Although the pain I feel, at losing you, is devastating, I wouldn't avoid a moment of this pain if it meant not having you in my life. This broken heart is surely a small but extremely painful price to pain for all the joy and love you've given me.

You were always there waiting, patient and forgiving.

You knew all my secrets and prayers. You were my best buddy, my companion, my counselor, my baby boy. You filled my lonely moments, you protected me, you taught me.

You carried me back to my youth on trails I rode as a child. You carried me to serenity through beautiful forests and meadows. You carried me through days of sadness and worry. You made me laugh with your silly antics like sniffing my pockets for treats, and gentle nuzzles which I called kisses.

We did so much together, you and I. You were not only a huge part of my life but also a part of who I am.

Please forgive me for mistakes I made, for times I didn't understand what you were trying to tell me, for times I was absent too long.
 
You were so courageous, noble and stoic. Even in your passing you are teaching me.
 
You are buried in my heart.
 
Love always,
Mom
