To my Morgan, On the day you were born, August 10, 2002, you made a little trouble, but I knew that you were ment to be a special friend.
Morgan, you almost died that day, but you made it. It showed me just how tough you were! I brought you home at 5 weeks (I just couldn’t bear not having you with me!), and swore no dogs in my bed! Guess what…..I couldn’t take it (even though you made no crying or whinning to convince me!) and from that first night on you were right there curled up in the bend of my knee giving me the love and reassurance no-one else could. You were there for me when people that I thought would never walk away from me did. You gave me love when no-one would, and you never demanded a thing. I am so sorrowful that you were taken. So abruptly, so cruel and painfilled. I know you are okay though. You have all the snacks you want, no pain and no worries about when you can go out! No more rain that you hated so badly and the freedom to play and frolick with no fear of being attacked.
I will always remember the good times – the fun times…your first picnic, those trips to the pet store, you going on the truck with us (OH, how you loved that!) you making big ‘ole Berry Johnson (who did not like animals) fall in love with you, playing in the snow (looking like a snow plow!), loving to be rubbed, petted and scratched. But most of all, my little Friend, I will ALWAYS remember the joy, love and comfort you brought into my life. You were and are so loved.
I am sorry that I didn’t get to you sooner that awful day. I am so sorry that those aweful dogs inflicted the pain and trauma to you that your little body just couldn’t handle and I am so sorry that I could not take your pain away. Please forgive me, and don’t ever think for a moment that I will ever forget you. I know it has just been a little less than a month, but I still cry for you. I still hurt for you and I will never forget how much you loved me! I know in my heart that the day you were taken from us you thought you were protecting us from those mean dogs, but I should have been there to protect you. So brave, so full of heart,
My Captian Morgan.
I miss you Little Buddy – my heart breaks every morning when I reach for you and you are not there. When I go to bed at night I miss your warmth and the assurance that you were there with me.
Please know I am sorry that I couldn’t save and protect you and know that I will always love you with all my heart. I never knew that something so small and fuzzy could have such an impact on my life! I knew one day I would have to let you go, but I never dreamed that it would be from an attack in your own yard.
Thank you for being my confidant, friend and soulmate for the last 5 years. YOU were the BEST friend I have ever had. You did not demand or expect anything. You just wanted to be loved (which you were!!!!) and you gave your love to me unconditionally. I will be forever grateful that you were brought into my life, and forever sorrowful that you were taken so abruptly and with no warning.
Please forgive me for letting you down…….
Forever in my heart,
