My dear old friend you have loved me well. You have been my teacher, my pillow, and defender, my voice, my listener, and best keeper of secrets; I cannot repay you for your unwavering love loyalty and patience. However, I will do my best and in memory of your great life, I will strive to be the person you saw in me, and I will teach your goodness to my children, and hope they do the same. You will live forever with me, I will always love you, and am eternally grateful. ~~Toria; in memory of Bauer, the massive chocolate lab that got us into this mess.
