My dearest sweet adorable Shirley, oh how I miss you, it has only been a week since we said our goodbyes. They say that the yellow color of a rose means friendship, but my love for you goes way beyond that, you were my baby, my little girl. You gave so much and took so much that what happened to you last week was unforgiveable. I believe in my heart you’d still be here with us if I could have only found a Vet that would listen, you didn’t have to die this way. My grief is just horrendous and some days I don’t know how I ever make it. Whereever you are, I beg your forgiveness in having to do what I did, my heart was so broken, I loved you so very much.
Shirley, I hope that your poor little body has been restored, that you are no longer in pain, that you have all the pillows you could ever hope for to lie upon. May you have all the ice cold water that you loved so much, the pizza and spaghetti you couldn’t wait to taste.
I miss holding you, having you sit with me, sleep with me, the car rides and walks.
Until we meet again, please wait for me if you can’t find your way home because I will be looking for you. My tears of sorrow are unbearable, I want you home with us you sweet little thing, our baby girl.
Please find your way home, we are waiting for you
