It was less than 8 months ago that Erin found the tumor and we learned that it was cancer. Less than 8 months ago that you had the surgery that we hoped would save you and less than 5 months ago that the tumor returned. When you took a turn for the worst in March, Dr. Katie told your mommy that 'It was time.' There they were, those dreaded words. That was Thursday March 19th, but your mommy wouldn't let you go without giving me the chance to say good bye, so you suffered three more days and as awful that was we thank God for that time with you. You laid in the grass that Saturday morning and you let me cover you, something you would never have let me do if you weren't so sick. It was so cool and damp and I was sure you were cold. When I close my eyes, I can still see you covered up, on that cold ground on that beautiful morning. A far cry from the days when we could watch you running around, playing with your squeaky toys and making us laugh.
Then, just before 1:00pm we had to take you to the vet. That was the hardest day of my life. When the time came we went in with you. Your mommy laid on the floor with you and told you over and over how sorry she was. I prayed over you and when the nurse told me that you were gone I heard myself cry out. Your mommy held you and the nurse removed your collar and handed it to me. Crying, I took it from her thinking about the fact that you always wanted that collar on. We stayed with you as long as we could. Finally, your mommy wrapped you in a blanket and handed you to the nurse. We were so sad. Later that day, I hung your collar on the key ring at Danielle's,(your mommy) before I left. I was so upset that day that I got lost driving back to Orlando. I took a wrong turn somewhere and it took me 4 hours to get home. All I could think about was that I wanted you back. I wish that the time had never come but we knew how sick you were and we had to let you go. Please forgive us Maggie. I asked if I could take your collar home with me but your mommy said that it comforts her to see it on the key ring as she leaves for work each morning. At Easter I had to clean the floors. She didn't have the heart to sweep up your hair but I knew it had to be done.
Your ashes are sitting in the most beautiful urn, with a pink heart on it, on the kitchen counter. Your mommy said that you loved the kitchen most and she wanted you to be there. Dr. Katie had a cast made of your paw print and Danielle is going to put it in a shadow box soon. We know that 'Buddy' must miss you too but he is getting more attention since you've gone. You and he were together so long, I think he knew, more than us, how sick you were and understood it before we did.
I still have a hard time accepting that you are gone. No one understood me like you did and I miss you so much. Tears streaming down my face as I write this. I asked God to watch over you and I know He is. Thank you Maggie for the love, the laughter, the hugs and kisses. Rest in peace until we meet again. I will be patient, I will see my journey through and then I will come home to be with you. You are forever loved and never forgotten. Grammy
Still missing you
Love you and miss you very much even as time goes by. I fear that Buddy will be with you soon so when that happens please take care of him and show him the ropes.
Waiting for the day I can meet you again little one.
Always and Forever,
Grammy
Miss you so much Maggie, I still talk about you all the time. I wanted to let you know that your brother and long time companion is getting much older now and he very bad arthritis as well as some other problems. We will find out the results of some tests tomorrow and I am hoping that everything is ok. It scares me and I can't bear to loose him also. We miss and love you very much and I often think of the days when I first took you home. They were very special and beautiful.
Love you,
Mommy
Two Years ago today
Little Maggie, I think of you often and still miss you from the bottom of my heart. I am so sorry that you suffered before you left us. I would give anything to see you again, happy, playing with your toys. I'll see you one day, when God allows me to go to you.
I'll always have you close to my heart little one. I love you and miss you very very much.
Grammy
Miss you
I miss and love you so much! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Love mommy
Tough Day today Maggie
One year ago, on March 21, 2009 we laid you to rest. Although it was 21st it fell on a Saturday last year. Today. One year ago. I am at your house today and wonder if you have come to visit me here today. I know you must know how much I miss you and I don't mean to keep you here. I just can't let you go yet. I have read the bible and I find many undertones of dog in heaven but I know you are in heaven. There are many animals that need help here on earth, now, but I am afraid to love them and loose them. At this time I cannot deal with that pain. But I know that I must try to let you go. You need to rest and I need to wait until the day when we meet again. I am looking forward to that day. There are several things about life that we cannot escape. Death is one of them. We willl all die but that isn't a bad thing. We move to another level under God our Father who promised never to forsake us or leave us. I believe in HIM. He never pomised that we would not suffer though so prepare for it. Like a Good Father, HE dicilplines us until we understand. HE is preparing us to be safe from harm, healthy, and happy with life. I ask any of you, as a good father or mother do you not have to put you child in tme out, make them think about what they are doing, so that they are always protected to the best of your ability? That is what our FATHER is doing for us here. He is teaching us what we need to know in order to be with HIM in heaven. It is not easy, but it is necessary. God loves us and HE is doing what any good Father would do in order to protect his children. It won't be easy but it is necessary. I love you Maggie. We will meet again baby doll.

Oh Maggie, how much I miss you baby doll. You were the joy of our lives and I continue to keep you alive in my mind and in telling others how much you were loved and how much joy you brought to our lives. I know that there are other dogs out there that need a good home and love too but I am still in mourning for you. I pray to the Lord that I am not being too selfish in not letting you go. It will take awhile but I will manage to overcome this. Knowing that you are in Heaven and that I will see you again means so much to me. Look for my mother, Willie Mae Langley. She will be the one who has all the dogs around her but she will have enough love for you and will keep you safe until we arrive. Love and kisses. Grammy

Hi baby, I was sick last weekend and all I could think of was how bad you must have felt in your last days. I'm so sorry that you suffered little one.
I know that you are in a better place but life without you, hear on earth, hurts. love and kisses
Christmas 2009
Our first Christmas without you, it was hard on all of us. How lucky you are to have so many people love you so. Forever and Forever our love will never forget. Merry Christmas baby, I pray you had a wonderful one with Jesus. Love, Grammy and Mommy
Another long week without you
I wonder how long I will cry every time that I think of you baby? I know that its my problem, not yours but I miss you so much.
I pray that you are having a wonderful life up in heaven and you aren't hurting anymore.
I miss your love and your kisses so much and I can't wait to see you again. Take care of your mommy, if you can be by her side during this time I think it will help her, she is going through a difficult time and I know you will be there to support her.
We love you so much. God Bless. Grammy

My dearest Maggie,
My pain on your birthday, yesterday, is as great now as it was when you died. What I would give to have you with me just one more day. I pray that you lay down in green grass, with the sun shinning on you. Loving the outside and playing with your toys.
Rest in peace my darling. I am so happy you aren't in pain anymore. Wait for me by the gate, of all those I've loved and lost you are the face I long to see first. We miss you and promise never to ever forget you my baby.
And thanks to the wonderful folks who visted your site yesterday to say 'Happy Birthday little Maggie. They touch my heart and I appreciate the fact that they care.
I wonder if the pain of loosing you will ever end for me. For you, I know your in a better place. Be strong baby and I will be strong for you.
Tears of love, Grammy
