FRISKY,
My eyes now fill with tears, sadness, and relief. Tears because you are no longer sitting beside me. Sadness because I cannot hug you one more time. Relief because I know we have helped you enjoy life again.
Someone told me that love is about knowing when to let go. I hope you know the genuine reasoning as to why we did so. FRYNIA, we loved you too much (we still do) to let you suffer. The look in your eyes told us you were hurting. We had to let you go…I know. But in our hearts, you shall always stay.
You were the light of my life from the day you stepped into my life 10 years ago. I still remember the day we adopted you. I remember that day like it was yesterday…
The house is such a lonely place without you. I miss your sweet, smiling face greeting me with such a joy. I miss you bringing me a toy when I come home. I miss you stuffing your face in the grocery bags. I miss you sitting by the table and begging for food. I miss you in every way…
You were there for me when I thought no one else was. You listened without judgment. The look in your eyes soothed my pain. You gave unconditional love, asking for nothing in return. I miss you and will be forever grateful for the love and patience you gave.
The night you passed on, my mom (your pancia Zosia) had a dream. She dreamed about you standing on top of a hill. It was sunset and in the sky was present a beautiful reddish sun slowly beginning to disappear below the horizon. As your pancia described – “The scenery was as beautiful as in the most beautiful painting”. You were patiently standing on top of that hill and happily wagging your tail. You kept staring with your big brown eyes… They say that God reveals at sunset the grandeur of his throne. I am sure you are in heaven now FRYNIA, a part of heaven called the Rainbow Bridge, eating anything you want and barking at anything that runs.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. Thank you for the ten wonderful years we’ve spent together. Please, know that you have touched many people’s lives in your many years with us. I know someday we shall meet again. Until then, know that I will always be thinking of you…
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
With Love,
