Hello my wonderful boy

I am absolutely astonished Merlin, I have had a huge amount of wonderful messages and comments from people and doggies, then I went to give you your daily bone, instead of the 20 that were there yesterday there was 63! You have touched so many hearts Merlin, you really are a wonderful boy and I am so proud of you.

When I read the messages Merlin, tears ran down my cheek, not out of sorrow but out of joy, joy that so many people and doggies think so much of you. You really are my hero Merlin, I love you so much my boy.

Remember when we went for walks on the property? You would walk beside me looking for a special stick, or in your case a huge tree branch that fell off during a storm, I'm still amazed how you managed to carry some of them. We'd sit in the shade and relax, I'd put my arm around you and give you a hug. Then you would want me to throw sticks for you to fetch. I'd throw it so hard for you, then you'd go running off at full speed, pick it up and come trotting back to me looking so proud of yourself, drop the stick at my feet and bark, telling me to throw it again. We had so much fun Merlin. Then when you were tired we would go indoors and sit down with you as always beside me.

Melissa always said I spoiled you. I couldn't help but spoil you Merlin, you were and still are so special to me.

I don't know how long I have left Merlin, but if its a week or 20 years, I wish I could give you half so we could cross the bridge together.

God how I love you Merlin

Your ever loving Daddy

Today, Merlin's Daddy, when I read this...I thought of you.
I knew I had to send it to you. I hope it brings you peace.

I Felt An Angel Near Today,
Though One I Couldn't See.
I Felt An Angel, Oh-So-Close,
Sent To Comfort Me.

I Felt An Angel's Gentle Kiss,
Soft Upon My Cheek.
And Oh, Without A Single Word,
Of Caring It Did Speak.

I Felt An Angel's Loving Touch,
Soft Upon My Heart.
And With That Touch, I Felt The Pain,
And Hurt Within Depart.

I Felt An Angel's Tepid Tears,
Fall Softly Next To Mine.
And Knew That As Those Tears Did Dry,
A New Day Would Be Mine.

I Felt An Angel's Silken Wings,
Enfold Me With Pure Love.
And Felt A Strength Within Me Grow,
A Strength Sent From Above.

I Felt An Angel, Oh-So-Close,
Though One I Couldn't See,
I Felt An Angel Near Today,
Sent To Comfort Me.

Thank you so much for the beautiful poem.

I know Merlin is looking down on me, I know he is no longer in pain, I know he is waiting for me. But I do miss him so much, he was and still is a wonderful boy in a billion.

I can't wait to see my lovely big boy again, I will give him such a hug and a cuddle, my wonderful boy Merlin.

Thank you again for the beautiful poem.
