Emily –
My love, my first born, the beautiful soul that made me a momā¦ I wish you the absolute happiest of birthdays.
18, one of those milestone birthdays. I know you probably feel very āadultā right now and in a lot of ways you are and have been for sometime, but I encourage you to hold on to your youth where you can. Have fun, be silly, enjoy being 18. Donāt rush ahead.
Iām so proud of you for all you have become and all that you are. I love you so much.
Love,
Your Mom (and Bailey)

Today you turned 14! Though my head is filled with thoughts, feelings, and emotions I canāt really think of much to write that I havenāt said a million times before.
I still love you just as much. I still think of you nonstop. I still sometimes feel like I canāt breathe when I think of you because the pain is so great.
Today though none of that matters. What matters today is that you turned 14, another whole year older.
I hope you had the very best birthday yet and as you drift off to dream land I hope you feel all the love from those of us who werenāt fortunate enough to see you.
I know you are a big boy/young man now, but in my heart you will always be my baby.
I love you now and forever š§”
Love,
Your Mommy
Easter 2022 was spent having an Easter Egg hunt for the puppies, washing tie dye, and working. It was a pretty good day.
Of course you were all thought of often. I used to try to imagine what you all were doing, how you were celebrating, but Iāve come to realize there is no point to doing so. No way of knowing if Iām right or wrong and the pain is just too great.
What I do now is shift to imagining your happiness, your joy, your loveā¦ I love you five so much more than all the words could ever express. I hope your day was all that you all hoped it would be.
Sending lots of love tonight and always.
Xoxo,
Mommy
Hi Mama –
I just turned 10! What a wonderful day I had. I had a hamburger for a cake that I shared with all the other dogs. I even got a purple chew toy as a gift.
The only thing missing was you. š
Dog lick kisses,

Happy Birthday Lucas!
Today you turned 15 years old. Amazing how time flies and stands still all at the same time.
I hope today brought you smiles, amazing memories, and so much love. Know that Iāve been thinking about you (which is nothing new) and wish you the best year ahead.
I love you my little man.
Love always,
Your Mom
Tonight the words just wonāt come. How many different ways can I say I love and miss you? Iām thinking of you and will never forget you? I hope youāre doing well and finding joy? ā¦ and on and onā¦
So tonight Iāll say I know you know all those things. Here are some pics from this yearās Christmas that I took for you all.
Hi My Baby –
11! Wow! Seems like just yesterday you were born.
You were a silly little guy from day one, my only baby to cry at birth. Iām pretty sure you smiled since the day you were born.
As you grew you always got yourself into trouble but you were so cute about it. You loved to laugh and make others laugh too.
I hope you never stop being the special boy, young man, that you are. I hope you always have inquisitiveness and happy mischievous. Today I hope you had an amazing birthday. Most of all I hope you know just how much I love you (then, now, and always).
Love,
Your mommy
Hey Mom,
Grandma is letting me take over the keyboard today to wish you a Happy Halloween and show off my snazzy costumes.
Hereās one.
I love pup cups so I thought it would be fun to dress as my favorite baristas. They let me come in to take the picture and thought I was soooooo cute.
Do you drink those yummy Frappuccinoās?
Hereās the next one.
The Little Mermaid my favorite Disney Princess. Whatās yours?
What were you for Halloween.
I miss you mom. Hope these pics made you smile.
Love,
Bailey
