DINKY
1987 – March 17 2001
As I look out the window it seems like a normal day. The cars passing by a nice breeze the smell of spring is in the air and pink and white blossoms are on the trees. How can anyone have a care in the world on a day like today? But for me it is a very sad day. The Angels came for you.
You were such a tiny creature when you came into our life 14 years ago. Time passed by much to quickly. I can’t remember when you weren’t there. When you looked at me there was so much love in your eyes. Even at the end that love would shine through the pain. Your favorite place was on my pillow at night or by my side. You would rub your little face on my hand or run from side to side across the pillow. Always by me when I was doing my make up or sitting behind me when doing my hair or following me into the bathroom where we had a routine every morning. Not to mention your new discovery…the bathtub. I know it broke your heart knowing you were leaving me as it broke mine. It saddens me to know you will never feel the warmth of the sun on your little face or the soft breeze against your fur or the quietness of the night. I know I must say goodbye but it is hard for me to let go. I will miss you staring at me and waiting for me to ask that question….”what?” That was your cue to prance around and wait for me to say “Dink a Dink.” You always watched my every move. My heart is broken. I just can’t believe that you are gone. I have an empty sickness in my stomach. I want to tell you how very much I love you but I guess you already know that. Waiting for Death to come and take you seemed like an eternity. I prayed it would be soon yet I had hoped against hope that it would not happen. I prayed for a miracle but the miracle never came. Please forgive me for not being here when you took your last breath of life. But your Dad was with you when your time came and he loved you very much too. I look at you lying so still and peaceful on my bed. I call your name but your do not look up. I kiss your face and look into your eyes and see emptiness. A part of me died with you. For you my beloved Dink have found peace and crossed over to where the wood vine twineth and spirits run free. You will be with us always.
