My sweet Pete lost his battle with DCM at 12:55am today. For the first time in many months all his boys (my 4 sons) were at home together. Our hearts and lives will never be the same again. We will miss him forever.

These are the last pictures of him from vacation this past week. He had a great time.

I'm so sorry, Carol. I just now saw this.

I know exactly how you feel, it takes the wind right out of your sails. ( I lost my Mavis the exact same way )

We'll never know why these things happen, or how this fits into the plan, because we're not supposed to know - at least not yet.

You and Petey were lucky to have each other.

I love Gracie beyond telling; she is perfect for our household and we enjoy every moment we spend with her. She brings joy into our lives.

That does not keep me from still crying now and then over how much I miss our Soda Pup-Pup who we lost the beginning of January.

I think it's merely sane to have and allow a full range of emotions.

It hurts and there's no easy way past the hurt. The only sane path runs right through it.

And Petey was special; no way around that.

I am sorry for your heartache. And I know you wouldn't take back one single moment you were fortunate enough to have had with Petey. Even if it would save you the hurt you have now.

Cleaning out my email folders at work today I came across this poem I had sent to myself. I sent it the same exact day that Petey would end up dying 3 years later, August 14, 2008. I want to share it with everyone who has gone through Petey's life with me.


When I am gone, Release me, Let me go-
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
... Be thankful for our beautiful years.

I gave to you my love, You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, Call, And I will come.
Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near,
And if you listen with your Hearts, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear,
And then, when you come this way alone
I'll greet you with a smile and say

"Welcome Home"
