Nova,

Words can’t describe what I feel for you. You are the thing that gets me up every morning. You came to me during a time when no one understood what I was going through. I honestly believe without you I would not be here today. You saved my life.

I remember when I first got you I thought you hated me. You never cuddled with me, you never licked me. You seemed to be very independent dog, one who didn’t need me. As the months pasted your personality came through. I remember the first day you came and sat on the couch with me, I remember the tears I cried, tears for joy. Now I know by the things and looks you do that you love me as much as I love you.

I’m not sure of your past, but that’s ok. I only want to make your future bright. I want the days we have together to go on forever, and even though they can’t I want you to know I will always love you and that you will always be in my heart, my sweet Nova, my shinning Star.

Love, Mom
