Valentine was my best friend. I remember the day he came home with me, he was a little puppy. I will always remember the day we said good-bye almost 14 years later. 3-25-03. I hope I will see him again someday. He was always there for me, good days and bad. He loved me unconditionally. Everytime I’d cry, he would sit on my lap, look at me and comfort me. I only have his memories to comfort me now. I loved him with all my heart and I will love him for the rest of my days. I hope I gave him a good life, the best he could have had. I wish I could do more. I wish I could hold him again. I miss him so much.
The house was quiet this morning.
My best friend was not at my feet.
I had to let you go yesterday.
It was your time.
I hope I didn’t let you down.
I hope I picked the right day.
Should I have given us more time?
Another summer?
Another day?
I was the one you trusted and loved.
I loved you and had to let you go.
I’m sorry my sweet baby boy.
I will miss you for the rest of my days.
For the rest of my life.
You will always be in my heart.
I miss you, my best friend,
My Valentine.
Valentine, with all my love,
