I am so very sorry you lost your little Jackson. Your poem brought tears to my eyes. It was not silly or rambling at all, it was very touching. I lost my little yorkie Jag of 9 years this past Monday night. Jag's death was sudden and totally unexpected as I thought he was in perfect health. My heart is breaking as I write this. Your poem was all the things I'm feeling now. I also tried to express my grief through a poem, although it was not quite as good as yours
I felt a little better after writing it, as if it was a tribute to my baby. I've replayed the day he died over and over in my mind... wondering if I played with him enough or if I made him feel loved. Its a horrible feeling. Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and I'm sending up a prayer for you now. Lots of luck with your new yorkie. They are amazing little ones and in time will bring sooo much love to you. They require a little patience as they all do, but give so much back to you, its incredible.
