Wobbly
Dear Wobbly
You were my pride and joy. The world seemed like a better place with you in it. You made everything bright and colorful. Now, I find myself seeing the world in a different shade.
When I saw you in the yard staring at a butterfly. I loved you at first sight. Then you got up to chase it and my heart broke into. You were wobbling side to side your back legs you could hardly use. I tried to catch you, but you ran away. I was so surprised at how fast you were given your state. You finally trusted me and I brought you to live inside. I smile even as I write this. I put pillows down all over the house. So you won’t fall and hurt yourself; even though you wobbled, you still loved to climb. You loved cuddles and kisses. You loved being squished. You would cuddle for hours.
Nevertheless, nothing lasts forever, and it broke my heart when you began to fade. I knew you would die, they told me so, but I never thought so soon. For six wonderful years, you were mine, and I cherished every day with you. It broke my heart to let you go. The world seems so empty without you. You would light up the room with your wobbly walks and beautiful face. I know you won’t want me to be sad forever, but everything’s grey without you. I miss you every day. You brought me joy, and now there is sadness in its place. I don’t feel whole with you gone. It’s like you took a piece of me with you. You will always be in my heart and I hope someday to see you again. However, until that day comes I will live with knowing you were loved and I took care of you well. For a brief moment you were a piece of heaven I held in my arms each day. I hope someday to once again see your beautiful face.Love Nanette.

Nanette, I am so sorry for your loss. I can tell that you loved Wobbly very much and my heart breaks for you that he’s no longer here. I hope that you can find comfort in the memories you made with your precious dog and eventually make room in your heart for a new companion. Thank you for sharing this moving story.
