I Will See You Again

  Thirteen years just didn't seem long enough, I feel cheated and that you were taken from me too soon. But part of me knows you aren't really gone, just your body while your spirit is still by my side.... ready for another one of our adventures.
  How great they all were, every one of them and I just lose count trying to think about it. You went everywhere with me, did so much with me and I was able to live a life I could never live through you. Watching you race through the woods, splashing in the water and chasing whatever animal you could get close enough, you were so free and so happy. 
  That intense gaze of your's will forever burn in my soul, every time you would look at me, you knew what I really wanted even when I denied it and you wouldn't leave me alone until I gave in. You knew how badly I wanted to go out in the woods, out for an aimless drive in the countryside just to see where we'd end up, you knew it and wanted it just as much.
   After a few years and so many months of praying for a dog like you, a dog that wouldn't quit, that was willing to run forever.. God blessed me with you, he answered my prayers and in a way gave me my twin in a canine form. My better, wild half is, was and will always be you. 
   I remember that day, that very first day our eyes met. My brother was riding down a porch on his bike, as I stood on the road in my roller blades watching him, I felt a pair eyes just watching me and so I searched and there you were. Sitting in a driveway just watching me so intently, so content you had found your kindred spirit and you weren't going anywhere. It was history from that point on, history that would not have been made without you.
   God gave me you, gave me an angel to keep watch over me when times became too dark for me to see, there were so many moments I was ready to give up but you were always there by my side reminding that there is much more in life than what's in front of me and you were right. Thanks to you, saving my life so many times in ways some just can't understand, I have been blessed with another angel in my life. 
   I knew your time here was crucial, and I knew you wouldn't leave me until you knew in your heart that I could survive through your death, I knew it years ago and I could see it in your eyes when he was born. It was only a matter of time before I would have to say goodbye to you, before you were sure that I would be okay. I can't begin to thank you enough, I can't begin to tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me but I hope that you knew this all along. Molly you were truly something special, a guardian angel that stories are written about, you touched so many hearts and you memories will remain with us. 
  I will not say goodbye, but I wish you well and I hope you are in a place where the woods are endless, the fields are full of animals to chase and you will never feel tired again. Molly I will see you again, in eternity.
