Letter to Tyler 1 year

Dear Tyler Joe,

It’s been a year since you left me my sweet boy and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and what you meant to me. I miss you dearly, mostly at night when we would be settling into our spots, me with my pillow and you snuggled behind my knees. A couple of times just after you left, Kiera would snuggle into your spot and it would nearly make me weep. She stopped after a while and sleeps in her own spot, usually sharing my pillow and snoring into my ear. I know you will laugh at that one.

Taggart has been a dream come true, he does remind me of you. He has those extra long legs like you did and loves me like you did. But I know it’s not you, I love him for him, and he is awfully sweet. He is also very young and reminds me of an over grown puppy. I do think you would have liked him and I thank you for sending him to me, I did see your fine hand in his becoming available at just the moment that he did.

Grammie had a stroke this year and it’s been a real struggle for me to handle the additional work that I have to deal with, but we will make it through. The hardest part of her stroke is that I find myself on a fence rail balancing being a daughter and a parent, it is a very tricky place to be. Even with the difficulties, I would rather have her with me than someplace else. She tells me that she misses you too, but Tagg has made him self her personal love slave so she is well attended to by him and the girls. Kiera and Daisy seem to like Taggart just fine, he does dote on them a bit too, so it should come as no surprise. He pays special attention to their ears and cleans them each day. They on the other hand do not reciprocate the ear cleaning job, and that is no surprise either, right?

Dad has become a little more harsh with Kiera, Daisy and Taggart, I think he misses you more than he wants to admit. I think he is afraid to admit how much he loved you and how much he misses you and it’s his way of keeping them at arms length. I think that Taggart and the girls will break him down, but it will take some time.

So you see my boy, it has been an eventful year, with lots of ups and many downs. I miss you and wish you were here still. So if you have a moment, come visit in again in a dream, I will fill you in on all the changes and you can tell me what you’ve been up to.

I miss you sweet boy

Your loving momma

Hi,

What a wonderful and touching letter to Tyler Joe. Once they've touched your heart the memories last a lifetime and the pain eases somewhat at each passing year. Yet, everyone once in a while we find ourselves getting teary eyed at a vivid memory or expect them to come racing into the kitchen for their kibbles and then we remember they have left us.

I know Tyler would be smiling down from the Rainbow Bridge and would probably want to tell the ones still in your home..pss these people provided the best home and gave me so much love.

The letter was a wonderful tribute to Tyler.

Marianne and the boys
That was just lovely!
Beautifully said.....
I am sure Tyler is watching over you and family.
Leslie,

Your letter made me tear up, I know how much you miss your boy and I can't believe it's already been a year since he passed. He was such a sweet and beautiful boy, and you were lucky to have him in your life.

It was really nice to hear from you and I'm so glad Taggart and the girls are doing well. Have a great holiday, I hope we can hear from you more often!

Heather and Walter
I am sitting here all choked up over your beautiful letter. Not only because it is so moving but because I too have felt the same pain as we are approaching the 1 year mark of our loss in January. There is nothing like the joy of being loved by a sheepie. May your memories brighten and your sorrow lessen. Take care.
Leslie, what a beautiful letter to Tyler Joe. It's very hard typing this as I sit here crying. I'm so glad you have Taggart to keep Kiera and Daisy company, and to help you keep watch over you mother.

The hurt does lessen, but it takes a LONG time. I lost my first boy, Buford, in 1994, and to this day I can still cry when I think of him. Isn't is amazing how much of an imprint they leave on our hearts?

Take care, and try to visit us more often!!
:cry:
Beautiful letter to a wonderful boy :cry:
Tyler will always be your guardian angel.

Sniff Sniff a beautiful letter to a very special boy.
:cry: :cry: Lovely letter, Leslie. What beautiful way to remember your boy.
A really touching letter im writibg this through tears. They do leave an impact on your life. Im also coming up to the one yr mark with my girl she wasent an oes but she was special to me all the same.
Leslie, my thoughts are with you.
It has only been three month since I lost Dallas, so I know just
how you feel. Dallas and I had a special spot on the porch swing and I still won't let anybody sit there.
The other night, in my dream, Dallas and I were going for a walk.
I can feel your pain.
Loved the letter to your special boy.

Leslie, I am trying to see through the tears to type you a note and let you know how wonderful your letter is. We just lost our sweet Bill six weeks ago and pain is still very fresh. Thank you for sharing your wonderful letter I really appreciate it.

Martha
