Prieta Lynn was more than my friend. She was a close Adame companion, a flower.

It's July 7th 2008. PRIETA was more than a friend.
Prieta Lynn died today. For almost eighteen years she brought joy and comfort into our home. She loved to play and she was more patient with children than I could ever be.
She was free.. Just a four week old mixed breed terrier/dauchound (I think)… We all fell in love with her and she loved us. She loved the Adame family and anyone who darkened the Adame door was welcomed by Prieta….. You would be surprised just how many people loved her.
She had a heart murmur…she took medicine for it, but I think it finally got the best of her. .. She brought me great joy and comfort…She loved her daddy and I loved her…..
My heart is broken today, but I am still grateful for the day, almost eighteen years ago in January, when my son Benjamin Adame and I (Maybe it was Billy) were walking by a car at the Flea-market in Jacksonville NC…The car trunk was opened and an elderly lady asked if we wanted to see her pups…. We leaned into the trunk to see into the card board box where four puppies were sleeping…Three were black & white in color…The other puppy was all black and smaller than the others…..We picked her up from the box and the lady said "Take her home, she´s four weeks old….she´s yours"….The lady grabbed a paper sack from her trunk , took the puppy from my hands and placed it in the bag….and handed it back to me. We took the puppy home, not ever imaging that she would be with us for almost eighteen years.
She loved Benjamin, our youngest son… They slept together from the time Ben was about 11 until he left home to join the Army. He loved her too. Sometimes she would just sit and stare at him. She adored Benjamin.
If I could explain how much I loved her, I would, but I cannot find the words to say how I loved her and how grateful I am that she came into our lives that day so long ago.
She died today after bravely resisting a bad heart……She made my heart bigger, stronger and more joyful than had she not ever came into my life.
I will always love Prieta Lynn. I miss her already and she only left us this morning.
My heart is breaking as I write this,,, but I know time heals well….. Today I can´t imagine that, but I know the pain will pass….Her memory is etched in my mind and heart. We have hundreds of pictures of her during growing stages of her life…She is sort of still here with us. She is still with me.
I know, she was just a dog……….. .. Not to me.
If there is a dog heaven,,, Prieta is there.. She went there this morning………about seven o´clock.
