TruHeart Goldens: Feeling Sentimental

Zap has been part of our lives for a little over two weeks now. The days are speeding by faster than I want, but at the same time I anticipated this feeling. It's hard to imagine that over 2 months have gone by since my dad passed away. He is the reason we ended up with Zappy pup. I don't know why things happened as they did; however, I'm sure I'm not the first to feel this way. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him. Zap (SunKissed Electric Blue) is named after dad's favorite electric blue car that he proudly drove to town to run errands. Ever the environmentalist he worked hard at conserving energy any way he could.

We thought of you today and that was nothing new;
We thought of you yesterday and we will tomorrow too.
We think of you in silence and make no outward show,
For what it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
It's lonely here without you we miss you more each day.
Life is not the same for us since you were called away.
Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say;
"Don't cry, we'll be together again someday."
