The most caring, gentle, sweet, tender thing on this planet, in my view, has left this world.
We knew that with her being 13, going on 14, that we were on borrowed time with her life. she left us 0900 on 02/07/2015. She left us in her sleep.
I am having an enormously large problem dealing with her passing.
She depended upon me to keep her safe. Which I would gladly would do and did on occasion, yet I could NOT protect her from this.
Her personality has taught me so much about life. I started writing about her years ago, only I have not completed the book.
Her dedication to me, her steadfastness of behaviors, no matter of circumstances etc. etc.
She made it a routine, every night to gently and so tenderly lick both of my hands to clean them up. I used to comment to my wife at how tender her licks were. It was like she was kissing my hands. She made it a nightly routine, every night, no matter what.
Lily showed my entire family how she loved us in so many ways, that it was never any doubt. It was her gentleness that endeared us to her. She was in no way a lap creature, yet She soaked up our love, and never feared anything that we ever did to Her, as She did not ever get treated without respect, period. She never experienced any type of aggressive behavior from us. She never knew what it would be like to be physically hurt by one of her Humans. I will always feel as tho She was a Blessing from our God, contained in the container of this little creature. I will never say that She was a Dog, She was so much more than that, considering everything that She was to our Family and to the Neighbors that She accepted as members of our Pack. Those Neighbors that dealt with Her on a daily basis, loved Her and say that they never ever met a sweeter creature than She. They are weeping with me about her passing as well.
I never expected this connection to Her, when We got her. We purchased this beautiful creature for my youngest daughter, but She became Bonded to me, and the story goes. I shall never regret this relationship, but I thank the Good Lord for allowing Her to share our life with Her.
All I can say is that I MISS HER SO, I am glad that She passed in Her sleep without experiencing the trauma of leaving while She was awake.
I am wracking my brain trying to figure out what I could have done to try to keep Her with us, when I got to Her. I do know that anything that She ever did for us will never be lost. Thank You Miss Lily.
