Still missing you
Oh Gunnar, your engraved rock arrived yesterday. We went out to the courtyard, lit a candle and each of us held the stone a moment to say something to you. Your girl was quiet as she held the stone, tears flowing down her face. Your boy took the stone away to a quiet corner and had his own moment with you. Your baby girl just kept saying she missed you so much. Then we placed it by your favorite mesquite tree and lit a candle. There isn't a moment that goes by that we're not reminded of you somehow.
We were out in the courtyard all weekend wishing you were there to chase your ball and protect us from the birds as we gardened. You were always so brave my little warrior. You are missed so deeply it's difficult to explain because we knew you only briefly. The love we shared was so intense I suppose it makes up for the lack of time in some strange way.
Please keep watch over your "kids". They miss you so much and had such big plans for you, and now you're not there to share them. But we know you're in a better place, doing baby boxer burns and chasing butterflies with all the puppies at the the bridge.
