Your Pet Loss Diaries

Dear Charlie,

It has been 44 days since you and Leya took our beloved Bud into your arms and gently guided him to the Bridge. And it was one of the saddest day of my life; the sorrow so great, I still don't know how I am going to go. Maybe I will be able to, with your so powerful love and guidance.
I know three of you are watching over your Moms, ever so loving and faithful. That gives me a huge comfort, but doesn't lessen the pain. I think of you and miss you so much, my child, my angel, my protector and forever friend, Charlie.

I still have not written a tribute to Bud. He has done so much for me, especially after your passing, of course you knew all that. He was such a trooper during his illnesses, most dignified I've ever seen, just like you. And, Duke is acting and looking just like you two--so brave, and yet so low-profiled. He misses you very much, it certainly shows. Our once-big family is shrinking so rapidly, it scares me. I think I am so used to having you and Bud with me for years, I feel lost forever.

I haven't seen you in my dreams in a while. Bud has not yet come in my dreams, not just yet, but I hope real soon. It will make me feel better and I will pray that I get to see you.

In the meantime, I hope you, Bud and Leya have wonderful time wherever you might be. And, would you give Bud extra love--he had to work so hard being that brave on earth, and it breaks my heart.

Love and miss you forever. Mom
