Your heart has ceased it's labor,
Your tired body at rest,
You'll never be forgotten,
By those who loved you best.
Over these past few months,
I slowly watched you fail;
Sad, rundown and tiring,
You seemed at last so frail.
It was I, who always urged you
To buck up and carry on,
Until finally I realized
Your strength for life was gone
There was a time I'd promised
I'd never let you suffer,
To trust in me to know
When your time at last was over.
I'm trying hard to be brave,
Without you to hold tight,
I've made it through today
But I'll be missing you tonight.
The house now feels so empty,
Without you by my side;
My heart it aches so deeply
My tears... can't all be cried.
And God in all his wisdom,
Must surely have a place;
To harbor your sweet spirit,
While I finish out my race.
Though you've gone on ahead,
We will surely meet again;
Till then I have the memories...
Goodbye, my faithful friend.
On May 16th, 2005 I realized the distress
my 14 year companion, Petey was in. An emergency
trip to the vet confirmed he had fluid on his lungs,
and was going into heart failure.
Deciding to end his suffering, was one of the most
difficult decisions I have ever made in my life.
His last moments were spent affectionately licking
my face as I said Good-bye to my loyal friend.
Mommy loves you forever, devoted companion.
Wait for me, Petey... on Rainbow Bridge.
I'll be meeting you there soon.
