Daddy, came home and said, "We have someone to go pick up". So we drove almost 2 hours and when I seen you stumble down the steps, I knew you were our baby. We were told to keep you in a cage at night well that didn't last long. We could not take the little pig squelling noise you made. So from there on you slept in our bed between Daddy's legs. We bought you your first plush toy and instead of playing with it, you sucked on it. You always had several animals laying around that was your "sucky toys". 

You had a bad heart murmur and was only expected to live maybe 2 years. But six and a half years later you were still doing good. So it was hard for us to lose you the way we did because it wasn't expected. I wish I would have been home earlier and maybe you would have been inside with me playing and not out near the road. 

The only thing that makes me feel better is know you didn't suffer and maybe you would have, dying of the murmur. Me, Daddy and Brendan never wanted that and it would have been hard for us to make the decision to let you go. Or to know when the right time would have been. 

T-bone it's only been a few hours since you passed. This is all I could think to do. We are so very sad and don't know what to do. I hope it gets easier. Please know that you were always a part of our family and you will always be missed. Our little boy, you will always be with us.

Until we meet again...
