You Will Always Be Remembered, Bella

12 years already since you first came into our life. Paco also was here along with you at that time. It is with deep pain and sadness that we will not meet again. Let's hope in the next lifetimes we do cross our paths.

It is hard to believe that Paco left us last year in January and almost one year later, you are leaving us, in circumstances that we cannot really explain.

There are so many memories of you and Paco. You both played an important role in our lives. We never felt ourselves alone at home as we know you were always here to cherish us in boring, sad and upsetting times.

We will all miss your footsteps behind us. You were always ready to follow us.

We will miss a true guardian like you, Bella.

It is hard to imagine that we will no longer be able to call your name each time or even punish you when you have done something bad (joking, it was not fun for us also), but you turned into a good girl, obeying us each time.

You were a bit naughty with Paco, but I am sure right now you will keep us in your memory wherever you are now, you and Paco. I am sure you are saying to yourselves that we treated you both as family members.

When Paco passed away last year, it was hard, but it was not as hard as it is now. Because we knew Paco was suffering a lot, and we knew that you were still here, and we would make sure to give you all the care and love needed so that you could live a long and healthy life. But life chose a different path for you.

Bella, always and forever in our hearts.
