In Memory of our beloved Woody

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again.
No farewell words were
spoken, no time to say good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness,
and secret tears still flow;
What it meant to lose you
no one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times;
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

To my precious Boy Woody I am dedicating my site...

Woody came into my life as a tiny 12 oz baby. Woody was a breather pup and struggled and fought so hard to live. He could not nurse so I fed him by dropper until he was old enough to start on food. He was the joy of my life every day that he made it. The bond became so strong between me and my Woody.

Woody, because of having such a hard time to breathe, also developed some hernias. One became life threatening and Woody had to have surgery. I cried and cried I was so worried he would not make it, but Woody came through the surgery like a champ. Soon the hernia broke through again and the vet said he once again needed to have surgery... we could not wait.

Woody came through that once again like a champ. But the vet said Woody's muscles were paper thin and the stitches were pulling through almost as he stitched them. I then started working on trying to build Woody's muscles up. The vet said when Woody was 6 months old he would put a mesh in to help Woody keep the hernias in... Sadly my precious darling boy did not make it to be 6 months.

Woody brought me such joy each day and was the most precious baby that ever lived in my eyes. However, on Aug. 17, Woody lost his battle when his lungs gave out. My heart stopped that day and my heart and soul went with Woody. The vet said Woody fought a hard battle, but just had too many things against him.

Woody my boy, I miss you so terrible, the tears just will not stop and the ache in my heart is so strong. There is not a hour or day that goes by that you are not on my mind. I wanted to keep you forever and now I can only have you in my heart.

I look forward to the day, Woody, that we will be reunited never to be parted again. Wait for me at Rainbow Bridge my precious boy..


Rainbow Bridge
A Lovely, Reassuring Poem

I thank the Lord for the 4 months that He gave me with my Woody boy.. they were the best 4 months. Knowing you, Woody, and loving you were such happy days...

Rest in peace my Woody, you will always be in my heart and a part of me...

I Only Wanted You

They say memories are golden,
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Rest in peace my precious Woody Boy..
Momma misses you today and always...


My Beloved Woody
