"Buster You Did It"
|
Buster 06/26/1990 - 08/04/2005
I had to put to sleep my best friend. He was so old and miserable, blind, and weakened from cancer. I still remember the day he came into my life. My mother bought him from San Jose for a pet for her. She called him Sundance because that is what his aka papers named him. However, he had other plans. The moment he came running into the house and I saw him and he saw me we knew that we were going to be life long friends. I was only 21 and chasing girls which when I brought home one he would always jump in between us. I lost him once when he was three and for three days I took off work and passed out flyers un till someone answered and returned him. When he was five I went to law school and he stayed with my grandmother for a year but I missed him so much I came and picked him up to stay with me. He was struck by a car at the age of 6 and recovered after a few weeks of pain. At 10 he was kidnapped and luckily my neighbor got the license plate # and I tracked him down. At thirteen he brought my wife a ring which he wore around his neck when I asked my wife to marry me. At thirteen, he was old and he was tired and I asked him just to wait for a little while longer until I had a child. Buster, my best friend lived 15 years in my life and I am so much richer for having him there through the heart ache and happiness of my life. I Love you and my heart breaks so much when I think of you not at my feet at night, but thank you for your service. I am so proud of you. You did it. By 08/18/05, my daughter Elizabeth will be born and when she asks about the little rose wood urn on the mantel of the fire place, I can not wait to tell her the story of your life and how you kept your promises to me to the end. Thank you for your life and thank you for waiting as long as you did for me. I Love you and I know that you are at peace. Running like you use too, playing with me in my heart with seeing eyes and strong legs. My "bubba-head" my buster I will never let you out of my heart. Good-bye until we meet again. Forever with love. Your best friend, Paul Adams |
