Dear Jessie, 

I miss you so much it's unbearable.  I see you everywhere I look in this house.  I can hear your footsteps and I anticipate seeing your happy face and wagging tail only to realize I never will again in this house.  I hope you knew how much you were loved because we did love you so dearly.  I don't know if I'll ever go down to the river and walk along that path that you loved so much ever again. We were there just the other day and you jumped in the river and swam. I had no idea you were sick. The sorrow is overwhelming and I want so bad to hug and kiss you one more time and to tell you that you are my baby and what a good girl you are.  You died suddenly, alone in the hospital and I wonder if you were looking for me.  I wanted to stay, I wanted to lay down with you and comfort you and rub you but there was no place for me there.  You were hooked up to all those machines.  They said you weren't in pain.  Oh Jessie I'm so sorry you're gone. I will never ever forget you girl and all the memories we created together.  You were the constant ray of sunshine in my life.  You stood by me through good times and bad and never seemed unhappy-even  when you got sick.  Hours before your death you were still wagging your tail at the doctors and nurses...even in pain.  My sweet baby girl, rest in peace and know that your mommy will love you always.  You'll never be forgotten and I know I'll see you again one day.  I love you Jessica Amber.  

Love, 

Mom
