Annie

Annie, losing you so suddenly has been very difficult for me. I just have not been able to accept you being gone and I do not know how to deal with it. I know time will heal my hurt and maybe even heal my broken heart. I just can't help my pain is so great. I feel as though we were cheated some how. I miss you so much baby girl. I know that with life comes death but I was not prepared to loss you so suddenly. I have such fond memories of you running and playing. You enjoyed hide and seek and chase. These were such wonderful times for us. We had so much fun together. What will I do without you waiting on me everyday when I return home from work? At night you were always ready to come to bed and share my pillow and sleep next to me all night long. All I had to do was tell you lets go to bed, Annie and you would come running. You would sing me to sleep with your purring and we both would just fall right to sleep. No matter what I was doing or where I was you were always there. You loved to lay in my lap. But now my lap and my pillow are empty. I know that you did not want to leave me. I did not want to let you go. My heart has been broken into. You will always be a part of my life and I will never let your memory die. I hope you will come and see me in my dreams as much as you can. Your daddy (Brian) and your three brothers(Smokey, Teddy and Charlie) are missing you too. Your brother Smokey is searching for you everywhere and cries for you a lot. So as you look down from heaven and look upon us just remember we miss you and will see you again. Just not soon enough for me. Now sleep my baby girl. Now sleep my little girl. Now sleep my beautiful princess. All these names are what you were and always will be in my heart.
