My Letter to Max

I love you and even though it has only been a few days, I really miss you.

I remember when your mommy was pregnant with you. She went into labor and I was there when you took your first breath. You enjoyed snuggling with Mazie even then.

How about when your were a baby and decided to use the dog bowl as a napping area.

I miss waking up in the morning with your little head on my pillow and those big brown eyes looking at me so lovingly.

I miss your waking me up in the middle of the night so I could help you get off of the bed to go potty.

I miss watching you tear around the house trying to terrorizing the other dogs.

I miss watching you snuggle on top of Mazie and taking a nap. Mazie wouldn’t move a muscle until you woke up.

How about playing tug of war with your aqua kitty. You not only played with me but you played with the other dogs. They were so gentle with you.

Remember how you enjoyed being wrapped up in your blue blanket with only your head peeking out? What a baby.

Boy, could you jump. You jumped from one end of the couch to the other end landing on my shoulder. You knew I’d catch you and I always did.

Even though your front legs were broke, you could really move. How about the time I was getting you out of the van and I just set you down for just a moment and you were off to the races. By the time you let me catch you, you were already down at the fourth trailer. Crazy kid.

You were really a cuddler. You kept me on my feet, you loved me unconditionally and I don’t care what anyone else says, I loved you unconditionally.

How about our evening conversations. At about 11 pm each night, you would come to me and start your talking. I think you were telling me that it was bed time or you just wanted me to pick you up so you could snooze on my shoulder until we did go to bed.

Lots of people miss you baby. The folks at the vet office are all so upset. Grandma Ginger, Aunt Anna, Aunt Ronda, and Daddy Dana already miss you. All the folks who donated money to get your poor legs.

And me. I will love you always.

Mom

I am truly sorry for the loss of your Max. He looks like he was such a special little guy. RIP sweet boy.

Aw, Max, what an adorable doggy. I am so sad you didn't get to spend more time here with your loving family.

Cindy my heart is broken for you... your letter brought tears to my eyes. It just does not seem FAIR at all. RIP Max... I am a stranger, but I love and miss you too!

I'm so sorry...your letter to Max is beautiful.

I was at the vet today and picked up Max. It's really sad to realize that that vibrant silly little boy fits into this square black box. Hits hard knowing that I will never get any more kisses or be able to pet his silky soft hair. I miss him so terribly. Losing him really has knocked the wind out of my sails. Even though I have three other dogs here, it's not and probably will never be the same here.

You may have seen this before, but here is a quote from "the Prophet" that gave me comfort in hard times.

===============================

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

I wish you and your family some peace during your greief.

That was beautiful, thanks for posting that Quicksilver. I'm sure it can help others as well.
