this is ginger. I had to say goodbye today.

I still remember the warm feeling of her small body being put on my lap at 6 years old. I remember her racing around the house, I remember her bark, I remember her tripping me while I was walking up the stairs. I remember crying to her at my worst. I miss you so much. I'm glad I could be there with you when you let go. I massaged your sore joints, I gave you some chicken, I told you I love you, and I kissed your cold face after you had left. I love you more than anything, thank you for growing up with me. I would do anything to have more time with you. To see you wag your tail one more time. I've been sobbing all day. I love you, I'm sorry I couldn't get you that cheeseburger before you left. I hope you're playing with misty and katybug in dog heaven, and I hope i can see you again later on.
