When someone’s pet dies, you try to put yourself in their place and can’t even begin to imagine the heartache they must feel. Now, I find myself in that terrible, lonely place and I feel like my heart and soul are buried with my beloved Mandy. Perhaps someone can let me know how much time will pass before I can go to bed and not cry
myself to sleep every night.
Mandy was my true companion and soulmate for nearly fifteen years. She was always the first to greet me at the door when I came home. When I went to bed at night, she always slept close by my side with her head on my shoulder and one paw resting on my chest. Her purring was the lullaby that always drew me into sleep. I feel so lost and alone without her. If I could turn back time, I’d try to find a way to stay with her in all the golden yesterdays we shared.
