My Dearest Ringo

by Jose M
(Madrid, Spain)

You left us after 16 years of making our boring lives more interesting. I did for you things I would have never done for a human being, and still I feel guilty. I am not sure whether I tried all my best to make you feel completely happy, if not, forgive me.

You had a very difficult time months before leaving us, after your long illness. I am not sure whether we were too selfish not letting you go. Now we can hardly cope without you.

I try to think that you were just a dog, a grumpy dog, but after a few seconds I realise that I am angry because you have left us alone, with our boring lives. Difficult to forget so many things we have done together.

I wish that all some people think about the Rainbow Bridge is genuinely true and I can meet you again, caressing your furry ears and touching your black button to disturb you and make you react.

Forgive me if I have ever made you feel uneasy with my strong temperament, and remember that I truly love you so much.

My dearest Ringo... all my kisses and thoughts for you forever, my dearest friend.
