Erin was truly a magnificent, one of a kind, companion.

It's my pleasure to share these stories with everyone, thanks so much for reading :)<br /><br />@LeeAnn Thanks for a wondeful comment :) I certainly feel we were destined to enter each others life's. We both gave all we could to the relationship until the very end and it's hard to ask for anything more. Yeah I often feel she was heaven sent and God wanted herback at his side or she had another lost soul to rescue. There's no doubt our bond wil never be broken, I sense her near me and I speak out to her to comfort myself and t0 let her know I've survived another day without her. Thanks so much for visiting and being my friend :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410839514624429792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-17639698545882951302011-08-22T01:40:00.581-04:002011-08-22T01:40:00.581-04:00David this is such a powerful and beautiful post. ...David this is such a powerful and beautiful post. In the beginning when you talked of Erin coming into your life I had a sense she taught you how to Live and Love. Yes, you were a team...however, I felt there was something missing in your life...and this little angel came along and taught you what you needed to learn..how to trust and live your life to the fullest...she was the only one who could teach you that. What a rare gift she gave..and in return she reaped the rewards of the gift you gave to her. <br /><br />You were inseperable to the end...and yes, you were there to lead her to the next part of her journey...together, side by side. You were right..she tried to please you and be there for you..even when she knew she was moving on without you...for awhile you will be apart..but in Spirit, it is a blink of an eye and you will see her again. She will always watch over you..the bond of love never leaves...I believe, the most powerful act we perform as a human being is to assist the ones we love to leave this world...knowing they were loved. You and Erin did that. This is a powerful tribute to Erin and the legacy of her Love for you! She continues to touch Souls...I know she has touched mine. Beautiful Angel...you are Loved...Always...Ravenmythhttp://ravenmyth.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-18090344911902634462011-08-21T19:56:56.767-04:002011-08-21T19:56:56.767-04:00I love this picture of you and sweet thing.

I've been visiting your blog for sometime and have joined you and Erin on your adventures through Germany and inside children's libraries and on stage. I have enjoyed reading the tenderness and attentive care, love and compassion you provided her and the love and presence she blessed so many with. Erin will last forever, because the beautiful memories you two shared will always be kept alive by the talented words you craftily write them with, touching hearts everywhere with the memories and life you both shared with one another.<br /><br />::hugs::Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-33160390008710233922011-08-17T17:31:50.451-04:002011-08-17T17:31:50.451-04:00I just read your tribute and the tears are still f...I just read your tribute and the tears are still flowing . . .<br /><br />May you be reunited one day with your beloved Erin in God's perfect Heaven.<br /><br />God bless you, David!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-86693125599087817402011-08-17T14:59:48.388-04:002011-08-17T14:59:48.388-04:00I'll be honest with you this is a very hard bl...I'll be honest with you this is a very hard blog for me to read.

I knew it was right, he had been sick for a year, and the look he gave me with his tail between his legs before the last vet's trip spoke volumes. He was my best friend, my protector and we had something that nothing else has or will ever match. I now have three dogs and a cat, and they are my second set of children (I have grown children and grandchildren), but the memories and the love will love on forever.
