Do you remember....wasn't it yesterday, When you and I first met? When all the world seemed like a ray, of sunshine not yet set. It seemed to be a natural, to bring you home with me. You didn't waiver...not at all, at what your life would be. We looked at life a lot alike, just let the world go by. Whatever it was came up the pike, would work for you and I. No matter what I asked of you, no matter what the test, you never raised your voice or grew impatient with my quest. You grew to be a thing of beauty, and off to shows we'd go. Sometimes you saw it as your duty, to steal the whole darn show. You proved to be a wonderful Mother, so proud we are of your crew. They'll be the proof to every other, how very special were you. I was still so proud of my little girl, when I watched your face grow white. You were much more valuable than any pearl, and I fought it with all my might. But on that day I saw in your eyes, the look I wanted to miss. No matter how strong I made my cries, no time was better than this. And so to you my Little Pridey, I gave my final gift. I watched as you went to face your All Mighty. Sweet memories...is what I have left. Sleep well my "Perfect Little Pridey Girl". Diane Hoy
