Who we loved beyond measure:
Who we all had to watch out for because she was blind:
And I do mean everyone had to watch out for:
Who Raelee even read books to:
Who always listened to what was going on around her:
Who amazed us with her survival determination:
Who always made us smile:
Is no longer with us.
Lexi gave us 2.5 wonderful years of caring for her, watching out for her, being her eyes, and loving her. Steph and Raelee raced home from the ends of the earth every evening to be sure she made it in from the great outdoors. Lexi taught us to have Easter Egg hunts daily looking for her randomly placed eggs. And Lexi lucked out and found a place that would love her forever even if she was blind - with her very special kid. A mommy and kid that hand fed her, cuddled her, talked to her and a showed her where her water dish was; over and over again. Yes, Lexi was our very special gal.
Lexi was attacked by an unknown something last Friday (the 9th) and though everyone tried to get her well again, she was just too weak and tired.
Lexi died Thursday the 15th.
We're gonna miss you Lexi Lu. We will always love ya and we will miss ya - esp every evening when it is your bedtime! I hope you are finally seeing all of God's green earth, I hope you can find a grasshopper on your own and I hope you can finally find a nest to put those eggs in!
