My dearest girl,

I am writing this letter to you hoping you hear my thoughts as you run though the heavens with your plush toys and mounds of carrots. I miss you like I never thought I could miss anyone. I see you everywhere, I think of you all the time. I have never known a love like yours. You were sweet no matter what except, of course, when it came to your toys and Edi. I don’t blame you. My happiest moments would be coming home to see your face and have you greet me with a dance and a smile, but so ever hard to leave you as I could her your cry down the street. You suffered so much before I met you, and even as I knew you. You had strength to get through all the little ailments and surgeries’. You were so brave all the time.

I think you liked living out in the quiet country for a while, because I know you were so scared of cars and noises. The first day we got you out of the shelter when arriving at the vet all you wanted to do was hide under a car. Did you know that you were finally going to be safe and loved? I hope you know how you changed my life. How your hugs were so healing and your little kisses on my hand made me realize everything would always be ok. I never thought I would be without you, at least for a long time. Death is something I fear so greatly for my kids and yet it happened to you. I believe that you left for something better. I believe you are watching down on us, making sure we will be ok.

I still cry today and I still hurt. I will never forget you. Your spirit is always with me. I need it to be. There is a place in my heart where you rest now. I have to try and pull it together for the rest of the pack. We have a lot of things to do now. Somehow in the chaos of loss, I found something I had let go of. You helped me see what I need to do now. I am grateful to you, for you and because of you, I know true love. You stayed with me even though the pain was so great. I couldn’t let you hurt anymore. I know one day we will be together again, but until then, I know your spirit will always be with me. You are my angel, my sugar, and my never-forgotten love.

We love you and we miss you terribly. We will all be together again someday.
Terrah, Ansli, Conrad, Edi, Jack, Sally and Honey
