Good Bye to our Dearest Brittan

I received a call early this afternoon from my Sis-In-Law Mindy who told me that Brittan was not going to last much longer in this life. Then, only a few hours later, Mindy called me with the sad news that she had passed away. She had all of her family by her side and went peacefully surrounded by love.

Brittan was our, Mine and Jason's, first baby. We bought her before we got married and had her with us till Kadin was about 2 months old. We couldn't have asked for a better family for her to go to. My brother, Justin and his wonderful wife Mindy asked if they could take her in as their own. There, she was showered with love and affection and given unconditional love. She always had a great game of "BALL" everyday and never went without more then she needed. I'm sure that she is up in Heaven right now playing "BALL" and never gets tired and needs a break. We love you Brittan and you'll always be our first baby and a member of the Hill family. Thanks Justin, Mindy, Isaac, Ethan and Abby for giving her the home she deserved.

Here's a blog entry from Mindy's blog that made me realize how old she really was... and that her days weren't long. Thursday, June 18, 2009 Dear Doggie, You know , you've been a bad girl lately.... Not saying we don't love you. After the 9 or so years we've been together, we pretty much adore you. Your Master, however is quite fed up with you. I know you can't help yourself when there is food in the trash can and the kids always walk away with an entire plate of food just sitting there going to waste. I know you can't help that your tummy hurts because you are old and you throw up everywhere in the house (usually at the back door). I know you can't help it that last week you wanted to go exploring and the police and a complete stranger had to bring you back...TWICE Just try to be a good girl! The sun is setting on your doggie years here. It broke my heart when you couldn't get up into bed with me last week. You bones ache. You still want to play ball all the time like before, but it's too hard for you..... We will love you always, just get it together little missy! Love, Your Family Posted by JMHill Family at 6/18/2009 2 comments Links to this post
