A Letter
to Edison
July

Dearest
Edison,
It
is with the greatest of sadness I write this letter to
you. Never in a million years would I have thought I would be writing
this to you SO SOON! This is a travesty that I feared since you touched
my heart over five years ago.
You
have just got to know, YOU WERE THE GREATEST GIFT OF
ALL………….. and I thank you!! You were the most GORGEOUS Saint I’d ever
seen, and over time, I found out that you were as beautiful INSIDE as
you were outside!
You have brought me more life, than life
itself! You have taught me
lessons of 5 lifetimes. You showed nothing but CLASS and RESPECT your
whole life! The patience you endured, is beyond belief!! The tolerance
for all of the incoming wayward saints that you showed, was beyond the call of duty! All of the
WARM HEARTS that you touched with your gentle nature made you the
PERFECT REPRESENTATIVE for the breed. Although, most of the time, I
didn’t even consider you a Saint Bernard, you were indeed, MY LITTLE
MAN! I gave birth to you, and you were brought to me as a GIFT. A gift I
hope I didn’t take for granted! A gift that I would give anything to
have back! Your heart and generosity was unprecedented. The love you
gave to each and every person, dog, bird and BUNNY, was beyond a
person’s comprehension! Who are you? SUPERDOG? Why did you have to leave
so soon? Did you not know this would end my world? Did you know this
was coming? I’m sorry for being so selfish, but that’s just how I feel.
You are EXTRAORDINARY! You left a legacy young man, that NO DOG except
maybe Barry himself, can compare to! You were the end all, no doubt. If
only I could have helped you! Sooner, before the PAIN! I know you
endured terrible pain that last week, and yet, still kept your wits
about you, to the bitter end. Not even letting go when you were in
misery, but holding your pee for 30 hours. Edison, my God! You’re ONE IN
A MILLION!Will you return? Could that be possible? Could
I be so lucky as to have you at my side again? God, I can only
hope to
be that
I hope you’re missing me too, I would guess
you are? Please know that I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF and I
want
to THANK YOU for being my soul mate the past 5 ½ years! They
were
the happiest years of my life because of YOU!
I LOVE YOU, Little Man, Please
come back!
Mom
