This is the letter Mom sent to me. I got it just hours after she released it!
April 1, 1997 to April 4, 2008
Our loving son, Samuel Jacob,
Can it really have been a full year since you went on your final journey? While we felt, at the time we were releasing you from your Earthly body, our hearts still hurt for the emptiness we feel without you.
So much of your life was happy, but the last years were not. They will be the ones that taught us so much, and make us cry. You endured so much pain for us, and always with a smile.
Yes, dogs DO smile.
You definitely taught us that.
I still miss lying next to you on the bed. Sometimes I want to pat the bed to ask you to lie with me. I miss the way you cuddled me up tight-tight. Never again will a baby lie on our chest and take our jaw into their mouth with the love you did. You made us laugh and cry so much. And though we have done our best to honor you by moving on, the void will never be filled.
I sometimes wish I was still trapped still at home, taking care of you, than to have all the freedom we have to explore. Those months, and hours upon hours we spent together were priceless.
How proud we are of you, son. We always will be.
You have come to me in dreams, dear boy.
I hope it was my glimpse into heaven.
Please, wait for us.
My only hope is to be able to hold you once again, in heaven.
So many friends have been sending their love to us, and to you. You touched so many people. You made us proud, so very proud.
We love you, Monkey Boy!
Now and Forever,
Mommy & Daddy,
Mickey, Sara, Baby Cat, Wally & Jenny
