Your Pet Loss Diaries

Leya, my precious girl,

The Christmas holidays are finally over, my first since losing you. It was so difficult to do all I had to do. Just going through the motions but not feeling any happiness. How could I when you weren't with me. A new year has started and still I feel like the sadness will be with me forever.

A strange thing has happened and I need to tell you about it. Amanda was taking her puppy to see a pet communicator and I went with them. Aunt Karen was there with her 2 pugs, remember, they were at your birthday party. When it was our turn, the pet communicator asked me if I had a dog that recently died. I told her yes, and I guess she could see I was upset. She didn't say anything else and I thought it a bit strange but just let it go.

The next day, Aunt Karen came to see me and told me that after I left, the pet communicator told her that when I walked into the room where she was doing the pet communications, she could see a large dog walking in with me (meaning a spirit dog). She didn't tell me because she thought it would upset me. Karen told me because she thought it would make me feel better.

Are you with me Leya? I can't see you. I have hoped for you to come to me in a dream but so far you haven't. I don't know why. If you are with me, am I holding you here because I can't let you go. I want you to be happy and at peace. You were the only one who made me feel loved and needed. You were the only one to show happiness when I would come in after work. No matter what, you were there to make me feel like together we could handle anything life threw at us. Now, without you, I don't believe any more that things will be ok. I know you didn't want to leave. Please forgive me for not being able to save you, the way you saved me so many times.

I held your picture on New Year's Eve so that I started the new year as close to you as possible. It wasn't the same as other years when I held you, but it was all I could do.

As always Leya, you are in my heart forever...

Love Mommy
