My little Man

Shilo 4/26/2003-10/8/2013

Before bringing you home, we debated on what to call you.  I clearly remember pulling into the driveway, exiting the car and hearing me saying in my head “Shilo, come on girl.”  And that was it.  Your name would be Shilo.  Oh, how I cherish the countless times we uttered those words to you during our time together.

We recognize and will be forever grateful for the role you filled of first child, as we struggled to have a baby of our own.  We laugh at the memory of the day we brought Emery home, and you broke out in hives.  Nothing a little benadryl couldn’t fix.

Thank you for your unconditional love throughout these past ten years.  You were a great companion, super with the kids and always made plenty of noise to keep the solicitors away.  You are now gone, but will never be forgotten.  You will live on in our hearts and memories, and we love you forever.  Shilo, come on girl.  

Boys!
