You saved my life, not once but twice. You kept me free from falling. You saved my life, made it all alright when I didn’t feel like talking. You made sure I always saw the daylight.

Indeed, it’s true that “grief is the price we pay for love“. So, I’ll continue to spend every penny my soul has to offer for the honor and privilege of having loved the many souls I’ve lost, not the least of which was my Walter’s. I was lucky to be chosen as his person, and no, there will never be another like him. God Himself knows how many ways he saved my life, and how, yes, he really did keep me from falling off the edge of this Earth.
Few are they who know what sick, twisted, and truly evil things really happened to me and my daughter in the wake of my husband’s literal insanity then suicide, and how Lord Williamson went to war with the devil who took residence in our home in the months before he left. Hell, even Zack knew there was a monster lurking inside his head, but it wasn’t until our beloved and faithful Walter finally “knew” and SAW the creature hiding beneath Zack’s skin and almost ripped his hand off that Zack decided to put both himself and that Godforsaken thing down. It’s an unbelievable story, this I know too well, but true nonetheless. My point in all this being that when in passing you’ve heard it said, “my dog would take a bullet for me”, I am here to tell you that not only would Walter have literally taken a bullet for me and mine, I watched in disbelief with my very own eyes as he physically placed himself between me and something inexplicably abhorrent to protect me the night before Zack shot himself.
And so, with that, I’ll see you on The Brighter Side, my handsome, where I pray to GOD that your dad really was waiting There for you with arms wide open. Only time will tell, I suppose. Until then, I love you “FURever”, Lord Walter The Williamson. ~ Mommy
