My dearest Lily, never will there be a more gentle soul, such a gentle spirit, nor a brighter light in my heart. I am heartbroken without you. You appeared in my life suddenly, needing to be rescued and instead you rescued me. You brought light to the darkness that was my life; giving me gentle support, a reason to be awake and alive. A reason to be. Without your spirit I am returned to darkness. Unable to move forward. Paralyzed with grief. Your departure was so sudden. So unfair. So painful for you. Yet you continued to be strong for me. Until the very end. Still wagging your tail and jumping upon the bed to sleep one last night with me. And then you were gone. Just like that you were gone. Leaving me alone in the darkness with only the sound of my tears. My screaming for you inside my head. Where no one can hear me. No one can console me. I will never forget your limitless joy. Your patience with your grumpy golden sister Scout. Your patience with all people and animals alike. Never a stranger you met. Oh Lily! Where are you?? Please let me hold you one more time or feel your soft weight in my lap, hold your smiling face in my hands. If there is heaven; you are there. Another angel made too soon. Jeremy and I will be waiting for you. Forever.
