My heart is aching today and I feel so empty. You left me a few days ago, so weak and tired. I didn’t want you to leave but I knew God would take you to a better place, one with lakes and ponds for you to “fish” in and make bubbles. You can have all the bones you want and play with squeakies all day long. I miss our time together. You were always there, for 16 years, through good times and through painful times. You would listen as I rambled, you would lay next to me so I was never alone. Now the emptiness is almost unbearable, but I am trying to hold on to all the wonderful memories you have given me.
God, please take good care of Mandy. She loves to eat, swim and go for car rides. She doesn’t like to be alone so please keep her with you. Be good, my girl, and I will see you one day and we will swim together forever.
I love you, my black eyed beauty.
You are in my heart for always, Mom
