 years now, so I will be able to spend lots of time with her. She has been scratching Idgie and Jordan's backs ever since I came to Heaven, so it will be nice for me to have Grandma's undivided attention!
I can't wait to see her! I have missed Grandma so...
I can't wait to kiss her and hug her and sit on her lap!

I love you so much Grandma! I will be watching and waiting for you!
When I see you I will hug you and never let you go again!

Dear Savanna

I just wanted to let you know that I am still missing you every day; today especially - as if all of this happened only yesterday.
I cannot wait for the day to come, where I can hold you forever, and never have to let you go again...
I love you with all of my heart,
Mommy xo xo xo

You will ALWAYS be MY Sunshine!

Dear Savanna -

I changed the song that I had on your page.
I found, "You Are My Sunshine" by Elizabeth Mitchell, and it was so pretty.

I thought that it was more fitting, because this is the song that I sang to you every day of your life, from the very first night that I picked you up from the Humane Society and you became my very first rescued fur-daughter.

I haven't sang this song, since the last time I sang it to you.
I don't know if I ever will again. Not to Idgie and not to Jordan.
It's strange, it's almost SACRED, because it is YOUR song.

Mommy loves you Savanna, and even though I can't hold you in my arms today - I know I will someday...and on that day, I will sing to you again..."YOU are MY Sunshine" as tears of joy trickle down my smiling face.

I'm sending kisses and hugs to Heaven for you hunny bunny!

Love Always,
Mommy xo xo xo

Fly, Little Wing....

Dear Savanna,

I finally added your song to your page. Your song. It's so perfect and fitting, and when you first passed away, I put a picture of you together with the words of this song, and everyone loved it.

I know that it's been over three years. I know that I probably shouldn't still miss you as much as I do - but I do.
You were so much a part of my life....as a matter of fact, you "were" my life.

What I would give, if only for one minute, to hug you and kiss your pink nose again. My heart aches every single day for you, my first baby, my best friend in the whole world. The only thing that makes me feel better, is that I know that your Grandma (my Mom) and your Grandpa (my Grandpa) are both holding you and hugging and kissing you for Mommy, until we can all be together again. Tell Grandpa not to give you too much Liverwurst!!! Tell Grandma not to spoil you too much!

Mommy loves you SOOOOOOO much - and Love NEVER, EVER dies.
I am sending my hugs and kisses to Heaven for you, my little love.
Keep them with you until I can hug and kiss you myself, and then, I will never let go of you again.

Love,
Mommy xo xo xo

Today is my 3rd Angel-versary

Today marks my 3rd Angel-versary, which means that three years ago, on this day at around 4:20pm, I came to the Rainbow Bridge part of Heaven.

I have been watching my family today. My poor Mommy misses me so much, and she's been crying alot today.
Gosh, if she only knew how happy I am, and how young I feel, and how beautiful I am - she would never ever cry.

I am sending all of my Angel love and hugs and kisses to my Mommies, and to Idgie and Jordan from Heaven!
You might not be able to see me, but I am still with you, and I love you the same today, as I did when I was a little kid.

Everything will be okay - and someday, we'll all be together again.
I'll be watching you with love, and waiting patiently for you.

Love,
Your first fur-daughter and Guardian Angel,
Savanna Whispers xo xo xo

Savanna's Memorial Video

Dear Savanna-
My heart aches from missing you today.
Last night, I finally figured out, or so I think, how to put your DVD onto a Dogster video. I have watched it a million times, and a million times I've cried.

Now everyone can get a small sample of how special and precious you were, and still are to me.
I am missing you today, as if you just left for Heaven yesterday.
If I close my eyes, you are still there in my arms - if only for 5 seconds.

You brought me through so much in my life. There are times when I look back, that I wonder how we made it through - Gosh, we were BOTH kids when we adopted each other.

There were tough times, when I was younger - where we ate macaroni and cheese, cause there was nothing else.
There were times, when I was younger, that I had trouble finding an apartment that would accept pets - and people, even my family, told me to "JUST GET RID OF THE DOG" AND THINGS WILL BE EASIER.
Remember me telling all of them, that I would rather live in a cardboard box, than without you? We showed all of them, didn't we?!
Little did they know, that if I got rid of you, things would have been ALOT tougher for me.
What would I have done when my Mom died - who would have helped me, and loved me, and kissed my tears away?

Savanna, you were the BEST friend, anyone could ever have. You taught me more than any person could ever teach me in a LIFETIME!
You are the TRUE definition and example of unconditional love.

I love you and I will always love you more than life itself.
I will always miss you.

When I die, and my angel asks me, "What was your favorite thing about life on earth?" I will reply softly and with a smile..."It was my Savanna."

I held you, until your last breath, my precious baby girl -
And I shall love you - until MY last breath.

Love,
Mommy xo xo xo

To my Savanna - "Before I was a Dog Mom"

BEFORE I WAS A DOG MOM


Before I was a Dog Mom:
I made and ate hot meals unmolested. I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone, even if the doorbell rang.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got to bed or if I could get into my bed.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I cleaned my house every day. I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies;
or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags, toilet paper, soap or
deodorant were poisonous or dangerous.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never been peed-on, pooped-on, drooled-on, chewed-on
Or pinched by puppy teeth.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had complete control of my thoughts, my body and mind.
I slept all night without sharing the covers or pillow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be fore I was a Dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged could affect my heart so deeply.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping puppy just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside to feed a hungry puppy.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth,
the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being
a Dog Mom...

Thank you sweetheart, for giving me the HONOR of being your "Dog Mom"
I love you with all of my heart - but I know that you already know that.
-Mommy

How does one become a Butterfly???

"How does one become a butterfly?"
Pooh asked pensively...

"You must want to fly so much that you're
willing to give up being a caterpillar,"
piglet replied......

"You mean you die?"
Asked pooh.
"Yes and no" he answered.

"What looks like you die but what's REALLY you live on."

Happy Birthday Savanna!

Happy Birthday, my little love.
I miss you every single day of my life, but today I miss you more.
Three years ago, Mommy made you and Idgie steak for your birthday...I wonder what your having for your birthday today in Heaven.
October will soon be here, and it will be 3 years since you left us. The ache in my heart is still here, and I don't think it will ever go away.
I hope that you have fun with all of your angel friends, but I also hope that you will remember that you have your Mommy that loves you here on earth, with Mommy Kelly-Anne and your little sister Idgie, and Jordie too.
I gave Jordan your name for her middle name, so that you would always love her and watch over her and keep her safe for me.
I love you so much, my sweet Savanna Whispers. You are always in my heart, no matter where I go or what I do...I carry you with me.
Please stay close to Mommy. I need you.
Happy Birthday, my angel.
Love and God Bless you,
Mommy xo xo xo

Flutter by - Butterfly

A butterfly alights down beside us,
like a ray of sunbeam;
and its beauty and splendor surrounds us all.
But suddenly it flies off again,
and although we wish it would have stayed,
we feel so fortunate to have seen it at all...


I love you and miss you every day, my little sweet pea.
Thank you for your unconditional love, and for teaching me how to appreciate the MOMENT... Flutter by, my Butterfly!
Love,
Mommy xo xo xo
