To Saidee,

You will never read this yourself, but I hope I show you how important you are to me. You bring sunshine to every rainy day. You bring laughter to every situation. You bring joy to everyone.

You are my best friend and heart.

You have taught me what unconditional love is. You have taught me that love does not discriminate on looks, ethnicity, gender, age. You taught me that there is always something to smile and be thankful for.

You have brought me such peace and happiness it is hard to put into words. You have made my heart expand ten times larger than it was before I ever knew you.

You are such a precious display of God's love for His children that all I can do sometimes is look at you and be in complete awe of the silent language that you and I have.

You know when I'm happy, when I'm upset, when I'm scared, and when I'm lonely. You know when to push yourself against me so I can feel the heart of wholehearted love and selflessness.

Having you apart of my life makes the days that much easier knowing I have you to come home to and hug.

The way you take pleasure it just sitting out on the patio with me while I read or eat breakfast, the way you want to meet every person we pass when we go on a walk, the way you press your nose underneath my hand so it's resting on you.

All of those things make bad days a little better.

Yes, sometimes you frustrate me because I don't always know what you want, but I do know that you've been the one that has always been there for me no matter the circumstance, no matter the timing.

To some you may be just a dog, but to me you're my best friend and my heart. You're apart of my family and you mean everything to me and I thank God everyday for placing you in my life.
