Saying goodbye to my best friend Izzy

Had to say goodbye to my best friend today. Had her for 16 wonderful years. I gave her the best life I could and she held on as long as she could. Her health started declining rapidly a few weeks ago and I made the tough choice to say goodbye. She was one of a kind and while this sorrow I’m feeling is deep and painful, I know I made the right choice. I didn’t want her to suffer. I did everything I could to try and ease her pain until she was able to take that long sleep. I know my dad loved her and he passed away 2 years ago, so I know he will take great care of her on the other side, until I get there. Izzy, I love you and I’ll never forget you.
