My Heart and Soul
Dearest Bindi,

I know that you will never be able to read my letter of gratitude and love that I write to you this day, but I will make sure that I read it to you.

I never in a million years would have thought that the day I signed up to try my hand at being a puppy raiser for guide dogs that it would change my life. That you, would change my life.

The day you arrived I quickly realised I was out of my depth and you were such a closed off thing. Normally puppies crave affection and closeness to their people, never let them out of their sight. Not you. You kept yourself at a distance and we wondered if we were doing something wrong. It took you a few weeks to finally sit over in the lounge area with us at night while we were watching tv, and pats weren't really your thing. You would tolerate them, but only in small doses. What you wanted was to learn, to be constantly doing something, playing, training, demanding. None of this sappy love stuff. You had days and days, hours upon hours to fill and I was expected to fill them with you. You were, in a two words a "holy terror" and I adored you.

You taught me so much in such a short space of time, and eventually I began to think perhaps you at least liked me.

We became a team you and I and we still are today, nearly 15 years later.

You not only gave me a purpose in life, but eventually a career. You gave me grandpuppies to love, if only for a short while before they went on to do their thing and you ended up giving me a love I can and will never replace.
You showed me that I was worth something, was good at something, could be something and I will forever be grateful.


Now we sit in a timeframe of "how much longer do we have together" and what the hell will my life be like without you in it. I can't even let myself begin to imagine.

But my love and gratitude for you holds no bounds and long after we finally have to say goodbye it will remain. you are the love of my life, now and alway.

Love
Mum.
