Sunday will make 3 long years since our world blew up. Since something we thought couldn’t happen to us, did.
I’m so sorry that it still hurts us so much to remember you, sweetie. We don’t want to forget you, but our guilt makes it so hard to think about you without melting into pools of tears.
You were so strong and even a little stubborn.
We were sure that would save your life.
And though everyone did all they could to save you,
there were other plans.
We will never see a stuffed duck without immediately thinking of you: Without seeing you in our heart, holding it, wiggling your nubby tail.
You were a dainty little cow-dog. But you were tough.
You would have loved to be a working dog, but Momma wouldn’t let you. You might have gotten hurt.
Maybe that was my mistake.
You might still be alive and happy.
But you gave us so much joy, little one.
We will always be proud of you.
Forever,

Mommy & Daddy,
Mickey, Sara, Baby Cat, Wally & Jenny

Dont have regrets... Bernie doesnt... she loved you then and still does now.

Celebrate her life... death has no dominion over joy of LIFE.

Memories are pages in the heartsong book.

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Sounds like Bernadette had a wonderful life being loved by your family. Please don't feel guilty. You rescued her and loved her, and that is all that matters. Instead of guilt, spread the joy she gave you.

Take care.
