My Darling Casey Bear, As I sit here alone, I remember all the times you sat with me. I remember the sweet puppy kisses, and holding your sweet fluffy little body close to my heart. You were the sweetest baby. Then there was the time you bit into an electrical wire, and something told me to look up from the newspaper I was reading. You didn't make a sound, but somehow I knew you were in trouble. I jumped up and grabbed you and pulled you off the wire. Everyone told me I was crazy because I could have electrocuted myself, but sweetheart, I didn't care. All I cared about was getting you off that wire. It had already burned your poor mouth. You could have left me that time, but you didn't. You were worth the rick of hurting myself. I am so sorry I wasn't there the day you and Kodi got into the fight. Mommy tried so hard to keep you and Kodi seperated, because I knew that one of you would be the loser and one the victor. Had I been there that day, my precious, you would still be there with me. I have been tearing myself up ever since that day. I tried to get you to the vet right away, but Daddy had my car and Itried to use his van but I couldn't get it to go into reverse without it stalling. I had to call Aunt Reta & Uncle John to come and get us to take us to the vet, but it took them too long to get here, and when we finally got you there it was too late. They took you from me and wouldn't let me stay with you . I wanted to stay with you because I didn't want you to think I had abandoned you. You know i would never do that He is not our vet anymore. You lived for an hour after they made me leave. I could have had one more precious hour with you but they cheated me. Oh my precious, I am so sorry. Mommy loves you more than anything else in the world. My love for you will never die. Thank you for that little teddy bear with the tee shirt on that sais "Casey Loves You" I know you sent me to get it to let you know you love me. For a long time after you left me, I used to stare at the clouds, and I could see mountains and lakes and trees and I always saw you on the far side of the lake, but I couldn't get to you. I think that it was a sign that you were at the Rainbow Bridge and I couldn't get to you until it was my time to leave the earth, then I will go to the Rainbow Bridge and I will take you into Heaven with me. Please Casey, wait for Mommy I love you my angel. God loves you too. Look for Emily and Winston. i think they would be good friends for you. Love Forever, Mommy
