	I love you with all my heart. I miss you already. I know your in a better place now. Please watch over my mom, she misses you very much.

I'm sure Nyla will keep you busy up there. I love you good boy....Rest in peace!!! -Steph

	Reiko, i cant begin to describe how much we all miss you already...please know we were just trying to put you ahead of ourselves in doing what we did. We love you sooo much and miss you tremendously! I will never forget our dog park visits or anything else we've done, and buddy, we have done A LOT together! between sneaking you into a hotel room with me and running through the rain in the mountains we sure did make the most of your time here! I LOVE YOU BUDDY MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW, WE ALL DO...AND ALWAYS WILL. There will never be another! Love Always, Your sister, Andrea

	Reiko, the hardest thing I did in my life was letting you go. My heart is breaking right now. I feel like all I do is cry, missing you and wishing you were here. God, I think, "did I do the right thing?" Could Reiko have gotten better. But in my heart I know that you were not going to get better and you were in pain. I'm so sorry and I only wish I could have taken that pain away. But I couldn't buddy. You gave me twelve wonderful years. I always said and I always will, "YOU ARE THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD." God blessed me when you came into my life. You were so gentle and kind. As the people at Parkside said, you were a gentle giant. The house is so lonely without you. I keep hoping that you will be there when I get home. But I know you are in a much better place, where there is no pain and suffering. I couldn't watch you in pain no more. You were so brave, right to the end. My heart is aching as I am writing this, because I love you and miss you so much. Please rest in peace and I know that someday we will be together again. And when that day comes, please run right over to me because I have the biggest hug in the world to give you. I love you with all my heart. Your Mom.

	Reiko, today is Tuesday, July 21 and the pain of losing you is too much. I walk in the house, looking for you to wag your tail and come over with some toy in your mouth. And I miss giving you a big hug and kiss. But you're not there. I keep praying that you could come back to me. It hurts so much the loss of losing you. I walk around that empty house looking at every part of the house that you laid in. I hold your toy smelling it, just to feel your near. But nothing seems to help. I just keep crying and wishing you were back. I miss you and love you with all my heart. Please know that I will always love you and there will never be another dog to take your place. To the best dog in the world. I love you, Mom

	Reiko, It was one week ago today that you went to Heaven. It just seems so unreal. Not one day goes by that I do not cry and wish you were here. I miss you soooo much. You were my buddy and I would always call you My Handsome Boy. This morning I looked at your pictures and smelled your toy (and of course cried). How I wish I could hold you, touch you again and squeeze you like I always did. I feel like I'm in a daze and that you are coming back. I know you are in a much better place and in no more pain and I am so glad for that. Just the loneliness of not having you with me hurts ever so much. I will always love you with all my heart and in a way I never want to let go of you. You are, and will always be, the BEST DOG IN THE WORLD. How can I not miss you so much. I only hope and pray that you knew how much I loved you. Til we meet again, Love, Your Mom

	Reiko, it is Monday, July 27th. Just a note to say, "I Love You and Miss You." I keep looking at your pictures and wishing so much you were here. I keep asking myself, "Does it ever get easier?" I hope so because this hurts way too much. I hate going home because I know you are not there. It is so lonely. You were always there to greet me at the door and I loved kissing you when I came through the door. You are my handsome boy and always will be. I keep saying, You Were the Best and I know you always will be. No dog could ever replace you and I don't think I could ever get one. There will always be only you. I miss your grabbing my hand to take you to the door and taking your head to tell me to get up and either let you out or feed you. You had such a way of expressing what you wanted. God, I think of some of the things you did and I laugh and cry at the same time. My heart aches always for you. I'm crying now as I write this because I love and miss you so much. I hope you are playing with Chance and Nyla and are having so much fun. I will write to you often. My at peace my buddy and know how much I love and miss you. See you in Heaven, Love, Your Mom

	Someone posted this for me when I lost my beautiful cat, Bandit (BamBam) McCarthy on Feb 1st, 09 - almost 6 months to the day. I can tell from reading your candles how much you loved Reiko. I hope this poem brings you the same tears of hope it brought me. God Bless you all, Jen X The Rainbow Bridge story Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together..

	Reiko, I know your sisters are worried about me. They probably think I'm going over the edge. All I know is that I miss you every day. I sit in the backyard and wish you were there with me laying on the grass. I miss our walks and I miss talking to you. You were all I had at home. I look around and wish you were there. You were such company for me. And I love you with all my heart. It hurts not to have you in my life. I miss you tremendously. Please know you are always in my heart and on my mind. Andrea wants to get my car detailed so we can get the dog hairs and your drool cleaned up. She is always thinking of trying to keep me happy. Stephanie cries with me. She hates to see me cry. I love you and your sisters miss you too. YOU ARE THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD, I ALWAYS SAID THAT AND ALWAYS WILL. TIL WE MEET AGAIN, HAVE FUN AND PLEASE RUN TO ME WHEN I ENTER HEAVEN'S GATES, LOVE, MOM

	The Rainbow Bridge story brought many, many tears to my eyes. I literally cried my eyes out. I hope and pray that when that days comes, I see my Reiko (whom I love with all my heart and always will) and he runs to me so I can squeeze him, hug him and kiss him and tell him once again how much I love him and he is my handsome boy. I look forward to the day when this does not hurt so much. Right now I feel like my life is so empty without you Reiko. I hate going home. I sit in the driveway, wishing you were looking out the window, waiting for me to come in the house. I dread it because I know you will not be there to greet me and I can hug and kiss you. My heart actully hurts every day and I look at your pictures and cry my eyes out. I keep asking "Why?" I know that day had to come sometime, but I never wanted it to. I would have loved to have more time with you. You are the best dog in the world. You will always be my buddy and best friend. Til we meet again my friend, I love you with all my heart, MOM

