Bubby

2013 - 2025

BUBBY (BUBBS, BUMPA, PIE, POT PIE, TOAD, LOVE BUG… HE ANSWERED TO MANY NICKNAMES) WAS THE MOST PERFECT AND SWEET ANGEL. HE LOVED TO RIDE IN MY (HIS MOMMY’S) BACKPACK AND GO ON HIKES AND ADVENTURES, HE TRAVELED (AND LIVED) ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH ME, AND BRAVED HIS YARD IN COLORADO EVEN THOUGH THE BUNNIES THAT WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE SCARED HIM, MID-PEE PEE. HE WAS NEEDY FOR LOVE AND WOULD LET YOU KNOW. IF YOU DIDN’T HOLD AND PET HIM HOW HE WANTED AT THAT MOMENT, HE’D LAY ON OR UNDER YOU TO FORCE YOUR HAND ON HIM UNTIL YOU DID! HE COULD FEEL YOUR PAIN BEFORE YOU SHOWED IT AND HE WOULD COME RUNNING TO COMFORT AND KISS, IMMEDIATELY. HE WAS MY BABY AND I WENT THROUGH THE HARDEST TIMES OF MY LIFE AND MADE IT THROUGH ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS THERE. THE HOLE HE IS LEAVING IS TOO PAINFUL AND TOO LARGE TO EXPLAIN TO ANYONE. HIS PRECIOUS EXISTENCE WAS SENT FROM HEAVEN.

THEY SAY SOMEONE’S LOVE IS LIKE THE STARS OR THE SUN TO YOUR LIFE… BUT BUBBS WAS MY MOON. HE STAYED AND LOVED ME THROUGH ALL OF THE DARKNESS.

THANK YOU FOR THE HARDEST GOODBYE I’VE EVER HAD TO SAY, FOR THE HOLE IN MINE AND OTHERS’S HEARTS, FOR THE BIGGEST LOVE NO ONE WILL EVER AGAIN BE ABLE GIVE. THE PAIN AND VOID BUBBY LEAVES BEHIND HURTS, BUT CAN ONLY MAKE YOU THANKFUL FOR HAVING KNOWN AND LOVED HIM, FOR HAVING KNOWN HOW PRECIOUS AND LOVING HE WAS. I’LL NEVER STOP MISSING WATCHING HIM SPIN CIRCLES SO FAST HE FALLS DOWN AS SOON AS WE WAKE UP OR WHEN HE’S EXCITED, LOOKING AT HIS LITTLE TONGUE HANGING OUT, SMELLING HIS STINKY BREATH, OR HAVING HIM COME SQUEAKING AND FORCING HIMSELF ON ME BEFORE A SINGLE TEAR HAS A CHANCE TO FALL FROM MY EYE. WE WILL FIND EACH OTHER AGAIN IN LIFE AFTER THIS. UNTIL THEN, HEARTS ARE ACHING AND EVERY MOMENT WILL REMIND ME OF BUBBY… AND I WILL CRY, AND I WILL SMILE.

BUBBY WAS AN ANGEL, THANK YOU GOD FOR SHARING HIM. TAKE CARE OF HIM UNTIL I CAN AGAIN.
