My dearest Little Chessie,
You were so small and shy but you loved me and oh how I loved you. I remember all the times when your little tail would swish in delight as you chased your string or batted you toys around. Your cute face always looked so happy when you ran up to me because mom was the most important thing in your world. The night you died was
so hard for me to bear.
Even though I’d taken you to the vet, your lungs were still so congested and I was broken and devasted beyond measure when you died in my arms, gasping for air. I thank the Good Lord that as soon as I prayed for God to stop your misery you gently breathed one last breath; and as your little heart stopped, your sweet spirit was set free. Losing you was one of the hardest things I have ever experienced and I still look at your picture, my tiny girl, and cry.
I wish we had been able to have many more years to be together, but I cherished the few that we did have. I know you are in a better place with God and that I will see you again. Until that day remember how much your mom loves and misses you. Frolic in the meadows of heaven, my little one, and know that mom will join you someday.
I will always love and remember you.
