Our Sweet Beezer


It has taken me awhile to write anything or tell anyone about it, but our sweet Beezer passed away on August 21st. He had been staying with Chris' grandparents in High Point for most of the summer because of our different trips. Chris was able to make it in time and be with him until the very end. He still got a little sparkle in his eye when Chris brought him a golf ball and I think he was really hanging on just for Chris.
Just this past Tuesday we took his ashes to Lake Lynn where he spent a lot of time swimming and playing as a puppy and Chris has a lot of wonderful memories of him there. Meredith was there with us and it was obviously very emotional, but exactly how it needed to be for our boy.
He was 16 and a half years old and had a wonderful life. We knew it would come one day, but nevertheless, it has been incredibly difficult on us. Even though Meredith will never remember him, we are thankful that their paths could cross for even a short time. He knew she was 'one of us' and had completely accepted her, which makes us both happy :)
Here is a picture of our two kids!
