It’s been almost a month since you passed away and I miss you so much. That morning when I looked at you, I saw something in your eyes that said it was “time”. You were telling me that you were ready to go, but wasn’t ready to let go. I sat down next to you, hugged you, kissed you, talked to you and prayed for you to get better. To eat, to drink, to get up and run and play. To chase your ball and carry your stuffed baby the way you used to. You just looked at me with those “sad eyes” as if to say “I’m ready” “please let me go”. It was then that I knew I had to do
what was best for you and I did.

I took you to the vet, and stayed with you while you passed. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but I knew then that you were at peace. I stayed with you for a long time, I didn’t want to leave! I felt like a part of me was gone! I went home and Isis smelled my hands and I think she too knew were were gone and at peace. She had stayed really close by your side while you were sick and she too, misses you horribly. Drake asked about you that night and we told him you were in heaven.

We told him that you were playing with all the other animals and that you weren’t in pain anymore. He cried and was very sad but I think he understood. I have your ashes sitting on my headboard and I talk to you every night. I tell you how much I miss and love you. Even though you are not here physically, you are with me in spirit always. I will never forget you my “Ms. MOLLY SUE”. We will be together again!

 

Love and Miss you with all my Heart,
Molly Sue Ann Victoria
