    Our little buddy Arion was such a sweet little guy! He had the largest brown eyes you ever did see! I used to tease him all the time, I would tell him "hey Arion, the cows called, they want thier eyes back!" and he would reply by covering his eyes with his hands and saying "No! My Eyes!" Him and his cousin Ivy were constant companions. Riding bikes or scooters or just playing cars or watching a cartoon, the two were like a couple of peas in a pod.

    He was so cute when he did the Badger Dance! He saw the flash cartoon when I showed it to him one day and ever since he would break out in the dance and sing "Badgum, Badgum, Badgum, Mushoom, Mushoom!" You really need to watch the badger song (CLICK HERE) to understand the silliness of it all, he was such a joy to watch.

    Arion loved his Father unconditionally and if there is any consolation whatsoever in his death, it would have to be that he at least is with his father and not alone. Neither himself or his dad could have ever survived without one another.

    Every day when I would return home from work Arion was there waiting for me. He would charge after me shouting grampa and latch onto my leg with a hug as tight as any vice! Every night he would come to our bedroom and climb onto the bed and give me and grandma a hug and a kiss and tell us "I love you, goodnight!" I will miss this the most.

    One More Day With You
    by Diamond Rio

    Last night I had a crazy dream
    A wish was granted just for me
    It could be for anything
    I didn't ask for money
    Or a mansion Malibu
    I simply wished for
    One more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset
    Maybe I'd be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Would leave me wishing still
    For one more day with you

    First thing I'd do
    Is pray for time to crawl
    I'd unplug the telephone
    Keep the TV off
    I'd hold you every second
    Say a million 'I love you's'
    That's what I'd do
    With one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset
    Maybe I'd be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what that would do
    Would leave me wishing still
    For one more day with you
