Zaras List

I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. You were so thin, weak, so frail you could not walk on your own so I carried you to the house. I remembered thinking how could this have happened, and as we sat on the couch and I held you close I was overwhelmed with sadness. We sat there for the longest time as you softly licked my hand, through the tears I promised you that you were now safe, you would never know hunger, you would always have a warm bed to curl up in and from this day you would always know you were loved. This day was the start of your new life filled with only the best that I could promise you and that you had right until our last day together. After a long battle you had let go...to run, and jump and do all the things your body would not allow you to do in life. Thank you for fighting so hard and long I know you were so tired and I hope you found your peace. If I would have known that day would be our last I would have kissed you one last time, held on a little longer and one more time told you how much my heart loved you. I felt my heart break when I was told you would not be coming home. All I had now was your empty bed which would stay for months, I just could not let go... Even though I new you were in a better place, free of your pain my heart just couldn't understand. Thank you Sadie for coming into my life and though our time was cut much to short, I cherish each day we had and I hold close all the memories we made together. You are missed everyday and you will always be in my heart. I am grateful everyday that I was allowed to share in your life. Until we meet again my Sadie, my little sad eyed girl...
