Tribute to Teddy - My Baby Maltese

To My Darling Angel, Teddy,
My Precious little boy.
7-16-2003 to 1-7-2012

Thank you for giving me so much unconditional love for 8 years and me being capable of giving that back to you.

You have opened my heart like a flower blooming to see more kindness, understanding, acceptance and empathy in this world. You taught me what pure innocence is. I miss you so much.

In the end you just stared out at the ocean in the dark and it was cold out, but always looked up to me. I said to myself, "I never want to leave you in the cold dark night alone." I think that by letting you rest in peace, I set you free from suffering, into the warm beautiful light.

I know you are not here to lick my tears away and would not want to see me sad, but you are in my heart. That keeps me strong. You put up a good fight, my darling. We both did everything we could.

I will always be with you, no matter how far, no matter where you are. I will meet you again and kiss your precious face at the Rainbow Bridge and hold you in my arms once again. I will never leave you and I know you will wait for me as you always have.

I love you and will never forget you. I will miss you forever.

Your Mommy, Gail
