I had a beautiful dog named Adam. I remember when the breeder brought him over and she put him on the floor and he couldn’t stand up and run, but he tried! His birthday is coming up on 5/15. Every time I think about him I begin to tear up, like I am right now. He passed in 2011 and it still feels raw, like it was last week. He is my angel, and I could not have another pet after him, he’s a Maltese with so much spunk and personality and really, one of a few beings that I can say I truly love(d). I named him Adam as he was as cute as an Adams apple! The apple of my eye, the apple of my heart, the apple product I write this message tonight, Adam buddy, daddy loves you sooo much, It hurts, the only reason I will be happy the day comes that it’s my time to pass, is because I’ll finally be with you again, for eternity! So hang in there.. I’m here and you’re in my heart and around my neck are your tags, every day I’m reminded of you. No chance I will ever forget you! I love you ALWAYS Adam..
