My Dearest Barney,
It has been almost two months since our last day together.
My heart is shattered and I just can't get over your not being here.
Please forgive me for putting you to sleep. The Dr. said it was
necessary as your kidneys were failing. Little did you know that
when we said "Barney want to go that it would be forever"
You stood so proudly on dads knee riding in the car with
the wind just a blowing on your face. I had to pull you away from
dad cause he was crying so hard. I asked the Dr. one last time if he
was absolutely sure that this was necessary. He said yes.
You got your first injection and you just cried out and tried to
get away but I held you oh so tight. You turned to me and
started to kiss me frantically until the medication relaxed you.
Then it was time. Barney I held you till the last little beat
of your heart. Please understand that if I didn't do this
you would have suffered terribly. Your ashes are over the
fireplace now in a beautifully engraved box with your last picture.
You will be placed with Mom and Dad when it is our time.
The kids have been given instructions. I have written this for
you and for me. Your suffering is over but mine is still here.
This is a place where I can go and look at you and
read what I have written. Perhaps this will help me with
losing you. I will await the day that you will be sitting at the big
door with your head cocked to one side and your tail wagging
ready to greet me.
Love Mom
Barney |
