I just told my daughter (Lauryn) about Maddie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

DENISE517 · 06-27-2007, 06:44 PM

Well, I finally had to tell Lauryn about Maddie. She kept talking about her missing, etc. and I just felt so bad, I couldn't hide it any longer. She is soon to be 14 and I guess maybe I should have told her about it in the beginning, but it was soooo difficult for me to deal with, I wasn't sure how she would handle it all.

I told her about the college kid and what he had done, and that he burried Maddie in his parents back yard........

She was so sad to think he didn't bring her to us. We've decided to bury Maddies favorite toys, her bone from Des that says Maddie and her doggie bowl in our back yard. We know its not her, but we will always feel like a part of her is there cause these were her favorites. I'm gonna bring home the cards from work cause she wants to read them. I'm glad I told her now, as hard as it was and as hard as it is on her, maybe she can begin to heal. Plus my almost 3 year old kept bring up about Maddie dying (over heard me on the phone) and I was afraid she' say it in front of Lauryn. Now I can show my emotions without having to run and hide.

The bad thing, is I feel like I'm reliving it all over again. Please pray for Lauryn. She is just the best kid and didnt deserve to have this happen. I think she too want to get another Yorkie in time to help heal our heart, but NEVER to replace our little darling Maddie. She was our best friend ever. We will miss heR crazy bark, her sweet kisses, and her ALWAYS ALWAYS wanting to be held. SHE WAS THE BEST EVER!!!!!

Maddie will be miss sooooo much and its so hard to deal with, but I know Maddie is in heaven now, chasing bunnies, and living the high life. God can give her sometime I couldn't...... protection.

Dear Maddie......WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Denise, I know how hard that must have been for you, but I'm sure your daughter appreciates the truth even though it's difficult to deal with. I'm so sorry about Maddie, and I wish there was something I could do for you guys...I know Maddie was a very special little girl, and I agree that in time, you can think about adding a yorkie to your family...Maybe not now, but when the time is right for you and your family. Again, I am so sorry for your loss...
RIP sweet little Maddie!!

babi1542 · 06-27-2007, 06:53 PM

I' m so sorry you have to go through this pain. Your daughter will be okay just give it time. If I can do anything, please do not hesitate to ask. You and your family are in my prayers.

Holly_QD · 06-27-2007, 06:55 PM

Hello Denise. My name is Laura. I am so so sorry to hear about your Maddie. I was away on vacation so I missed the story but wanted to send hugs your way. I can not imagine how hard it must be for you and your family to have lost your sweet little girl. I'll say a little prayer for you.

mizzwanned · 06-27-2007, 06:57 PM

Awww Denise you made me cry! It's so hard, I know! And it's hard retelling what happened to your daughter. I am praying for you and hoping for the best, little Maddie is now resting in peace with God.

my2boyz · 06-27-2007, 06:58 PM

I'm sorry for your pain...you and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

When my daughter-in-law found her Mom's Boston after he had been hit they burried him in her yard and planted a yellow rose bush on that spot. Maybe you could do something like that and call it your Maddie Rose.

stedmansmommy · 06-27-2007, 07:09 PM

Denise, I am so sorry that you are all going through this. I know I've said it a million times, but I truly am. You know what was best, and you know your daughter. I can only imagine how hard it was for her to hear this, but at least now she knows the truth and even though it is awful, at least FOR HER there are no unanswered questions anymore. Like you said, maybe now she can begin to heal in her own way, and in her own time.

I think that getting another baby will help all of you. It won't bring Maddie back, and it definitely won't replace her (NOTHING will..), but I'm sure it will bring you all happiness and joy to see a little one running around the house, barking again

I am praying for ALL of you, including Lauryn. I am praying for Maddie, even though I know that she is safe in God's arms now. We will miss her SO very much...more than words can say.

We love you Maddie, we will always love you

TootiesMom · 06-27-2007, 07:14 PM

I am so sorry for your loss... we recently experienced a loss as well... it really helped us, having the other pups here... Good Luck to your family in recovering from such a terrible thing...
bless you all!

IM SOOO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS! I havent been responding but i have been reading. i dont know what exactly happened but i do know this i have lost a dog and she was one of the best dogs in the world to me.

she was beagle named misty and we rescued her when i was little. she wouldnt potty in the floor, or hurt a fly. she used to just sit there with baby lizards on her nose. I cry thinking about it now.

we found out she had heart worms. they gave us the choice of surgery but they said she might not make it through because she was too small or just let her live it out. and we decided to let her live it out and she didnt let her bother her one bit.

when my mom got a divorce and we moved here to texas we had to stay with my grandma for a while and she didnt allow pets. so my great aunt kept them for us. My mom then met her boyfriend and wanted to move in but we werent sure yet. we didnt want to rush things. we knew we could have the dogs at his house tho.

While we were debating. my great aunt took her to the animal shelter i guess she had too many pets. But she didnt even tell us till after she did it and she said by the way they put misty to sleep because she had heartworms and no one was going to adopt her. We would have picked her up with no hesitation.

i know this is long but so you see that i know how you feel. im truely sorry!

Wylie's Mom · 06-27-2007, 07:28 PM

I am crying right now - this whole thing is so heartbreaking, I can hardly imagine your emotions. I have a few pets who've passed but this is just....so painful that you didn't get her back to see her off in your own way and I just ache for you, your family, and little sweet Maddie.

I'm so sorry, Denise, for all of your pain. I know you know it will get better - and you have all the support in the world here at YT. I wish you serenity as you heal from this.

jp4m2 · 06-27-2007, 07:29 PM

Denise, I'm so sorry your whole family is heartbroken....maybe it was for the best your daughter knows...the unknown can be just as difficult to process...now there is an ending instead of "what if's" & " maybes" for her...your in my thoughts & prayers for strength to get through this together.....

cindy0721 · 06-27-2007, 07:31 PM

I'm sorry Denise... I know this is so hard.... I don't wish this heartache on anyone.. I lost my Maddy last Aug and I to this day miss her like heck.... but I know she is in a good place and I had to learn to deal..... give your daughter a great big hug from us and I will say a prayer in return for your fast healing.... take care...

sexiixtc · 06-27-2007, 07:53 PM

oh Denise how sorry I am. I have tears running my cheeks.
Tell Lauren we love her.
We love You.
Time heals all wounds.
Of course, Maddie will never be replaced, but one day, another little dariling will bring happiness to you and your family.

WE LOVE YOU! Edith and KK

daisy mae06 · 06-27-2007, 08:17 PM
