Baci

Baci was, and forever will be, the love of my life. The best thing that ever happened to me. I loved you more than I knew I could love another being and saying goodbye to you gutted me in a way I have never experienced before. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and do my best to honor your memory. And every day I am reminded of the fun we had. You loved everyone you encountered and they loved you right back. You loved every season...winter, spring, summer, fall, and you were the only reason I didn't completely hate winters. You loved to play with your toys, sometimes ripping all the stuffing out, and I was always amazed how a 9-pound puffball could beat me at tug-a-war. You were strong in every sense of the word. You provided non-stop free entertainment and you lived up to your name, giving kisses to anyone who would take them. The way you came into my life was so fun and spontaneous and I know, meant to be. Being your mom is my proudest accomplishment. You taught me so much and I hope I am making YOU proud with the things I am doing in your memory. I know you are waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge and I cannot wait to see you again. Thank you for 16 amazing years. xoxo
