You were a bright light for me, You were my shining star now the light has gone out. We both fought so hard for you to stay a little longer YOU were my strength and my brave little soldier and now the strength has gone from me. I miss you so much Baby Girl I just want to hold you in my arms and kiss that tiny face, Any time I ask you to give Mommie a kiss you always did. My heart is so empty now that you are gone a bond so strong has to cross paths more than once. We were together over 17 years and you always made our home happy and full. Now it too is empty and sad. You were the sweetest, most loving little baby you loved me with all of your heart and knew I loved you just the same. It was so hard to let you go we both fought so hard and you did get better I felt you get stronger everyday and you were doing great everything was going good I wish I knew why you got so sick on that early wednesday morning. The only comfort I have is that my prayer was answered for to pass in my arms while I held you close to my heart I know that little tear was for Mommie. MEMORIES OF MY BABY GIRL My whole family loved her when My Daddy use to baby sit her I would sometimes give her a big bone that she couldn't eat she could only chew on it and when she had a bone she really showed off she'd warn you if you got to close to her property. Daddy once told me to leave her bone at home because she was to mean when she had it with her but it was all bluff. She was so smart she knew the meaning of a lot of words whenever we had company friends or family and they were getting ready to leave and she heard them say so, that became her fun time she ALWAYS ran them off "she thought so anyway" she was tiny but you couldn't hold her back from running at the door barking, scratching her back feet into the floor I always told her she looked like a tiny bull. My Mama use to baby sit Pookie for me when I worked in town. At that time Pookie was about 2 or 3 years old my Mama owned a boarding house and when a tenant knocked at the door to pay rent Pookie would act like she was going to eat them alive Mama had to pick her up and Mama would tell Pookie you can't run my tenants off they want to pay their rent. She was all mouth though she only wanted people to think see was mean. She was a little Angel sent to me to make my life complete 5-20-09 AS ALWAYS I AM THINKING OF YOU 5-13-09 POOKIE TODAY JUNEBUG HAS GONE TO YOU PLEASE FIND HER AND YOU TWO WAIT FOR ME. 9-24-08 MOMMIE HAS ADDED A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF YOUR MANY FLOWERS I MISS YOU POOKIE POSTON VERY VERY MUCH AS LONG AS I AM WORKING WITH YOUR PLANTS AND FLOWERS I FEEL I AM STILL DOING SOMETHING FOR YOU. 7-2-08 I have been looking through my photo albums it seems so long ago when I look at the pictures some I had even forgot about I remember how you always gave THAT LOOK when I pointed a camera at you.