	Reiko, I miss you so much. I think about you all the time. I look at your pictures and cry and wish you were here. I know that cannot happen. But I think about all the times we had together. You are and will always be the best dog in the world. And you can be sure I tell everyone that. When does it get a little easier? I'm finding it so hard to let go. I want you back so much. I really cannot put into words how much I love you and miss you. I pray every day that God helps me to get through this period because I am finding it sooooo hard. I see you everywhere in that house. I dread going in there now because I know you are not there. It is so empty. I keep saying you are in no more pain. But then I wonder if there was more that could have been done. I know I am torturing myself but God I wish you were here. I do hope though that you are with Nyla, Chance and the other dogs running and playing and having a wonderful time. Til we meet again, I love you with all my heart, Mom

	Reiko, I keep writing to you as if you can read. But it makes me feel better putting my feelings into words. There is not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts and on my mind. God, I wish you were here. Sometimes we take for granted someone or something until we no longer have them. I never took you for granted, but I guess I felt you were going to be around for a long time. We had 12 years together and I wish we had 12 more. If you could have tolerated me that long. Please know that I loved (and still love) you with all my heart. I'm crying right now because I miss you so much. People say it gets easier but I'm not feeling that. I look at your handsome face in your pictures and I wish you were here so I could call you my handsome boy as I did so many times. You are so handsome and I love you. Miss you so much. Til I see you again, please know that I love you with all my heart. Mom

	Reiko, I keep looking at your picture in the car (right in front of me on the dashboard) and I tell you everyday how much I love you and miss you. I still keep crying because I miss the best dog in the world. You are truly loved and missed by me. I don't think a day goes by that I don't think about you, wish you were here, tell you how much I love you and that you are a handsome boy. I use to tell you that so often. You are mommy's handsome boy. I will never get another dog. I love and miss you too much. I hope you are happy in Heaven playing with Nyla, Chance and all the other dogs. Someday we will be together again and I will squeeze you so hard. I love you and miss you always. Your Mom

	Reiko, Today is Thursday, September 3, 2009. I just looked at some of your pictures. It seems everyday it never gets easier. I keep asking, "Why?" I just don't understand. One day you were fine, then it seems like you got sick so quickly and it went by so quickly. I remember seeing you go through so much pain, and crying so hard, wishing you would get better. But everyday it seems you got worse. But I keep asking myself, did I do everything I could to take care of you and maybe you would have pulled through it all. But everyone says it was the right thing to do. I truly hope and pray it was. I miss you so much. I want so much to hold and squeeze you like I did so many times and tell you how much I love you. Those days are over, but somehow it seems like I can't get over this. I wish you were here with me again. Maybe I would do things so different. I don't know. I love and miss you with all my heart. Be at peace by Big Boy! Love you, Mom

	Reiko, today is Thursday, September 10, 2009. I'm at work thinking about you and missing you so much. I don't know what more I can say. I always say how much I love you and miss you. And I truly do. I want to pick up your toys and hold them, but I know if I do I will cry my eyes out. It seems like forever since I saw you last. But I miss you as much, if not more, than I did the day you left this earth. It seems so lonely without you. How I miss our walks at lunch time. I walked once past where we use to walk and cried my eyes out. It just does not seem possible. Over and over in my mind do I go over how you got sick so quickly and how everything just went by so quickly. But I am glad that your sickness did not linger. That I could not have watched. Those few days watching you suffer broke my heart. I love you Reiko. You are truly missed and loved. And you are my handsome boy and always will be. Til we meet again, Mom

	Reiko, I'm back and it's Mom! Today is Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Just wanted to let you know once again how much I miss you and love you. I know you can't read these notes I write to you, but I feel better. It's as if I was talking to you. God, how I talked to you so much everyday. You were the only person I had at home and I think I talked your ear off. But you were always there for me. I feel so alone everyday. How I wish you were here. Somehow I know I would not feel that loneliness. I see other dogs, pictures of other dogs, but it does not make me want to get another dog at all. I just keep thinking I had the BEST DOG IN THE WORLD!! I think of some of the things you use to do and it makes me laugh and cry at the same time. You were so smart. I kow your sisters miss you also. They tell me from time to time. I don't think that they want me to think so much, because they know how much it hurts. They try to stay strong. But I know they miss you so much. Andrea misses taking you to the dog park and all the walks you went on. Stephanie misses coming to the house and hugging you and playing with you. You were a very special part of all of our lives. You are truly loved and missed and always will be. I will be writing to you soon again. Maybe God can read this to you and I will see you in the next life. Love Always, Mom

	Reiko, today is Friday, October 23, 2009. I have had so much going on. I miss you so much. But I know once you give your life to The Lord I believe there are reasons for alot of things that happen. I think God took you at the time He did so I could spend time with my mother. I am there all the time and who would have been there for you. I could have taken you with me, but her apartment is too small and you would not have had alot of room to move around. So God knows what is going to happen way before we do. But that still does not mean that I don't miss you so much and I love you. We also have Little Vincent coming into the world. How I am looking forward to seeing my little pumpkin. That's what I call him. I can't wait to see his beautiful face. That is also a blessing that God has brought into our lives. Nyla and you are both gone and God knows how much Stephanie and I loved (and still love) the two of you. You meant the world to us. But God has the perfect timing for everything. I have to believe that. Otherwise, I would keep wondering why he took you so quickly. I hope you are playing and running and having a great time in Heaven with Nyla and the other dogs. Just to also let you know that I have not (and will never) get another dog. No dog could, or will ever, take your place. I have your picture on mydashboard in the car and I look at your face and tell you how much I love you and miss you. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! Be good and until we meet again, I LOVE YOU! Your Mom
