April 12, 2008 was one of the saddest days of my life. I had to put to sleep my best friend, my daughter, my baby girl, Tawny. I got her from the pound and we spent 20 wonderful years together. I miss her terribly.
I no longer cry every night but I do think of her every day. Sometimes when I am thinking of her my heart aches and I can't help but cry. The other night I was doing just that, crying and praying. I told God that I just wanted to kiss her and pet her again - I miss her so much. Last night He answered my prayers. I was dreaming an off the wall dream and all of the sudden I was sitting on my bed petting Tawny. It only lasted a minute before I returned to my dream, but what a wonderful minute. It was one of those dreams that was so real I could actually feel her fur. It was a moment where God said, I know you're hurting for her, let Me help you.
Last night my prayers were answered and I got to be with my baby girl and pet her one more time.
