Tribute to a Departed Friend

Echo was my first Cavalier and is the reason I got into breeding Cavaliers and advocating for their health. She was diagnosed with Syringomyelia from a young age, and was involved in many research studies. I will forever miss her all the lessons she taught me in life, and I will forever be grateful for her presence in my life and getting me involved in this wonderful breed. Thank you my dear friend❤️

 

 

“Listening to you take your last breath as I held you in my arms is something I knew would happen, but I still was not prepared for since we brought you home so many years ago. Sometimes a special loved one comes into our lives, stay for a bit and then they have to go. It is sad, but the bit they were here was happy and wonderful, and maybe that makes it all worth it. If I could do something to make you stay with me forever, I would. The final act of love to give you is a peaceful goodbye in my arms. To find the rainbow bridge where I will see you again someday. 

 

They say that someone is never truly gone until you stop remembering them. When you left this earth, a great part of you went missing, but I know you left some of yourself behind for me to find. In the summer I will see you in the pale yellow butterflies adorning our hayfields you so eagerly chased. In the fall I will see you dancing in the flames of the bonfires you loved to sit with me to enjoy. In the winter I will see you in the electric blanket you always curled up with me on. In the spring I will see you in the delicate flower shoots you so eagerly chomped on. I hope if the multiverse is real, every version of me is lucky enough to be loved by you. 

 

To my dear friend who has been with me for over half of my life, I cannot wait to see you on that rainbow bridge. Wait for me and I'll meet you there soon my sweet Echo Louise 

 

The strongest fighter with a heart of gold this world has ever seen
