life
is so fucking unfair.
the past few weeks have seemed to be trying times. i found out about a very dear friend's unexpected passing that has felt like a ton of bricks was dropped on me. i still struggle knowing that they aren't here, that it wasn't their time to go and i feel like something happened along the way. i know he wouldn't have wanted me ( Read more... )

It sucks so, so hard. But when I saw her Saturday night...she wasn't the same Abby that she had always been and I realized that she was in pain. So Sunday when I found out that my parents had put her down I realized that it was for the best. More than anything I'm sad for myself because now my life is without her - and because she fought until the end but sadly it wasn't enough.
I cry. Often. I also write. I'm probably the type of person who should not own pets because I get too attached to them.
I also haven't ever been through this until I hit my twenties. My grandpa passed away when I was 23 and now my dog and various friends at 23 and 24. It's definitely not the same mentality as when I was 9.
I wish you the best with your kitty; I know its so hard but it's the one thing that we can offer them.
My sweet girl...thank you so much for your kind words.
I know this is about a dog.. but I'm sure you will get the idea.
Saying Goodbye...
You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.
That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner till the end.
Please, understand just what this gift
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.
And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once again.
