Dear Dave, For 10 years you've been at my side. You were always there to listen to me, were concerned when I cried, looked up to me in adoration, love me unconditionally even when I yelled at you. I still can't believe that you are gone, it seems so surreal. I keep expecting to look over and see you laying on the floor. I place my left overs on the floor not realizing you are not there to eat them. When I come home I almost call out your name until I remember you are gone. I always knew this day would come... but I didn't think it would come so soon. I'm sorry that you were in so much pain you held on and made it through christmas. We made the right decision in letting you go, I did not want to see you suffer any longer. I was glad that I could be there and hold your head in my lap for you final moments. I know that you left know that I love you. You will always have a special place in my heart.
