Love Note From Cheyenne

Dear Mom,

I got to the gate of Heaven yesterday,
After we said good bye.
I began to miss you terribly,
Because I heard you cry.
Suddenly there was an Angel,
And she asked me to enter Heavens gate.
I asked her if I could stay outside and wait,
For someone who'd be late.
I wouldn't make much noise you see,
I wouldn't bark or howl.
I'd only wait here patiently,
And play with my tennis ball.
The Angel said I could stay right here
And wait for you to come
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven,
If I went in alone.
So I'll wait here, you take your time,
But keep me in your heart.
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven,
Without you to warm my heart.

Love, Cheyenne


In Loving Memory of My Girl, My Cheyenne
February 14, 2000 - February 17, 2011

11 short years, not nearly long enough, my girl! I'm so glad you had a happy birthday, playing, lively, loving, your normal "puppy" self. I'm so glad your illness was so short, so quickly over ... Tuesday you fell ill, Wednesday the trip to the vet, Thursday morning the devastating results from your tests, Thursday evening you were gone. I know you did it for me, like you did everything else your whole life. Today you & I need to make that last drive to the vet and this time I have to leave you there. But I know it's only the outside I'm leaving, your heart is stll at home where you were happiest.

You've left a huge hole in my heart, Cheyenne, where I'll tuck away all the memories & a mental picture of you, happy, healthy, playing once again with my other friends who left before you. But oh, I miss you so much already, the house feels so empty & so do I. Even Meiko wandered the house all night, looking for you.

Thank you for the wonderful years we did have together, your unconditional love always, through good times & bad. You always knew what I needed & were always there for me. I will go on, I'll love again like I know you would have wanted, but no one will ever fill this void you've left.

Thank you, my heart dog. I'll love you forever.
Mom

Reading this through tears has touched my heart deeply. Sandy that is a beautiful poem and a very lovely tribute. The two of you had a wonderful bond that will remain throughout the eternities. Cheyenne was and still is a beautiful and sweet girl that brought you through the toughest of time. I send my most heartfelt condolences to you during this difficult time of sadness and healing. If I could, I would fly up there just to give you a hug.

[RubyJeansMom]

Sandy, I am just heartbroken, I wish I were there to give you a hug.
Cheyenne was such a special girl, and even though we never met, she will be missed greatly.
And what a wonderful love note to Mom...I am crying now, so I have to go, but you are in my thoughts.

[Stewie'sSlave]

I'm so sorry that tribute just brought me to tears. Its so sad that another DP leaves us, but she'll always be in our hearts, and especially yours.

Hugs!

[Phyrie]

I'm very sorry for your loss, Sandy. I just don't know what else to say. I, too, am crying.

[princelover]

Sandy, I am so very sorry for your loss. 11 years is never long enough and I know you are devastated. That was a beautiful poem and tribute to Cheyenne and she will live on in the hearts and memories of all of us. Big hugs being sent your way, sweetheart.

[snifferspommom]

Oh my heart is breaking for you, Sandy. Your words brought tears to my eyes. You have a new angel watching over you now. Hugs to you and your family. ♥

[Sadie G]

Beautifully written tribute to a beautiful girl. That really touched me it was so well said. I think we can all feel not only your pain, but the wonderful love you and Cheyenne shared. You know you have a support group here. Feel free to help fill that void with those memories through us if you want.

I too would be there in a heartbeat if it were at all possible. Lots of ♥ and hugs to you my friend.

Sandy, I really have no words. I can know the emptiness in your heart and I hope you know you are not alone. You have written a beautiful tribute. I am so very sorry. (HUGS)

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

Sandy, through the tears, I am struggling to find the right words to say, and there simply are none. What a beautiful poem and a wonderful tribute to sweet Cheyenne.

I know that she has been your rock, your best friend, and your heart for 11 wonderful years. Please know that you have my deepest sympathies at this very difficult time. I too wish I could wrap my arms around you and hold you close and give you a huge hug.

As Kris said, you are not alone. We are all here for you if, and when, you feel like talking. My heart is breaking for you, and I will pray that you find peace and comfort in the coming days and months. xo

[Margie-Rex's Mom]

Sandy, I've been struggling to think of what to say...your tribute to Cheyenne is so beautiful. Just like her...and you.

I hope you can feel the giant virtual hug all of us are sending to you.

Run free, sweet Cheyenne.

[Madi P]

Oh Sandy, I am so very sorry to hear about your precious Cheyenne. What a beautiful poem and tribute to her and her memory, it did bring tears to my eyes. 11 years seems so short, I cannot imagine what you are going thorough but know that you are in my thoughts tonight and hope to be here to provide any small words of encouragement you may need over the next days and months.

Cheyenne was a beautiful girl and lead a happy, full life with you. My heart goes out to you.

[Sandy, Cheyenne's mom2]

I thank God for all of you, my friends. Your words of comfort, your tears, your love & hugs mean so much right now. It means the world to be in a community of people who understand, who have also been there & know ...

Please give all your fur kids an extra hug from Cheyenne & me today. Meiko is helping as much as she can, but her purrs aren't quite the same ... she was Cheyenne's cat, as much as I was Cheyenne's person & we're both still looking for Cheyenne in her favorite spots ...

I will talk with you all again soon
Love, Sandy

[daschoundsrule]

Sandy, I too don't have words to say that have not already been said. You have all of our support here. Lot's of hugs to you.
