This is one of my favorite pictures of Abby Louise. She and James and I went to Santa Fe together several years ago. She loved to stay at the Inn of the Anasazi - (yes, this girl dog had expensive taste!). On the way down, we stopped at the Great Sand Dunes. Abby loved romping in the sand. She looks so happy here and always had the best smile in the world.It was two months ago yesterday that she passed away. I miss her every day but she is with me in my heart...always. I found another poem that I really love from "When Only the Love Remains". It is what I hope Abby might be feeling...when she thinks about me.
Best Friends Are Forever
I've left you in body,
But oh how my spirit
Sings only the love that you gave me;
And still, I feel warmth of your
loving words to me,
Your poems make my heart fully swell.
My life, it did end so abruptly,
I watched as you suffered so openly;
Well please dry your tears
So that I can dry mine,
Remember, best friends are forever.
I've left you in body,
But oh how my spirit
Sings only the love that you gave me;
And still, I feel warmth of your
loving words to me,
Your poems make my heart fully swell.
My life, it did end so abruptly,
I watched as you suffered so openly;
Well please dry your tears
So that I can dry mine,
Remember, best friends are forever.
