I don't know why I'm just now seeing this. I can't imagine your sadness over this loss. Your story of Emerson has touched me and I never even met him. I can tell how much you loved each other. I'm so terribly sorry that this had to happen. Your heart dog separated from you way too soon. I lost mine last November to lung cancer. He was 13. I was very blessed. I'm so sorry that your time was cut so short. But, it's evident from your words about him that you enjoyed every moment just as much as he did. He was a beautiful boy that had a great smile. I wish there was something I could do to take away the sorrow but I know from experience that nothing can do that. So, I hope our words have been some comfort to you.
**My apologies. I just now realized it's been a year.**
