Aaron and I spent part of the weekend putting together a memory box for her. I really like how it turned out. The large white circle is a pawprint impression that the vet's office made for us.
I also did this little pencil sketch of her.
There are other things that remind us of her. See the dark green spots on the lawn? Those are where she peed. For some reason, every spot she peed grew the darkest, thickest, quickest growing grass you could image! We see these every time we leave the house.
Cisco really liked to tear apart tennis balls. Sam didn't take any of his out of the toybox while she was here, because this is what happened when she found them. We've noticed he has brought out several since Saturday.
Sam really seems to be missing his big sister. He wakes me up at night because he is lonely and wants company. I've noticed he has inspected the whole house, as if he thinks she is in one of the other rooms.
Every picture we find right now is so precious. Even the funny ones taken on my cell phone.
...or the one taken in my truck.
Ahhhhhhhhh!

Sometimes life just isn't fair, and there's not a darn thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThis is just one of those times.
Tears over here too! That BIG LOVE that Cisco shared. Hold on tight to that precious spirit. And, sweet Sam! Lots of hugs and love to him. What a tender post.

Memories....how nice to reflect back....Cisco will be with you forever in your heart. It is so hard when our dear ones must leave us.
ReplyDeleteYou just planted a great idea in Mom's head for a way to remember Dakota - your memory box is beautiful. Phantom was a lot like Sam for a couple of months, always looking around for his sissy. With time it does get better.
