What I Should Have Said
by Katie D.........................................
Dear Bear,
I love you. I miss you. I remember you. I cry for you, even though I try to be happy that you are now in the best place there ever could be. I had forgotten that you are an angel of heaven, never to be kept on earth but only here for a short time. I had forgotten that someday my teddy bear, my baby boy would leave me all alone. Bear, we all miss you. You brother Blackie misses you, too, I know he does. I think he can still feel you. I know I still feel you. Feel free to visit anytime. I know we'll meet again and yet I miss you more then words can say. I will always miss you. You can never be replaced and it seems like I can never love anybody more. At least I have Blackie to hug, love, and cry with. We all cry for you, Bear. You have been loved since that first day you came into our arms to the moment they carried you off to the vet. We all know how hard you tried. You were only seven - I didn't think you could die so young. You were so healthy, so young, so strong. I don't think even you knew. I just hope you knew how much we all loved you. My one consolation is that we could not have loved you more then we did. I miss the way you would paw at us when you wanted your head scratched. I miss the way you would crawl into my bed and lie on the pillow on stormy nights. I miss the nights when i curl up on the floor next to you. I miss you. I love you. You were born os perfect, innocent - a complete angel. That is the way you died - you never did wrong, and when you did it was only through ignorance. I could never stay mad at you - your sad eyes would say "i love you, don't be mad" and i would say "i love you, i'm not mad". When I let Blackie out I always think you'll come inside with him, when I feed him I accidently will put food in your bowl. Bear, we all miss you so much. My heart is breaking. I am fourteen years old and I know someday we will meet again - with tears, smiles, laughs and joy, but for now I can only feel the pain and emptiness that you left in our lives. Whether I leave this world young or old I know that the love I feel for you in my heart right now will not change. Bear, you are my baby. Bear, my boy. Bear, I miss you. There is so much I should have told you. I love you more then words can say and miss you more then I have the power to tell. Bear, you are one of the bst things that ever happened to me and its hard to think that I will have to face the rest of my life without you there beside me. You've been there for me and in a way I know you still are. You are in God's arms now, but selfish as I am I just wish you were in mine instead. Be happy, play - but, I hope you will find it to miss me a little. Goodness knows I miss you. Bear, baby you will never leave us. Until we meet again.
All the love I have to give,
Katie
