Mornings are so tough for me now that you are gone Abby. You were my purpose for getting up and starting my day. When I open my eyes in the morning now and I don't see you sleeping on the bed my heart sinks and I don't know what to do with myself.

It will be a week today and it seems likes years since you have been gone. I keep doing the what if's and wonder if there was something else I could have done to make you more comfortable so you could stay with me longer, but I know in my heart as hard as it is you had to leave me and go to a better place.

You brought us such comfort and joy and I wanted that to last forever, but that is not reality. I have such guilt and wondered if I had given you another day you would be better, but your good days were dwindling and the bad days were starting to take over. You were still so strong, but there was no cure for your ailing hind quarters and your incontinence which seemed to embarrass you and make you sad.

I miss taking care of you Boo and I don't think anything will ever fill the big hole in my heart that you have left.

I will miss you forever dear Abby and I can't wait until we can be together again. Sweet dreams Abbers!
