Today marks the 7th year since Sadie passed. I miss her every day. Sadie and I had a special connection. I remember the day Troy bought her for me. She was a little black bundle of joy. A real spitfire. And I loved her dearly. After Troy passed, I didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning but Sadie forced me. She barked until I got up. She kept me going. She was a gift from God. The day I had to put her down I was all alone. I asked a family member to go with me but they said no their friend was coming over. That was one of many subtle hints on what was to come. I hugged her tight as she looked up at me. She was telling me it was time for her to go. I’ll always love you Sadie and be thankful for the 13 years you were in my life.
