Dear Brittany:

How my heart is breaking since the day that you passed. The day I had to make that heart breaking decision......You just lay there on the rug looking up at me with your big brown eyes.....I knew that you were in pain.....But could I be selfish & still keep you with me knowing how much you were hurting?

Coming back into that empty apt. knowing you weren't behind the door wagging your tail, was the hardest thing.
I just want you to know Britt that you gave me 12 great yrs....You were my best friend, my soul mate..And no matter what kind of a day I had, you were always there to lick my face and tell me "it's ok, I'm here"....Every nite I still get up to look where your sleeping. To make sure that you're all right..
We've been thru so much together. You helped me survive my heart attack, get me thru my brother's passing, & all those stressful days at work.....And never asked for anythng in return.....Just lots of love & treats.

The last couple of weeks when you got sick & wasn't eating & had a hard time walking, I would of dne anything for you.....
I just want to know that you are finally at peace & don't hurt any more....But the whole you left in my heart will never mend.....I still have your blanket that you slept on....Can't wash it because that would mean I wouldn't be able to smell you. Your last raw hide that you didn't finish is still here. I go to sleep hoping that you'll cme to me in my dreams....

You gave me the best 12 yrs. of my life. I will never ever forget you.........And noone will ever replace you in my heart........NEVER.
Rest in peace Britt, till we meet again in "Rainbow Bridge"

I love you Britt
Felicia

Dear Elaine:
Thanks for your words of comfort.....It's a week today that I had to put my Brittany down.......And going each day back into the apt. is so hard espiecially today......Every day I go to sleep earlier & earlier hoping that I'll see her in my dreams.......I need to talk to her......And that is why I had to post that letter to her.....To let her know that she is so very much missed......And there's such a huge whole in my heart......that noone will ever replace....
thanks for the hugs......I really could use every one of them

Felicia

a week, a whole 7 days, it's amazing time marches forward when we feel that we are sorta stuck or perhaps we dont even realise we feel like this, did writing to your Brittany help you? I truly hope so, 7 days is such a raw time, phew!!!!! This is tough stuff indeed. that huge hole in your heart will be there for ages & even if it's forever that's ok too. I don't think we realise just how strong we can be. it's usually love of our lossed companions that we use to get thru.
more {{{HUGS}}} for you Felicia
