May 21, 2007…To my beautiful “Labrador Angel” Ebony. Look at that pretty face…always smiling. You were always so photogenic weren’t you? It is one month ago today that you went to eternal sleep…it seems like yesterday. I’d give anything to hold you close to me one more time pretty girl. You are embedded in my thoughts every waking hour of every day. I know you are happy and free of pain now, but not a day goes by that I don’t miss everything about you with every grain of my soul. I know this grief will lesson as time passes, and I also know it will take such a very long time. So for now my sweet girl it hurts worse than I ever thought possible. Oh how deeply I love you. The precious memories of you will forever be at the forefront of my thoughts, and will forever flood my soul.
When I picked up your cremains on May 3rd, I was hoping I would find some kind of closure. Well my baby girl, I didn’t. It just reminded me more that very moment that you were really gone. I took you to the little chapel in the cemetery, and we sat together on a bench under a beautiful tree. I held you against my heart and prayed for you while I had your private memorial service. It was a beautiful day, and we were in a very peaceful place, alone…just you and I. Oh I cried so hard Ebony…it took my breath away…just like the day you went to heaven.
Thank you for staying by my side through all those tough times we went through together. I will always cherish and honor you for that. I thank you deeply girl. I don’t know what I ever would have done without the joy of having you in my life. You taught me so much about the unconditional love that no one else has been able given me. I love you more than I will ever be able to express, and there are no words that can describe how special the bond was between us. You are a very special dog, and a better person than any human I have ever met. I miss those cute smiles, your beautiful brown eyes, your soft fur, your doggie talk and the days we shared at the park. I have your pictures everywhere…at work…in my car on the dash…at home…I just need you near me all the time because you comfort me. You were an angel on this earth and now you are dancing with the angels in heaven. Dogs do have souls. It says in the Bible that “we all have the same breath” and man has no advantage over the animal. ALL Gods creatures go to the same place. ALL flesh shall see the Salvation of God. The earnest expectation of the creature awaits for the manifestation of the sons of God, and the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage and corruption of this earth into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of God.
I will NEVER STOP LOVING YOU and I miss you with every breath I take. The pain of losing you is almost unbearable. I truly wish we could have been together forever. Thank God one day we will. Loving you was the most perfect love…one I’ve never experienced with a human being. You are worthy of eternal honor and praise my precious girl. I thank my God for every moment I get to remember you.
Until one has truly loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawakened. When our pets go it DOES NOT mean we have to let go, and I never will let go of you, nor will I be satisfied until I have you back in my arms again. When your eyes closed for the last time, a part of me died with you. My love for you was so intense I would have died for you. Until we are reunited my sweet girl…you will remain in the depths of my soul forever. Although you are in the arms of the angels far away from here…I will always feel you near.
I know my dear there will be no more tears in heaven.
