The final goodbye

 

It's hard to say goodbye.  

I was almost 18.  

Today, I told you I was ready.  Last night, I struggled to breathe.  I cried out, letting you know I was hurting, and you both tried to comfort me.  You did well.  While my pain never really went away, every time I cried, I tried to walk to you and you picked me up to situate me again.  

Mommy, I smelled you.  You laid your head on me at the vet and I could feel your tears.  Daddy, I felt you telling the small humans to say goodbye and I felt your touch as you told me to rest as well.  

I love you both.  I will miss you.  I am so happy to see Pene, Bella, TB, Winnie, and Saydie in doggie heaven.  But, I will miss you so much.  Thank you for the final pets and cuddles and trying to comfort me.  I'm home now - and I'm at peace. 

Love,

Abbie, the favored.
