Golden Girl.

I was in a pretty dark place when Georgie came along. In more ways than one, she essentially saved me.

We grew separately and together.

I have a very vocal schnoodle, Ringo, and Georgie is a very silent, but hyper dog. I found comfort in her silence as I was battling my own.

We enjoy the same things – food and the outdoors.

You can usually find her in the grass, staring at the sky, or a tree swaying in the breeze, or a bird or a squirrel – just taking it all in.

Although, I’ve taught her a lot of things – to high five, to hug, to sit, to crawl, to jump, to look my way, to roll, she’s the one who taught me the greatest lessons of all:

1. You’re never too old to play.
2. Stop, look around, take it all in.
3. Love Saves.
4. We truly do get by with a little help from our friends.
5. Laughter heals.

I love you with my whole heart for my whole life, Georgie Girl.

Mama.

I searched and searched and searched for a friendship that would top them all. Someone to love me through my shortcomings, cheer me on during my accomplishments, and make me face the growth that I so desperately tried to avoid.

You were always there.

To hear about a friendship that ended. Or the butterflies that came with the start of a new one.

You never faltered. Your presence always one of the greatest influences in any move I made in my life.

It took me a long time to realize that you are my greatest friend.

I am lucky, honored, and humbled to share this life with you.

I have found you in every life before this one, and I will find you in every life after this one.
