There is a new, bright,and shinning star in the heavens. My Sweet Sue crossed over the Rainbow Bridge November 10, 2003 at 12:25 pm. She left this world hearing how much we loved her; what a good girl and such a pretty girl she was; how wonderful she was and how thankful to God we are for allowing us to have her as part of our family.
She was my “heart”.
I kept asking myself before today, “what will I do without my Sweetie”? To think I was so afraid that I couldn’t let her go. That by being upset and crying, I would upset her, and I didn’t want to do that. Where would I find the strength to do this? To participate in watching her leave? She gave me the answer in her eyes that last morning we shared together. She gave me her knowing and her strength that day.
It was such a peaceful, quiet and serene moment. In thinking I couldn’t bear to see her leave this world, I realized I couldn’t let our last moments together be spent apart. So, with comforting words, I cradled her in my arms and helped release her from the restraints this condition put on her, she gave me a another final gift. She gave me her peace. I felt a swelling in my chest as she left our world. There were no tears, just loving words, gentle touches and rubbing, and holding her close. She taught me. Love is the strongest of all emotions–and with it, we can do anything. Because I love you girl, I had to let you go. I know you are happy again and free to “low run and hop like a rabbit”, chase your tail, ball, and all your funny antics.
Love lasts an eternity and survives death.
In knowing that we are together still.
