06/04/2013. Dear Murphy, it has been a month since we had to say goodbye. I would have written this then, but I'm finding it especially difficult to cope with your loss. How could it be easy? It's been you and me for over 15 years, many of which we had only each other to keep company. You were always there for me, keeping me sane during my ups and downs. When we were first introduced, I was in a bad place. You literally saved me, without ever realizing you had done so. But that was just your way, comforting me daily, watching me with only adoring eyes, and listening to my problems with non-judgmental ears. I am still amazed at just how much of an impact one loving creature had on my life. I want you to know that the decision to let you go was the hardest I've ever had to make, and that day we said goodbye was the worst day of my life thus far. But I know it was right to end your pain. I owed you that much after all you've done for me over the years. I will endure the heartache so that you can be at peace. I miss you so much though. The apartment and my heart are empty. There are nights when I wake up and swear that I can still feel you lying next to me in bed, or when I can hear you breathing in your sleep. It takes me a few seconds to remember that you are not there, and it makes me sad. But then I think about you now and how you are happy and healthy, running around, chasing soccer balls or swimming gingerly in the lake, and this makes me smile. I hope that by now you have found your friend, and fellow soccer player, Snoopy, and you two are having a blast, passing the time away until we meet again. I will look for you, although I believe you will already be there waiting. You are and always will be in my heart. I love you so much, my sweet baby. -Mommy ***06/04/2019. I can't believe it's been six years since you crossed the bridge. I know I haven't been writing on here over the years, but that doesn't mean I don't think about you everyday. I do. Every.single.day. I guess it's still too painful. I have adopted a new fur baby. His name is Argos, and he's a border collie mix. You'd like him. He's very sweet, just like you. I am dreading the day he leaves me, and I hope it won't be for a very long time. I know once he does though, you will be there to greet him happily and playfully:) I love you so much, my sweet puppy. -Mommie
