You are still so vivid in our memories! How can it be, that it has been seven years since you passed away and left us.
The agony, the unbearable pain, the hole in our hearts …..! We are crushed - no it doesn’t get better.
The missing you since you have been gone …..! Gone?? You are not gone because “we find you everywhere! We miss your grace, your beauty, your infectious smile.
We hear the front door open - you are home, telling us about your day at the Humane Society. The story may have started out with “the concern” - “the rescuing”, but it always ended with relief, happiness, even joy. The joy you felt for the animals, in their home, at the Humane Society, because you knew “they were safe now”! An animal lover through and through. What integrity!! You made us so proud!!!
We walk into the kitchen and you are there. Taking the time to prepare the next amazing, and we mean delicious; OHHH! The wonderful aromas of your vegan meal. Taking the time to get it right. You took so much pride in everything you did!
We are still amazed at your immense strength, resourcefulness, your wisdom, yet you were so humble and respectful.
We look at out van and you are there with your beautiful smile, laughter and guidance as we drove off to our holiday destination. Of course, accompanied by our two precious dogs - Belle and Luc (they’re with Jillian in the picture) - how you loved them!
We see Dad waving to you and Mom as you drove off on a shopping adventure. It won’t be long before you pop in a CD and the singing begins.
Your spirit, your soul, your presence is all around us. When we have moments to ourselves, we wonder where you are, we wonder what you are doing, we so look forward to “seeing” you again.
You have been gone for seven years. We remember your kindness, your beautiful smile, your caring, your compassion. We are so very proud of you. You were so positive. You did make the world a much better, kinder, happier place - you did so much good!
We are still so very sad that you had to leave. We had so many “looking forward to doing things with you “ plans. It is hard to put into words how much we love you; how much we miss you! The pain and devastation are still with us.
Our beautiful, precious, perfect daughter/sister. Oh my god!, How can you be “gone”!?!?
Love,
Mom, Dad and Colin
