GotcHa Day Number 12


One of my very favorite photos of my beloved Angel Abby.

Today is ... hard.
Today is... in memory of Abby's Gotcha Day from 2005.
It would have been and I suppose it still is
12 years ago.
12 years seems like such a short period, 
and yet a long one too.
I don't know how time tricks us like that.
But, I will always remember,
that old cliche about 
eyes meeting from across the room
and suddenly,
you just knew your world had changed.
It happened to me and Abby.
I will never ever forget it Abby.
I will always be so eternally grateful that it happened.
I will always be grateful and happy for you.

***
In French, I’ve read, you don’t say I miss you.  
You say Tu me manques, which means you are missing from me.

  1. Oh I'm a bit teary eyed. I guess the French say it best. Be happy that Abby happened in your life.

  7. That is indeed a wonderful portrait of your girl. Twelve years can go by so quickly; any period of time can. So much can be done in that time, and so much left undone.

  13. These anniversaries are always hard once our special fur children cross the Bridge. Our thoughts are with you today.

    We are slowly reconnecting with our friends since Mom Paula retired and hope to see you more often.
