My sweet Ernie,
How can it be that a year has past since I said goodbye to you? Sometimes it seems like just yesterday…other times it seems like forever…since I last held you and told you how much I love you.
You are always in my thoughts…and forever in my heart. I miss you…I will never stop missing you. And I will always love you.
~One of my favorite photos of Ernie…taken in 2009~
When you went over the Rainbow Bridge
My heart was broke in two
But you didn’t go there on your own
You took a piece of me with you
I think about you all the time
I often say your name
You left your pawprint on my heart
Life hasn’t been the same
I know you’re never far away
I can feel you close to me
As I close my eyes and think awhile
It’s your face I long to see
I thank you for the memories
And all the special years we shared
I hope I made life happy for you
And you know how much I cared
