Groovy Memories - page 1
Bittersweet
The road to LSU to take Groovy for his necropsy was so bittersweet. I remember all of those times we made that trip together, and now we were making it together for the last time. He loved hitting campus and stopping at the lake, or to pee on the trees. Some of our trips were for surgeries, chemo, or radiation, but then just as many were fun filled worry free rechecks where nothing but happy things happened. All of these trips added lots of extra quality time to Groovy's world.
I Loved You Best
So this is where we part, My friend,
and you'll run on around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find my strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impractical, or so I thought
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I Loved You Best.
By Jim Willis
My Precious Groovy,
My son, my brave big man, my partner, my everything. What can I say that I haven't already told you? You've always had an unbelievably strong spirit through some ruff times. You always saw the dreamy side of things instead of the sucky side. How did you do that? Where did that come from? You are amazing. You have decorated my life with so many beautiful memories, and I will always be grateful for all of the good vibrations that you instilled in me. Your life was never without flavor and to say the least, you lived it to the hilt. Thank you for all of the romping and splashing and chasing and snuggling and pure love that always constantly overflowed from you. I relive our journey in my mind constantly, and I so enjoy all of the photos that cause so many memories to come rushing back to me and the one common thread in all of them is your unbreakable spirit. Your heart is so beautiful, you have changed my life in so many ways I cannot even begin to describe. Even though you've handled your life so wonderfully and had the best attitude, the only regret that I have for you is that you ever had to go through so many trials and tribulations in the first place. My wonderful son, you faced so many obstacles that you did not deserve, but somehow you scaled each and every wall so beautifully. When we laid there together for what turned out to be the last 24 hours of your life, when I realized what was going to happen, I felt that we were in sync, that we made the decision together. If I waited a few hours too long I hope you will forgive me for being selfish and thinking to myself - too many times - what I would do if I went home without you. I always suspected that in the end I would be strong, and that my number one thing would be that you would not suffer for a moment. But then when that moment finally came...I waivered, I kept wondering if that's really what you would want. I knew it was, but it was so hard to accept. I remember when we first met and I was walking you and you pulled so hard and ran so fast that I would fall down, and I didn't even care that I looked like an idiot because I was so in love with you. You made my life so fun, and no matter what happened when we were together, you always made it sweeter. Thank you for teaching me what love really is. Thank you for the best years of my life. Your kisses were always the best.
But then you knew that.
I can't wait until we're together again,
Mama

At 10 weeks old!
July 1998. Here's the sleeping baby. Only 10 weeks old and those bruises on my legs are Groovy's favorite place to do his teething.
