Priscilla you meant the world to me.

I loved you so much and I tried to take good care of you.

I am so sorry if I gave up on you too soon. I certainly did not want to do it.

I only wanted you to stop feeling bad.

I looked at your little body and saw how much weight you had lost.

I saw how weak you were and how hard you tried to overcome the

disease because I begged you to do it for me.

Then I started thinking how selfish I was asking you to stay longer

just so I would not hurt. You depended on me and I had to be strong for you

and do the right thing. I thought you might get better for awhile but at what price.

Would you have to suffer more would the good days make up for the

bad ones could I watch you lose more weight and become weaker?

I did not know what to do. I thought to myself I have to do what is loving,

I have to think of Priscilla and not myself. I wanted so much to keep you.

I wanted to run with you in my arms away from the doctor but I made

myself stay. I told myself I was doing it for you.

Please forgive me if I gave up too soon please forgive me if it was

not your time and you wanted to stay longer.

I thought you were trying so hard because I had begged you to stay with me.

I was afraid that I had asked too much of you.

You are my cocker angel my little girl my friend and my companion.

You were such a large part of my world and now you are gone.

I hurt so much for you. I miss you so much and I do not know how I will go

on without you being a part of my life.

If only I would have done something different you might be here today

loving on me instead of tears rolling down my cheeks.

I am sorry if I failed you.

Please forgive me and know that I loved you more than

anything and I miss you so much.

Mommy
