Scout,
It has been seven month’s since I held you in my arms. It is so unfair to lose an animal like you. I love you so much. I am afraid that moving on has been impossible. Some days I think that I am doing well, most days I miss you so much that it feels my heart will forever be torn in half. You are the best friend I have ever known. I know you suffered so before I could bring myself to help you on your way to heaven. I could not bear a life without you and now I am alone. The other ferrets have tried so hard to cheer me up and I love them all so dearly, but I can’t seem to move on without you. They say that time heals all wounds but I do not see
a bright lining in the future.
Thank you for all of the times you stood by me and cheered me up when life got hard. We have been through so much together and I will remember you forever. I know that you are having fun playing with Abby, Smokey, and Jordan. You can frolic all you want now without your heart giving out on you. I know it is said often, but it is so true: pieces of my heart have followed you to Rainbow bridge and a part of me has died that will never regain life.
I believe that each living thing on earth touches many lives and each person is forever changed by this contact. You changed my life forever. You have been the best little animal I could have ever wanted and you deserve to rest now. Go and play and eat all of those treats that you so loved.
You will not suffer anymore. I love you,
you will always be in my heart.
Goodbye my friend,
| Scout |
