On May 3, 2002 I lost my beloved Tarbaby. I was devastated and heartbroken from grief. The love of my life, the one who was aways with me, my baby was gone and I was so lonely. I had him privately cremated, so in two weeks I journeyed back to the vets to pick him up once again. But this time there were no kisses, no barking, no tail wagging; just a wooden box with a statue of a black Pomeranian on top and his name engraved in brass on the side. I cried all the way home.
Around Memorial Day last year, I was on the internet and decided to see if I could find a website for pets. I keyed in pets and found many websites for pets. But I found a website for people with pets that had passed on. My salvation, I found In Memory of Pets. I was overwhelmed and relieved to know that I wasn’t the only person in this world that felt so empty, so sad. I posted a message and received emails of sympathy and support. All the wonderful, caring people, especially Carole Miller and John Mingo, helped me get through this difficult journey. Their kind words comforted me. I finally had peace of mind, knowing that Tarbaby was in good hands, happy and pain free. And that his unconditional love would always stay in my heart forever.
I also met another special person, Leonard Fisk, he lives way far away from me in North Dakota. What a special person he is, so kind and caring. He has Pet Cemetery and dedicated it to John Mingo for all the wonderful work he has done. He is putting a cross in the Pet cemetery for my beloved Tarbaby.
These wonderful people, along with many others, helped me get through this very difficult time in my life. To all of you, I send you my gratitude and thanks. I love you and so does Tarbaby.
So everytime I see a rose bud, I cut it, put it in a vase and set it beside my babys memorial. Because the next day, the tiny rose bud has opened up into a beautiful rose and I know the unconditional love that Tarbaby had for me keeps blooming and his spirit lives on forever.
My Love For You,
(((Tarbaby))), Will Never Die.
