I think this is the first time I have actually journaled and cried as I was writing it. It reads:

On July 4, 2001 our daughter, Cheryl Dale, was born. Her life was so short, only 30 minutes. The weeks after her death, Jim and I felt as if we were in a fog. We had the idea that we should look into getting a dog. We did some research, and decided on Boston Terriers. One of the guys that worked with Jim had a relative that was going to be receiving a “shipment” from Alabama of Boston Terriers puppies. The day we went over to pick out our new puppies, we found out that they had been born on July 1, 2001. To me, I have always thought that God was preparing for our loss with the birth of our puppies only a few days before Cheryl was to be born. The day we brought home Gizmo and Kyra was one of the happiest days in our young married life. They brought back a joy and laughter that had been missing since Cheryl had passed away. There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by, that I look at them and feel that they truly did save us.
