Since my last post, the month anniversary of your passing has passed, twice.  Easter has passed and today is Mother's Day.  I want to tell you that you are never forgotten, always loved and thought of everyday!  Little things remind me of you everyday...honeysuckle at the park, a dream or a comment about my tattoo.  You are missed everyday, but esp. on a day like today. 

Loving and missing you,

Momma

I love you Mr. D!!  I think I have said every single thing I could ever think to say to you.  I miss you every single day.  I was just talking about you the other day, telling a friend about how I really feel that your soul was with me before and that I know we will be together again.  If there was any other thing we could have done to save you, we would have.....you know that for sure.  Although time has softened the pain and hurt, no amount of time can completely heal the pain of your loss.  Dakota is a love though and she brings us so much happiness.  You would like her, she is a silly, sweet girl and could probably go toe to toe with you in her love of food!!  Maybe she would have been one dog you would have really liked.

Love you so much......

Well, another month has passed since you left us.  Hard to believe that it has been that long!  What a day today....windy and rainy.  I remember you hated days like this.  You could not get out for a walk and you hated to go outside to potty in the rain.  Dakota hates it too!  Just like you, I have to put an umbrella up for her to go outside, but even then, she freaks out!  Found an old pic of my dog, Alkie.  It is amazing how much you looked like him.  I lokk at that picture and wonder if you had been with me before.  If so, maybe you will be with me again?  We will see each other again for sure, no matter what!  I love you Donovan and as always, I miss you and think about you all of the time.  Found a nice pic of you and Jess the other day and she could not even look at it!  It makes her cry...we all miss you so much!

Love,

Momma : :

I found some old pictures of you today.  Every time I find a new one, it is like a little gift from you!  You really are the most handsome dog I have ever seen in my life!!  You were so perfect in every way!  I miss you so much, we all do.  I will scan these photos so I can make sure that they are safe.  I love you Donovan!!

Love,
Momma

Merry Christmas Mr. D!!!  Love you...thinking about you today and always.


Love,

My Dearest Donovan,

It is 27 months since you left us.  December is a hard month.  Not only have you been gone 27 months, but this is our 3rd Christmas without you.  I just cannot believe it still.  We would have also celebrated your 10th birthday this month!!  Instead, you are gone.  You are not here to celebrate the holidays and your birthday with us and I miss you so much!  I still hang your Christmas stocking.  I can't stand the thought of not hanging it with the rest of ours.  This year, I bought Dakota a Christmas thing to wear around her neck.  She does not seem too happy about that.  Just like when poppa made you wear a chargers shirt and hat!!  You put up with it, but the expression on your face said it all!!  Good news, little Donovan was adopted on December 12th.  He was adopted by a nice guy named Dave.  I thought it fitting that he was adopted by Dave.  It will be Dave and Donovan, just as it was always Deneen and Donovan.  Ironically, it was a rainy day when he was adopted, just like when we adopted you in March of 2000!  Little Donovan will carry your name on and be a living tribute to you for years to come.   You are loved and missed Donovan.  One of a kind, my best friend, twin flame, whatever I call it, you are special and loved always.  Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday and love to you always,.

Love, Momma :

Happy Thanksgiving my handsome boyfriend!!  Wish you were here to eat some turkey!!  Love you.

Momma.....

Hello, my sweet Donovan.  It has been 26 months now since you left.  The time goes by so fast.  Dakota had surgery yesterday to have a lump on her leg removed.  Poppa and I had to take turns laying on the floor next to her bed to make sure she did not chew her stitches.  It reminded me of the nights that we had to sleep next to you while you were sick.  There are not many creatures that I would do that for, you and Dakota happen to be two of them.  You were always so brave and strong thru your illness, you never seemed to complain.  I am sorry that you had to go thru that and I always wish there was something more we could have done.  I love you and miss you Donovan.  I say it all of the time, but it is true.  I will never stop loving you.  You touched my heart and life and will never be forgotten.  26 months, or years will not change that! 

Love,
Momma

My Dear Donovan,

Another month has passed since you left us.  I love and miss you still, we all do.  We named one of Juno's puppies after you.  We thought that would be a nice tribute to you.  Little Donovan is very handsome, just like you and I know he will grow to be a strong and wonderful dog.  He will make a family very happy and make a great best friend.  You are never far from my thoughts and always in my heart.  What more can I say?  You know how I feel.  You are so missed by your family.  I love you.

Momma
