Callie

September 1985-October 8, 2003

 

Callie, you have been gone a week now. I miss you so very much. 
You were my precious daughter, my best buddy, taking care of me 
while Mommy was away in the Army. We both were so proud of her.

 

I fondly remember how you sat purring in my lap as I worked at the 
computer. How you cuddled on my chest as we watched Braves games 
together. How you loved to sleep with Mommy and me when it wasn’t 
too hot. Thank you for nearly 14 wonderful years together. Thanks for 
sharing your house with us.

 

You occupied nearly all of my thoughts and time after you got sick with 
Chronic Renal Failure. Caring for you, giving you fluids and learning all 
that I could about your disease. I never regretted a minute and I know 
that you felt my love and concern. Then the time came that we had to 
let you go. Not because of CRF, but because of surprising complications 
that stole you from us too soon. Thanks for letting me see the bravery and 
trust in your eyes at the end. That will reassure me forever. I know that you 
are at peace and happy waiting for Mommy and me at the Rainbow Bridge 
where we will be reunited forever.

 

You will live forever in our hearts Callie,

 

Daddy Cy and Mommy Barb
