Moby

The look in your eyes. Is it worry, sadness, or pain? This is the image I have of your last few moments on this earth.

You were a gift to me at 6 weeks old. Your companionship and love saved my life.

I remember all those times you drank too much water and then gave me a kiss with drool and slobber. It never bothered me. I would just laugh.

I remember opening the back door when we lived with my brother and watching you LEAP off the deck and run. Just run until you couldn't run anymore.

I remember you waiting for me every day. Waiting for me to come back home to you.

You were always such a sweet boy. You loved everyone.

One memory that always stands out in my mind is driving in the car. You always loved to go with me anywhere. You always had your head out the window with slobber flying!

You grew old over the years and couldn't stand up in the car as it was moving. But on your last day, you were determined to stand and stand until the car stopped. You brought so much happiness to my heart.

That day you left me to go back to heaven, a piece of my heart died too. You will carry that piece until we meet again. And on that day...I will never let you go.

I love you Moby - today, tomorrow and forever more.
