It's Your Rebirthday

My Dearest Isabel,
Today is your rebirthday; the first that has come since your passing and moving on to the rainbow bridge. I've been so busy that I nearly forgot. You would have celebrated your sixth rebirthday; the day you came home in the middle of a hurricane, and came on by storm into my life.

I love you so. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you: your big smile, the way you greeted me when I came home, the way you were such a good big sister to Rosie, and how you would protect Moo Cow and Nora from Rosie's overly enthusiastic advances.

I see so much of you in Shelly. She shares your enthusiasm for everything, your expressive ears, and even your stubborn streak. I hope you can feel it when I rub her belly.

Rosie still misses you I think. She and Shelly aren't as tight as you too were, but they are getting closer and love to play some of the same games, though ring around hedge isn't as fun. Shelly hasn't figured out that it's about the chase, not the actual catching, but still it's a good workout.

I miss everything about you, but most of all I just miss having you here. You left me too soon my girl. This empty space in my heart is never going to go away until we meet again.

I love you so my Shellies. Watch over us, okay? We still need you.

Happy Rebirthday love to you,

Your ever-lovin' Dad.
