All in the Family

Biography: Since I was 5 I always wanted a Border Collie named Axel. I got my dream. When I turned 16. He was the most intelligent, loving and caring animal I have ever met and probably will ever meet. He lived his live to the fullest. He knew who he could trust. He loved the beach and playing fetch. He always swam in the Sea with us, it didnt matter how far out we went. If he got tired I would piggyback him. I can only wish that I could be half the person he was. I always looked at him to see if my friends were trustworthy. He accepted my one boyfriend at the time when he was 4 and I am now happily married to him. He was with us for over 12 years. We had to put him down on the 23 of September. That was the hardest thing for me too do, all of his organs were failing. We received his ashes and when we go down to Cape Town again I will sprinkle them into the sea. He was my life, without him I am so incomplete. I love you my boy, and miss you with all my heart. They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true I never wanted memories I only wanted you A million times I needed you A million times I cried If love alone could have saved you You never would have died. If tears could build a stairway And heartache made a lane.. I would walk the path to heaven And bring you back again Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same.. But as God calls us one by one Our chain will link again Unknown
