If I said losing you didn't hurt, i'd be lying. Although I am sad. I am also happy that you are no longer in pain. You suffered for so long and you deserve to rest. Losing you hit me like a ton of bricks. It came on so fast and the pain lingers. I knew it was coming, but nothing could have prepared me for this. Nothing could have prepared me for the thought of how he must feel. For he was even closer to you than I. It was impossible not to love you. Everyone did. One of the last times I saw you healthy was during July. We made the 2 hour trip in an unconditioned van. I remember sitting outside, you were dancing to a country song, happier than you had been for weeks. Everyone was exchanging stories, having a good time. At the funeral a lady told us of how she was affected by you, her mother was also staying in the home you were. You would often greet them outside with a smile. You were always smiling. You would play with their 2 year old son, you quickly became a favourite of his. I remember every time I used to visit you, you would sneak me a werthers while no one was looking. I loved your abundance of dogs you had. I loved how Max would always greet us as soon as we showed up. I loved how you always were willing to help out anyone you could. I loved how you put your family before everything. Although you never had much material things, you were rich with love. I will miss you greatly. Rest well.
