I know how you feel
by: ANG-ELLA

Dear Tom,
I sit here with tears streaming down my face. Your poem touched me because I too had to make that horrible decision. One month ago I sent my Babi-Boi, my Shih-Tzu, to heaven. I, the same as you, cry often. Guilt is part of the grieving process. I, as you are, am still at that stage. Did I wait too long? Could I have done more? One thing I am sure of is that Babi knew how much I loved him and he knew that whatever decision I made for him was in his best interest. I hurt from missing him. I know it is excrutiating for you because it is the same for me. Babi was 14 and 8 months old. He was under medical care for the past two years. Whatever was wrong with Sam may have cost her years of pain. Maybe you spared her that. You gave her 14 years of love and she loved you. She knew you would do everything in your power for her, and you did. Once our grieving process is complete, we will be left with our wonderful memories of Babi and Sam. I wouldn't trade a minute of those memories for anything. You were worthy of Sam's love and deserve those memories. Your heart is good and full of love. I wish you peace.
