10 years!
For 10 wonderful years you warmed my heart and filled our home with joy and happiness and made every day special.
The love that you filled my heart with was unconditional. I looked forward to coming home and having you greet me at the door every night, you eased the stress of the day away as you licked my hand and looked up at me with your love filled eyes that said it will all be OK!
I will miss you laying your beautiful head in my lap and looking up at me with your big brown eyes, just melting my heart away. No matter what I was doing, I would hug you and you would nuzzle me and life would be stress less and warm for at least that moment no matter what else was going on.
I will remember and cherish our play times, as you tried to push your brother away to get to me and would send him off with a low growl, so that you could have me all to your self.
I will never forget how you enjoyed a back rub, which would make you kick your leg in enjoyment and
would have you smiling.
I am filled with grief and mourning, but I do realize that what lies ahead in the Radiance is not the lack of life but Life itself! Not the end, but the beginning! It is not the end of our relationship, only an Interruption. Today’s sorrow filled goodbye in this place will
be followed by delightful barking and tail wagging in another.
Shakka, you will be in my heart forever and the hole that you have left in my grieving heart will never be filled, I will think of you in everything that I do
As I wipe the tears away and try to hold back, as I try to make sense of your sudden and unfair departure and as I try to deal with the inconsolable sadness, I know I will see you one day, my little girl….and I look forward to the day that I can hold you in my arms once more…and be able to call you daddy’s girl again…
My beloved Shakka,
