Maggie

4 / 7 / 86

Terrier / beagle Mix

Twelve years ago this evening you left this world my sweet little girl.

You were so sick - and I was too young to stand up to Dad when

he secretly took you away - and left you at the vet's office

to be cremated.

I have re-lived that evening in my mind over and over and over.

I am now a young adult and my memories of you remain strong and

vivid my sweet Maggie. I am sorry I never got to say good-bye.

I am sorry I allowed you to be taken away all alone... by the one who

scared you most.

I love you Maggie - today and always. I will never forget growing up

with you... and tears will always fill my eyes as I remember the

long drawn-out suffering at the end of your life.

I am sorry I couldn't have done more for you at the time.

If only I could turn back the clock and relive that evening...

and be with you until the very end...
