The Gift of You

I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real, as if it had been so.
For us to have each other is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you.

It's been a long journey, but we are so excited to be this close! ****************************************************************** Update: We have obviously adopted our daughter, so this is now the Akers Family website.

Happy Birthday, Trish!!!


We've been terrible about posting, and this is a little delinquent, but Trish celebrated her 39th birthday on Aug 8th. Given the recent events with losing Dewey, no one really felt much like celebrating. Nonetheless, she had a special cake, Red Velvet, baked by her wonderful husband.

Tribute to Dewey (2000-2008)



With incredible sadness, my beloved little Dewey passed away this morning. He had been battling with various issues for the past year and finally succumed to acute kidney failure. Unfortunately, I was out of town on business at the time and Trish had to handle everything alone. When she called from the vet's office and told me he had died, I immediately thought of the movie "My Dog Skip" and knew that he hadn't really died, "for he will forever live in my heart." I love and miss you Dewey!
