It’s been 2 and a half years since ‘my baby girl’ went to Heaven. Her death absolutely devastated myself and her Dad. We had to have her sent to Heaven as her system broke down. Polly was a diabetic for the last six months of her life. We had that under control, it was her system that broke down. She went blind but handled that beautifully. We made sure all our furniture was in the same places so she knew her way around.
We stayed with her while she was sent to Heaven, how could I not be there for her when she had been there for me all her 12 years. We had her cremated (we accompanied her there too) and she is still with us at home on her little table. We will never bury her.
Polly was the most gentlest, sweetest, ‘wouldn’t hurt a fly’ angel of a doggie anyone would ever want. There are so many little ‘things’ about her I could write but I would be here forever. We have her photos all over the house.
I have sunflowers next to her wooden box and whenever I am out and see sunflowers or even gerberas, I think of Polly all the time.
I wear little charms around my neck and on a charm bracelet in memory of Polly.
I doesn’t take much to make me shed tears for Polly. Even writing this has brought them on again.
Her brother Waffle was a great comfort to me after her passing. I explained to him what happened to Polly (he was there when she was sent to Heaven…..it was done at home). I am a firm believer in explaining to animals what is going on.
Polly, you know you will always be in my heart. You will never be forgotten. You(and Waffle) saw me through some very lonely years. It was the worst decision I had to make to send you to Heaven. It was kindest for you though, you didn’t have to suffer anymore. Keep sending me little messages from above ok. We will be together again one day and we can cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
Love and miss you forever,
