Corona, Misses Wigglesworth
by Kristen Harley
Corona, my little wiggle bum. She was the greatest gift I've ever received, and I'd give everything to have her back. Tragically, September 2, 1999, 25 days ago, you were stolen from me by some ignorant person's speeding vehicle, they didn't stop. I knew from the time you left this earth that you were gone, but I couldn't find you, I called, and called, but my heart knew, it had already shattered. I pleaded with God, please bring you home safe. You couldn't come, and God, I guess, couldn't bring you back to me. That day, my world caved in, you are my angel. I can remember every day of our 2 years 8 months together. Running through the snow with your "brother" Rocko, he misses you too. The happy wiggle you did when I'd come home from being out. The way you had to sleep under the covers at our feet and how you would wait until the last minute to get up in the morning, but always full of life and happiness. I don't think I realized how perfect my life was until you left it. I had so many dreams for us, I was planning your Christmas presents, you loved to get presents. I was thinking about how you would react to your new baby brother when he is born, and how lucky a little boy he would be to have such a wonderful, loving little dog. The world is a much lonelier and sadder place without your happy little boxer-beagle face smiling up at us, bringing us joy and making all bad things disappear. I look at your couch and wish you were still sitting up there on the arm, looking out the window into the fields. I go to the pet toy store to buy Rocko toys, but it's just not the same. I can't believe I have to live my life without you here, I don't know how, you were perfect, you made my life perfect. How can we say good bye, when we're not ready yet? Everyday when I wake up, I have to remind myself, you're gone. You can't come back. I miss you so much. The only thing that helps me now is the Rainbows Bridge poem, it is giving me hope that we will be together again, I wish it was soon. I'm sure you know, we adopted a puppy from the SPCA, I felt so bad doing that, I was yours and yours alone. "Layla" can never replace you, but we all needed something to hold, and so did she. Your cat, Peanut, comes and sits by you and Tiger, you are loved by all who ever met you. Our special little love puppy, beautiful little princess, I love you always. I'm sorry that I didn't call you in sooner. Please stay happy at the bridge, Tiger is there and so are the others you never met before, they will keep you company until I can be with you. I love you Misses Wigglesworth. Thank you for giving me the best 2 years of my life. Thank you Rainbows Bridge for giving me a place to come and grieve and feel that there is hope and the loved ones I miss at the end of this dark and dreary tunnel.
