MP_the4pack Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It was a normal day. I left work anxious to see my furkids. I stopped at the bank, we chatted about the girls because they go in with me all the time. I stopped someplace else but don't remember. The last stop was Boston Market. I picked up 1/2 chicken so that I can give the girls the dark meat. I'm home, fumble to open the front door with all my packages. I open the door and saw a cowering, blood and mud covered Tanzi and knew instantly something was devastatingly wrong. I called for Opal. No answer. I dumped my pakages, ran out the back, and saw Emma cowering at the bottom of the stairs. I called for Opal. No answer. I went inside, threw on my snow boots, grabbed a flashlight and hurried back outside. I found her masuled body within seconds. I'm so sorry Opal I wasn't there for you. I miss you every day. I hurt for you every day. I never should have adopted Emma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeedlenoseJake Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's not your fault because you never could have known. It's obvious that you loved her very much and somethings bad things happen for no reason. Hugs.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
