Before there was you, I was overwhelmed. Treading water in a fast paced world where people seem to think only of themselves.
Before there was you, I had no direction. I was wandering aimlessly through life, not knowing which path I should take.
Before there was you, I was lonely. The kids were gone and I needed someone to love and nurture.
Before there was you, I was a person who thought, “It’s just a dog.”
Before there was you, I wasn’t me.
Nine years ago the wonder that is you was born. Little did I know when I said, “I want a dog,” how my life would change.
You’ve given and taught me so much and re-awakened a portion of my soul I’d forgotten I had. Thank you seems so inadequate. But today as we celebrate the wonder that is you, I will try. I will try with all my heart to show you that you are special and loved, the way you’ve shown me these last nine years.
Happy birthday my sweet, beautiful boy. I love you to the moon and back.
