One year ago today, our Bayley was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and we were hopeful that the Lord would give us atleast another year to enjoy his big brown eyes, his selfless heart, his warm kisses, and constant laughs. His doctors were hopeful as well since he was such a strong boy and we were able to diagnosis the cancer early on. After 6 months of chemotherapy, our beautiful boy was taken from us too soon. There was something special about that golden retriever...it was as if a tiny little man lived inside his soul....we miss that little man. So, today and almost every day, we remember our Bayley.
Here he is on his first day of chemotherapy....so hopeful
He's signing the consent form but looked to me to sign the parental consent
His first battle wound...so proud!
Three weeks after his diagnosis we took a trip to the mountains in North Carolina so he could run and enjoy being outside. This was an action shot on one of the hiking trails. This trip, despite the chemotherapy pills and special diet that he had to endure while we were there, lifted his spirits, but I think it lifted our spirits even more.
He definately was a 'looker'
Wet from swimming in nanny and poppops pool....he did a lot of swimming last summer...good exercise on his joints and of course his favorite pasttime.
Poppop actually let Bayley steer his boat on our first trip out on his new boat!
Just chill'in in the back, breeze in his hair
Lick'in the salty ocean air off his lips
Love me some Bayley
Lounge'in...he was sooo funny
Daddy kisses
Mommy kisses
At the young age of 6, Bay was taken from us far too soon. Without those short 6 years though, our lives would have been incomplete. He filled a special place in our hearts that we will never let go and his spirit will remain in our home forever. Live on Bayley Bear! We love you!
