My Sorrow Will Slowly Be the Death of Me
Days come and days go and the only thing I know is how much I LOVE YOU Bo-
Be s t i l l my sweet boy, close your eyes and take one last breath, for I never
thought how painful it would be putting you to rest. I needed you back then
as you wiped away my tears, and now after six short years I shall take away
your pain and fears. I know SWEET BOY... you never got to say goodbye to Karen, for she left you without warning not even caring. How could she abandon you like a free eagle on its way knowing you would suffer in such a terrible way. But there I was your comfort, the one who held you tight. You came to me with such ease as I held you all night. I brought you home with me without a hesitant question and you have taught me so many loving and compassionate lessons.
WITHOUT YOU you in my arms I will never be the same and my heart will never stop saying your precious special name. In the darkness of shadows you were my light of my days, and a true family member in so many ways.
Be still and breathe once more MY love, in just a few seconds you’ll be with Karen above. She’s ready for you and waiting with open arms and tears, for she’s been waiting for your snuggles for so many years. When tomorrow comes and you’re not on my couch to snuggle, my heart will weep in SORROW and my pain will grow double. No time will ease the pain of losing a loved one so close to my heart, as I gently rub your ear and we slowly drift apart.
I will never be the same without your tender loving care and I WILL always look at your picture right next to your lazy chair. Sweet boy, as I whisper one last goodbye before you fade, I know deep down what a beautiful dog God has made. SLOWLY while I let go of your head and you say goodbye to me, I know deep down this pain will BE THE DEATH OF ME.
Love you baby Bo Bear
