I’m sorry it took me so long to write this Sarah. It’s been almost 2 months and I guess we’re not done grieving yet. I have shed so many tears and I’m sure there’s more to come. Tears of love and of missing you.
We loved and still love you with all our hearts. I think we both knew it was time for you to leave us. You were in so much pain. You will always be our “baby doll” and you will always be “the greatest.” Even though it’s been almost 2 months people that I don’t even know stop to ask me where you are. You touched more lives than just mine and Cheryl’s.
By now you know Mickey and other pet/friends that I/we’ve been blessed to know. I’m sure they were there to meet you. We WILL see all of you again. I promise. But there is one special place in our hearts that will always be yours.
I can’t thank you enough for all of your loyalty, friendship, love, and devotion that you gave to us. We always did what we thought was best for you Sarah…..right through to the end. I held you until you “fell asleep” because I wanted to make sure you knew how much you were loved and that it was going to be ok. Having you as a friend all these years will make me a little bit less afraid when my time to leave this world comes because I know I will see you again and we’ll be able to run and play together.
And yes, there will probably be another dog in the future but not for awhile yet and if there is, he/she is not your replacement. You will never be replaced. Thank you for helping us to discover a whole new part of our hearts that we can love with. God Bless and keep you Sarah.
Thank you for being our friend.
Love,
Mark and Cheryl
