To My Darling Charlie (girl)

January 10, 2019 is one of the saddest days of my life. My darling Charlie bid goodbye to this cruel world.

You were knocked down by a speed-hound on the highway, ending your sweet, short life in an instant.

I do not consider you, my darling girl, as a dog; you were my best friend and companion. You gave me unconditional love, love, love, love, every single day!

I can picture you wagging your lovely, bushy tail in joy, every time I return home – any time of the day. Your face was so expressive – your beautiful brown eyes radiated joy, love and delight.

That night, shortly before you left me forever, I remember you sleeping on top of my feet – as usual. I remember you curled up and sleeping near my room door, as you always do.

I never imagined even in my wildest dreams that you would leave me so suddenly – when I woke up in the morning, you were gone!

My darling Charlie, thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for all the joy you brought into my life. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will never, ever forget you, my darling kiddo.

You lived a very short life on this earth, less than one year. But your memory will live with me for ever and ever.

My Darling Charlie, I will never, ever forget you. I will love you as long as I live. Thank you for everything!

I am waiting to meet you again some day.

I love you, my darling girl, forever!
