I love you

Lord in heaven,

Please take good care of her. Tell her that I regret not treasuring her the last time I saw her. Tell her that I miss her already, and I would do anything to hold her one last time. Tell her I'm sorry I couldn't see her one last time, I hope she can forgive me. She should know my heart was with her till the very end. The 19 years we've had together were wonderful. Although I regret not giving her the attention I should have, it was a comfort to know she was always there when I needed her. I hope she wasn't scared. I hope she was happy knowing that she was with the people who loved her the most. If it wasn't clear to her before, most of all, tell her that I love her with all my heart. She was the best dog I could ever ask for. Please, tell her that I love her. Tell her not to forget me while she's having all sorts of fun in heaven, because I'll come looking for her one day. And when I do, I'll expect to see her perky self, wagging her tail happily at the sign of familiarity.

Amen.
