A letter to Leah (untitled)
(picture a 90 pound chocolate Labrador, female,)
To my devoted and loving companion Leah.
When you came into my life I was burdened.
When you left my life I was broken.
I am overwhelmed now with sorrow and loneliness,
And cannot bear the thought of living life without you.
However, as I do, you will live on forever within me.
As I learned from you the satisfaction of having such a
devoted,forgiving, loyal and supportive friend that
shared continuous unconditional love.
The wound created in me by your loss is to large to heal.
I will try packing it full of our loving memories together.
It is true that dog is mans best friend.
And I am sure that I will see you on the other side.
Because of your love for me, which has contributed to me
"being". I have concluded that God must have a dog, and
has made room for plenty more.
Until I see you again,
Please, Sit, Stay, Be a good girl.
I LOVE YOU !
Pat.

Commiserations - such a tribulation of loss - so reminds me of Grays Elegy - and the tolling of memorial sentences.
Seize on the precious times with which to hang your thoughts.
Dogs must surely qualify for the after life - I'd hate it if were not so.
Blessings.
