Malachi by Christine / Mum

Thank you for staying and fighting so long to remain with us. You promised me, you wouldn’t leave until I was over the worst and you kept that promise. Thank you. We loved you so much and still do and desparately hope we did right by you in the last few days. We all tried so hard to be so brave didn’t we, you, Merv and I. Helped of course by Divinity. You of course were wonderful as always, so gentle, accepting and totally trusting in me. I’m sorry my darling boy I couldn’t do more. What a ‘journey’ we all chose together Malachi. Such a difficult journey at the end. But OUR journey nevertheless and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am so proud of you and thank you for choosing me as your owner. I am immensly honoured.

I miss you physically. I miss you sitting on my lap, leaning against me with all your weight. I miss your singing with the Zak and Bascombe, looking into your wondeful eyes and ‘knowing’. I miss hugging your huge warm body and giving you an ‘Ollie’ rub. Merv misses you so much too, especially sharing a swig of wine or beer with him secretly.
I’m sorry your Dad never saw you again. That will all be sorted one day and all will be well.

You only heard about the others from Zak and Mr B. I know you will find them and will be waiting for us all.

 

The affection I send forward with you Malachi, my precious, boy comes from the deepest seat of my soul and will travel with you until the end of time.
Malachi
