RIP Jaime girl
11/04-4/11
I love you so much. You were my best friend and even though your ending has been hard on me. I wouldn't trade the time we've had for anything. I will miss coming down the stairs in the morning and hearing your bell jingling and you plopping in front of the door, demanding love before I went to work.
I know you're better off, and you're in a better place. I know that, unlike me, you weren't scared, and you were okay with what was happening. All I wanted was to save you, I couldn't, and I'm sorry. I just hope that you know that I loved you and I gave you everything I could.
I picked you instead of your sister because, when I reached my hand in the cage, you practically leapt into it. I remember pleading with my parents to let me have you. And even though your life was cut dramatically short, I'm still glad I chose you, and if I had to relive this pain a thousand times, I would, just so I could relive those happy memories with you a thousand times as well.
I love you Jaime Girl.

Just got news from the vet. Jaime is too ill. Their only reccomendation, put her to sleep. I gave the go ahead. I feel like my heart is broken. I can't breathe. I feel like, I just gave the go ahead to kill my best friend....
I'm sorry to hear that, I know it's not easy and it's exactly the same thing I was thinking when me and my dad were with Kitty at the end.
But in the end, when we'd exhausted all the treatment she had from the vet and still didn't get better we knew we had to help her and thats the way you've got to see it.

I do...to an extent. Its just hard. She was my only pet. So it's weird not going home and caring for her anymore. I'm a nurturing person and I need to care for something.
It kills me that I lost my best friend.

I understand, it hurts like hell and we all experienced days of listlessness because we didn't have anything to care for, or any purpose anymore. Even now, two years after she left us we all still think about her, talk about her and I know it sounds cliched but it helps to do that.
You should blame the illness she had, not yourself, for it was that that forced you and the vet to act. The fact that you went through with it shows everyone you cared deeply about her and her quality of life. It also shows you were not selfish in keeping her in the torment she was in just to hold on to her.
I don't mean to intrude anymore but this is a poem we received from the cremation service on a card, I thought it might help:
Forget me not, for we must say goodbye
Keep me in your heart, and I will never die
The long road ahead may seem very tough
But sure, happy memories are more than enough
Spread my ashes through soul and mind
For my spirit will live on in hearts of those I find
Do not stand beside me and fully weep,
Even though the loss may feel very deep
Take comfort in knowing that I loved you
A love we shared, a love that grew
So do not forget me, our love has no end
I'm glad we met, my one true friend.
Hope it helps 🙂
