Katie Rose,
How my heart breaks every morning when I wake up and know that you are not there to greet me. I try to give Jake, Guido, and Sweet Pea all the love I gave to you, but my heart is still broken and I know will always have a certain emptiness because you, my loving daughter,
are not here with me.
The decision to let you go was so hard even though you were in pain. I just hope that you did not suffer too much in the weeks before your entrance into Doggy Heaven.
My birthday was hollow this year, knowing that the following morning I would not be able to wish you a Happy 11th Birthday. I miss you so much.
I recently found the pictures of our first Christmas together and look at them often. This Christmas will be especially hard without you there.
Your constant companionship and love were some of the most wonderful blessings that I received in my life. Mom is still heartbroken at your passing, please visit her in her dreams and let her know that it is okay to love another doggie again. It hurts me to see her in such pain.
No words can describe you, my darling. You had a personality all your own and were the best pet that I’ve ever had. You trusted me completely to take care of you and love you. I hope I never disappointed you.
I could go on forever, but I just want you to know that I love you very much and will never, ever, forget you. I couldn’t bear to part with you so I brought your ashes home and put them in my computer room, where I see them everyday.
Please say Hi to Luke, Tasha, Jenny (Ginny as Mom spelled it), Fluffy, Babse, and Pixie for me up there. I can’t wait until the day I can be with all of you again.
Love,
