In Loving Memory of you, Bandit

Bandit Boogie Murphy, you were our first.

It's been almost three years since you had to leave us Peepers, and we want you to know that you are still so much a part of our lives. You taught us more about love and unselfishness, Boo, than any other living soul ever could.

When you got sick in the end, all three of us tried so hard to hold on, but you knew it was time and so we were forced to say goodbye. But you are never far from our thoughts and always in our hearts. You will never be forgotten, my Love-Doggy.

Daddy still remembers his bestest buddy and the times when you and he would romp around the house listening to AC/DC. You were rough and tumble with Daddy and sweet and affectionate with me, you were a great snuggler. We will miss you forever, our little Peepers, and we wait for the time when we can all be re-united at the Rainbow Bridge. It will be then, that we can all go take that journey together to heaven for eternity. We hope you are happy and healthy there and making friends with all the other furbabies. Until we see you again...

All Our Love and Hugs,
Mommy and Daddy

PS> You have a little brother, Charlie *B*. Thanks for sending him to us...We now also refer to you as Brother *B*

...about a year and a half after adopting Charlie *B*, we adopted another little rescue beagle, we named him Tucker Bandi...I just know you love your brothers as much as we do, we have a feeling you had something to do with their being here. *wink*

We dedicated this song to you, Bandit, after you passed away, it just seems to express everything we feel for you...

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
