My beloved Chandler is truly an Angel

This evening at 6:24 PM I held my beloved Chandler as he made his journey to Rainbow Bridge and was greeted by his sister Lacey and my other Sheltie Buddy. I wrote Lacey ahead of time to prepare her for Chandler's journey.

Dear Lacey,

It's been four years since I've seen you,
I miss you oh so much.
Your smiling face and wagging tail,
the fur I loved to touch.

I'm writing you to tell you,
Our Chandler isn't well.
This year's been tough,he's been so sick,
it's time now I can tell.

Today I'm going to free him,
of all his earthly pain.
I'll send him on to Rainbow Bridge,
to be with you again.

So Lacey, when you hear that bark,
familiar to your ears.
Look towards the Bridge you'll see the boy,
that we both hold so Dear.

It soothes my heart just knowing,
that you'll be there for him.
Just like Buddy was there for you,
when you came prancing in.

So run and play amongst the fields,
and hold eachother near.
Because someday from across the Bridge.
it's my voice that you'll hear.

Til we meet again,
Love Mommy

What an aboslutely lovely letter that you shared with us. During these times, I really have a hard to expressing how I am feeling with words. But please know that my heart is breaking for you. I hope that you can find peace in your decision to let Chandler be free from pain and suffering to run free with his other furry pals. Big hugs to you for being the brave loving mommy that you are.
 
There are no words to take away the pain but please know that our hearts are with you tonight and thinking of you and Chandler. Such a beautiful letter. What lucky dogs to have had such love in their lives.
 
Dawn, you and Chandler have been in my thoughts all day and I have shed tears with you several times today. I feel your sadness and grief and when it feels it's to much to bear, just think of the good times and sweet memories you've had with him. It really helps. :sadsmile:
 
Hey Kiddo,
I thought about you and Chandler all evening and all today. He's happy now Dawn. I know how heart broken you are but he let you know it was time ...he's thinking of you now, just as you are thinking of him. he'll always be a part of your heart, as you will always be a part of his.
When your up to it, please let me hear from you......
 
Dawn I am so very sorry, you have my deepest sympathy. I know that was really a very hard decision for you to make, it always is.
