Sonny

Sonny came into my life at a time I didn’t know I needed him. He quickly became our baby, and brought us so much joy. We will miss the early morning baths after you’d found a mud hole in the yard just before we had to leave for work or school. Oh I how I would fuss as you would cock your head unbothered that I was about to be late. I now know it was just your way of spending a little extra morning time with us. Although Daddy often complained about getting your hair up off the floor, he’d give anything to sweep it up just one more time and enjoy the companionship that y’all shared. We will miss the cute, clever ways you would ease away from Greyson and Avery after they had gotten on your nerves for the last time. Isaac will miss the friendship and rides the two of you shared in the old pickup, and Naomi will miss pestering you until your bark told her you’d had enough. As for Mommy, I’ll miss the way you made my heart sing when you were the only one that met me at the door after a long day, us sharing cubes of your favorite cheese and pretending we weren’t doing anything when we were spotted. What I’ll miss most though is your snoring as you slept peacefully at my bedside. You were my protector when I needed you most and Sonny now that you have crossed the Rainbow Bridge I want you to run and play in the green meadow until we meet again. My dearest Sonny, you will always be my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye. I’ll love you always.
