Saleen, you have changed my life forever. I feel as though I have lost a child, and in some ways I have.
You entered my life in Dec `95 dressed in a Santa suit. From that moment you stole my heart. The two of us were virtually inseparable for 7 years. I tried to include you in anything I did. At times that would get Momma upset, but she understood our bond and reluctantly accepted it.
I will miss our rides in the car together, the way you used to bark with your racket ball still in your mouth. How you would love to get a “new chewie” from the cupboard and your ways of getting me to give in and give you treats. Riding on the lawn mower with me is one even
the neighbors won’t forget.
Things are not the same without you here.
I hope and pray you understand that what I did for you was in the name of Love. I could no longer stand to see you sit and tremble in pain. And even though your pain is gone, the pain I feel will not go away. I miss you like nothing ever before. The security of you being by my side is a feeling I cannot get over. Your undying love and affection will live with me forever.
The house is silent. I feel an emptiness I cannot explain. I want so much to be with you again, but I cannot leave everyone behind until my time comes. Please wait for me near the Rainbow Bridge. I will call for you when my time here is through. And we will be together again.
Daddy loves you so much.
