LOVE NOTE #206: Always in my Heart

For my childhood four-legged best friend!
Such a lovely necklace.
The opposite side has beautiful floral filigree work as well:)


I've been missing my childhood dog, Broccoli, a lot lately.  She was such a smart and sweet dog.  I think about her every day, even though it has been eight years since she has passed away.  I always wanted to take her with me to college and then when I moved to the East Coast but it wasn't an option.  I know she was happiest at home, she only liked to be home.  But there is a part of me that wishes that I didn't have to grow up and move so far away.

I wish that I had spent more time with her.  I always thought she would live forever, so I took her for granted.  No matter what my mood, she was always there with a smile on her face and with her tail wagging to greet me.  Even if I hadn't visited home in a long time, she was never mad at me and always was so happy and excited to see me each and every time.  She taught me so much about love and patience.  When  she passed, I wasn't there.  It breaks my heart every day that I couldn't say goodbye and be with her during her last moments.  She was always there for me, always caring and selfless.  I know she is safe and happy in Heaven sleeping on her cloud with her beautiful wings...with all the beautiful angels playing with her.  I hope she knows how I miss her every day.  I love you Broccoli.  

I see a lot of Broccoli's mannerisms in Potato.  Sometimes I wonder if she has reincarnated into him just so we can be together again. They act soooo much the same.  I know I sound nuts... and when you lose a pet you loved in a way you never knew you would or could... I guess it makes you think crazy things and believe in the paranormal. 

I carry this locket with me all the time.  Usually I wear it, or it is in my pocketbook.  Broccoli you are remembered every day...always in my heart... I know I will see you again someday...my beautiful four-pawed darling...
