that made me laugh, Jake used to do that, and wedge his head between yours knees and stare so intensely at you trying to brainwash you into giving him some.
Xmas without him is so boring

What a great face! it makes me happy just to look at him and to see his smile.

I'm sorry he had to go.

i'm glad you are able to laugh more now as of course, he would have wanted...

Thankyou everyone.

Our daughter had a lovely "Memory Board" of our beloved Charley made for us for Christmas.

It made me cry, the good kind, as I was surrounded by my boy again.

Oh how I miss him!!

wow! Charley was gorgeous - I'm so sorry for your loss

Oh Zippy

I am another that does not visit this area of the board often, I cannot bear to ever think of dealing with my emotions when that time comes for us.

Charley is absolutely darling, and what a kind and loving gift your daughter gave to you.

I am sure he is running and playing with all the other little darlings at the Rainbow Bridge, have peace in knowing he sure lived a good life.

My 21st was just after Jake passed away and my sister did a similar thing, its nice to be able to look at them again. He was a handsome boy

Thanks Soma...... I was very surprized, it's a lovely collage of his photos.

It's one of the loveliest (?) presents ever! ;D

So sorry about Jake, it's hard, eh??

Zippy, I'm sorry I didn't post sooner, I actually thought I had, because I'd looked at this thread before. I'm so sorry for your loss. Charley was handsome. I love the memory board. What thoughtful children.

Zippy I'm so sorry for your heartache! Charley was a beautiful boy

and I'm so glad you had him for such a long time.
I too have come on to this thread many times but couldn't post because each time I tried to write I just ended up

.
It's so very hard when they go and you feel such an ache in your heart......you don't think it will ever subside, but one day you find yourself laughing at something that they did, usually something naughty

and it feels so much better than crying.....
