Wouter, I was blessed the day I adopted you,

what a special and loving heart you had,

you were my shadow, and now you are gone,

i look for your face wherever i go, 

but then i hear my heart breaking just a little bit more 

when i do not see your loving face, 

i know you, my sweet loving friend, my Wouter, you are gone... 

why i will never understand, 

your death has me in tears every day, 

so sudden, so painful, i miss you so much, 

you were my child, my friend, you made my heart smile, 

you completed my life in a way only you could... 

your bowl is empty, your bed is cold, a flower on your grave, 

and tears are all i can hold, because you are gone...

never shall i be able to tell you i love you again...

never shall i be able to kiss your sweet face...

no more long walks in the afternoon…

or playing fetch with your ball…

always my lap will be empty...

forever my eyes will search for your face...

hope is what i pray for, that one day i will see you in heaven...

sadness, so much sadness,

so many unspoken words,

so many ungiven hugs,

your voice

your eyes

your wagging tail

Wouter, Wouter Wouter… I love you with all my heart !!
