Yesterday was my birthday.
Our sweet, beloved Belle had not been well.
I knew her days with us were few.
But, I did not expect on my birthday we'd tell her Good-bye.
Not the gift one wants on their birthday.
Amongst the sadness and tears of losing her,
I realized losing her was a gift.
The gift of knowing the unconditional love that our pets eagerly give us!
The gift of her loyalty, joyful, silly, love!
The gift that her suffering from cancer was over!
To our Beloved, Baby Girl Dog Dog, Belle Wigglebottom Hacker,
our lives will forever be touched by your love!
George was adopted and joined our family in 2016.
Belle immediately accepted him and taught him the ropes
of his new home
She loved to hug, even when she wasn't feeling well
Dearest Cousin Tami...In having your beloved Belle cross the Rainbow Bridge, she was giving you the gift of peace in your heart and mind that she was not having to suffer with her illness any more and that her sweet and loving memories as a family member will stay with you always. It hurts to let them go, but knowing their pain has finally stopped is truly a blessing and our furry kids loved us so much.

ReplyDeleteThank you Gail, she loved you too and getting into your craft bags. Hugs back, Tami & Larry
DeleteI am so sorry Tami, I know too well what you feel. My husband and I have 3 rescues right now, in a long line of adopted babies. With each passing we mourn while reflecting on the joy each has brought into our lives. For that we are also grateful. My heart mourns with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, Thank you for your kind words! Hugs, Tami
