A Letter To my Angel in Heaven........
My Dearest "Abbygirl"
Today was a day that I had been dreading. Knowing someday soon you would leave us. Never expecting it to come so fast. Our house is so empty now without you my litte Princess. The last hours we spend together we reconfirmed our love for each other over and over. I cried and held you, sang your favorite song, thanked you for allowing Truman into our home and told you we loved you very much and how much you had meant to all us us ~ that you would never be forgotten, never leave our hearts. You lay in my arms and licked my fingers and gave me kisses. Beauty, grace, dignity and love right to the end. I had to let you go in peace before the pain took over your body, you understood and you were ready to take your leave from this world. Holding you, crying and shaking, I did the one last thing I could for you. You lay in my arms as my head lay on yours. I embraced your body and felt you go. Today we spent a lot of time remembering you, as we will for the rest of our lives. Looking at photos, seeing you where you would normally be. You live on my dear Abby. I thank you for everyday that you graced our lives. You brought happiness to our family, we have no rgrests just beautiful memories of the time spent with you. The Road Trips we took together will always be remembered & treasured..........from Campbell River, BC salmon fishing to our across Canada trip this past summer back to Ontario. I am glad you got to go back to where your life began. Did you konw when you came to me you would become a child to me but much more than that my Best Friend? You knew the true meaning of life,lived it to the fullest. You knew humor, how to play and tease. You had your own way to make us laugh. Did you plan to take a piece of my heart, make it yours? I think you did and I willingly gave it to you. You were the cutest puppy. DId you know how much comfort you brought me through the years of stuggle? I think so, becuase you were always there for me, consoling me in my times of distress. You knew when I needed you close.I know you have not left me ~ I feel your presence and it is the strength I need to carry on. I am so thankful you shared your life with me.I am sorry there was nothing I could do to prolong our life together ~ I thought we would have had so many more years. We were together until the end. I know you will remember my last words to you... Abby there will always be an emptiness in my heart! Now go and play with your brother "Mushie" as he is waiting and loves you too. Take care of him as you have me. We will be together again, our love will carry on. Abby this is not good bye.......but just a slight separation until we meet again. Your courage and strength will always be an inspiration to me. Your Mommy and Daddy miss you so very much. You are always in our hearts, thought of and loved every day. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our memories.........Gone from our touch, but never from our hearts!
Someday our tears will fall less frequent, but the pain of losing you will neve go away. Abby wait for me at Rainbow Bridge and let me hear your bark the first thing when I pass over my Precious Little Angel.
All My Love
Mommy "Susann"
