TRIBUTE TO MY ROCCO, AKA THE KING AND LOVER

LOVE IS LOOKING INTO THOSE BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES AT THE SHELTER FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
LOVE IS BRINGING YOU HOME AND PROVIDING YOU A SAFE, WARM, AND NURTURING PLACE TO LIVE
LOVE IS WATCHING AS YOU BECAME THE KING RULING OVER YOUR SISTERS SUKI AND NEKKO
LOVE IS ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR YOU, DURING THE UP’S AND DOWN’S
LOVE IS WATCHING YOU GROW UP TO BE A BIG STRONG HANDSOME BOY, AND BEING SO VERY PROUD
LOVE IS SEEING YOU GREET US, PEERING AROUND THE STAIRS AS WE ARRIVE HOME
LOVE IS UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU ATE THE HOUSEPLANTS AND CHRISTMAS TREE
LOVE IS BEING PATIENT AND CARING WHEN YOU DIDN’T FEEL GOOD
LOVE IS WATCHING YOU GROW OLDER
LOVE IS TRYING SO HARD TO FIND A CURE WHEN YOU WERE SICK
LOVE IS PROVIDING COMFORT CARE DURING YOUR FINAL DAYS
LOVE IS LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES AND KNOWING THAT IT WAS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
LOVE IS LETTING GO
LOVE IS WHEN MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH THAT SOME DAYS I CAN’T BARE IT
LOVE IS HAVING MY HUSBAND THERE TO COMFORT ME AND TELL ME “IT WILL BE OK.”
LOVE IS MY TWO DOGS, BELLA AND COOPER WHO HAVE BEEN BY MY SIDE TO COMFORT ME.
LOVE IS THE WARM RIVER OF TEARS I CRY EVERY DAY
LOVE IS THE VOID I FEEL IN MY LIFE
LOVE IS MY ROCCO, HIS LOVE AND THE BOND BOTH DAD AND I SHARED WITH HIM IS IRREPLACEABLE.

IF YOU HAVE A PET, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GIVE THEM EXTRA KISSES AND HUGS TODAY, IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PET, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO OUT AND GET ONE, THEY ENRICH OUR LIVES SO VERY MUCH, AND WHILE IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO LET THEM GO, THE SHORT TIME THEY ARE WITH US IS WORTH IT.
TO MY SPECIAL BOY, MAY YOU NOW REST EASY OVER THAT RAINBOW BRIDGE, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN SOME DAY, KEEP HUNTING SPIDERS, RUN FREE WITH NO PAIN ANY LONGER.
LOVE YOUR FUR MOM AND DAD.
