My Story

Smiles

Dear Max,

Thank you for sending down your smiles to me. Today as I was driving into work I was thinking about you and missing you. Trying to remember everything about you. You were starting to fade from my memory and just become the snapshots that I have. But then I could see, very clearly, your smiling face with your tongue hanging out. I could feel your breathe on my arm as you sat next to me, leaning on me as you always did. Your way of "claiming me". Thank you for sending down those Angel memories. I miss you so very very much!!

Love, Mom

Sadness

Dear Max,

Just when I think I can talk about your passing without crying I get "tested". Yesterday I ran into some neighbors at the grocery store and asked if they had heard about Max. They are big dog people too and we talk all the time when they are walking their Golden, Robin. Do remember her? You used to greet her through the fence on our walks. They said they had heard about you. Another neighbor had told them. They were also outside when it happened and heard me scream. Max, I don't remember screaming but I guess I did. Talking about it brought back the memories of that terrible day. I didn't cry but the rest of the day I was somber and sad. I miss you so much and I feel as though I am forgetting you. I just want to feel you again. Here your little high pitched bark. Time will heal I guess. I am glad you are having so much fun with your new Bridge friends. And, I know that when I need you you will be there to hover over me and keep me company.

I love you Maxie, my little man, my little pumpkin pie.

Love,
Mom

One More Time

To feel the softness of your fur, One More Time
To put my face next to yours, One More Time
To laugh at you smell your own farts, One More Time
To roll down the car window so you can feel the wind on your face, One More Time
To feel your cold nose on my neck as I fall asleep, One More Time
To see you watch the neighborhood perched on the back of the couch, One More Time
To laugh at you stealing your fursisters toys, One More Time
To rub your tummy, One More Time
To cuddle with you on the couch, One More Time
To take you for a drive around the block so you’ll get out of the car, One More Time
To see your wagging tail and smiling face as I come home from work, One More Time
To feel your tongue on my face, One More Time
To tell you my secrets, One More Time
To play tug of war, One More Time
To see you cuddle with your fursisters, One More Time
To rub your ears, One More Time
To see my friend, One More Time
