Tango by Jesus & Nancy Aguirre / Mommy, Daddy, Maya, Chloe & Aikin

My little Tango – You were such a little Peanut – my little baby. You were here for such a short time and fought so hard even though you never really felt good. God finally made you an angel and took all your pain away. We fostered you when you got sick, knowing that you may not be with us long. We fell in love with you and had to make you ours. We wanted you to have a home, a family and love for as long as you could be with us. You only belonged to us for 2 weeks before you died. You died on the operating table while the doctors were trying to find out what was wrong inside that little belly of yours. Nobody wanted me to see you all hooked up to those tubes and wires, but I had to.

I was your Mommy and I had to say good-bye while your heart was still beating. It stopped 3 times and the doctors revived you but it had stopped for too long and you didn’t get enough air to your brain. I kissed you and held your tiny little paw and told you how much joy you had given to our family. I am going to miss carrying you around
like a baby all the time.

I am going to miss your snuggling up under my neck while I take my bath at night. I am going to miss saying: “You tell ’em, Tango” when you scream for something you want. I am going to miss you sleeping in my arms. I am going to miss sitting on the chair outside with you while you watch the hummingbirds drink from our feeder. You see, Tango – in such a short amount of time you gave me so much happiness and I only hope I gave you the best life you could ever have had. Mr. Wango Tango – my forever baby. My forever Little Peanut.

You never did get a chance to grow up into that big coconut. The Rainbow Bridge is all yours, baby. Run free and without pain. Mommy and Daddy love you. Maya, Chloe and Aikin love you too. Someday we’ll all be together again. But you will always be in my heart and in every breath I take. For now and forever. I always told you I’d be there for you “For as long as you need me”. I guess you don’t need me anymore – you have God and he will take care of you until Mommy comes to take you back again. Wait for me, baby…

 

All our love forever...
Tango
