Gizmo I hope you knew just how much I loved you.
I think of the nights when I sat up with you with a vaporizer &
a towel over our heads when you couldn’t breath because of your bad sinuses.
When you had your seizures I would hold & rub you &
tell you how much I loved you until you came out of it.
When your little knees got bad I would carry you up & down the steps
when you wanted to go out.
Last year when the vet found your heart murmur I came home & cried.
I would always put your 2 heart pills in a chicken breast with no salt &
always made sure your supper was fixed before mine.
Nighttime is the hardest because your little warm body
was always next to mine when I went to bed.
I thank you for the 9 years we had together
but I wish it had been more.
I wish I had gotten home in time before you passed
so I could have told you good-bye
but I’m glad your daddy was with you.
I’ll always remember you.
When I get to heaven I know you will be there waiting for me
because there is no sadness in heaven &
I would be sad without you there.
Sleep in peace & mommy will see you again.
I love you.
Teresa
