I love you Bella!

Today we had to send my sweet puppy off to Jesus. I hope he's holding her and loving on her just like I should be doing right now. She wasn't even a year old. Still a baby. She just saw her first snow last month. We never had the chance to teach her to swim. Jude won't get to grow up with her. But one thing I know is true. Even though she was never old enough to learn to swim, or even celebrate a birthday with a little extra food, I know that my family gave her more love than any other family could. We easily could've put her to sleep when we found out she had allergies that made her allergic to just about anything. But we didn't. We loved and loved on her. And this just goes to show you that life is short. Life is painful. Life is hard. Life is the farthest thing there is from fair. But life still has blessings. My year with Bella was a blessing for me. And even in my pain, I have no regrets of meeting her. She was worth my pain right now. This post is for you, Bella-boo. You're always in my heart, and I'll NEVER forget you. <3
