    Thank you all so very much for your sweet comments. ❤️ This is not an easy night, it’s not going to be an easy tomorrow, or Sunday, the day when I have to turn in her harness and handle back to GDB. Oh my heart, I’m going to be a mess, but your love, encouragement, and prayers will help me get through. And to those who are wondering, I am keeping Antonia as our family pet. I could never give her away, she is my third daughter who I love with all my heart. Even though this is emotionally difficult for me, I am trusting and believing that God has another Angel just waiting for me who will be just as amazing as Antonia! I walk by faith, not by sight! Love you all so much and I am so blessed to have you all in my life. 😘😘

      ItsYeBoiKj No, I have only been completely blind for 10 years. However I have never seen anything in my right eye, and only a small amount in my left since I was three. I have only had enough vision in my past to see shapes, colors, and movements within a couple of feet. And don’t worry about asking me questions about this, I don’t consider it rude, just curious. Love educating and bring awareness so feel free to ask more.

      awws, I'm happy you get to keep her as a pet! most people don't get to as they can't afford to keep a pet & working dog. But it's awesome she gets to stay with her family, even if she isn't guiding you. She'll be getting a new sibling too! :) BTW is she retiring from being too old or is there a max limit of years you can keep a dog working?

      I know, I can’t believe she is gone either and it’s been almost one year. I wish I could see her beautiful face in these videos. I have her etched in my memories through the way I used to see her with my hands. I know she is watching over me from heaven, helping mommy and my new guiding angel Arabella travel through this world safely.

Animals are so important in my life, and losing one really takes a toll on my physical health as I am not in the best of health. I know the love they give is special, especially when they are a service and/or therapy dog.
    What a beautiful tribute you gave to her, thank you for sharing this personal video.

    This made me cry! Your love for her is beautiful and although I am not blind, I know the love. I have a 5 month old pup in training to hopefully become my future service dog. He is amazing at all of his training and makes me so proud. The pride you feel for them and the trust you put into them. Knowing that they make you life so much more fulfilled and accessable is amazing. My dog is only 5 months old and has not even gone through all his training, and I already almost had to retire him because the vet thought he had a liver problem. Turns out it was a false alarm, but those weeks of not knowing and fearing the worst, hurt in ways I didnt understand. Knowing that he has SO much potential, knowing that he truely LOVES working.. then thinking it may be cut short.. it killed me. Heres hoping for a good long 10+ year run for my little guy. And heres to your awsome retired pup!

    I stumbled upon you today, March 8, 2018 and I have to say that you truly inspire me. You're absolutely amazing, courageous, smart, comical, charming and Stunning! I'm so happy to have found your channel as you've opened my mind to a entire new world for daily struggles & adventures. I need to learn to not sweat the small stuff, and if there's a will, there's a way. What inspires me the most about you is, not once have I heard you complain, not one time! You have a larger than life beautiful personality and your smile that lights the room is beaming in every video. Bless you! I hope that with each new video you post I can learn from you, I can become a stronger women and finally realize why we're all created differently. I believe you've made me understand the phrase many of us have been told for years, "God doesn't give us more than we can handle"
    I look forward to watching many, many more of your videos. I've fallen in love with your family, y'all are simply Beautiful!

    I realize, that this video was a very hard video for you to make, Antonio is such a loving dog and such a loving member of your family. May God bless you and your family. Many hugs joy. just know, that she was loved and will always be loved by you and God. Even though she is not physically here on earth, she is in spirit with you. She said she wishes you all the best with your third guy dog. As do I. I know retiring Arabella was a hard thing to, but Arabella will be loved as well with you guys. I can't wait to hear another video of your third angel. I know, whoever this new amazing guiding angel will be, I know she will do just as amazing as Antonio and Arabella have done and it for you.

    dang eye sweat. I have a friend who has been through several Guide Dogs, it's hard on him and it is hard on the dogs when they have to retire. Keeping the retired dog as a pet is the only humane choice. Dogs are special, they are the only animal on the planet that has made an alliance with us. We cry when they come into our lives, we cry when they leave us. But we never regret having them.
    Glad I found this channel. I don't subscribe to many, but I'll make an exception for this one.
