Yes, my beautiful girl, our beloved Matilda, passed away early this afternoon. She died so, so, so peacefully. For 16 hours before her spirit flew, we curled up together on piles of soft blankets. We held paws and we held gazes. We just looked and looked and looked, so deeply. She had all the sparkle she’d always had. Her bright, caring eyes. She smiled as I kissed her over and over and said all the things I wanted to be sure she knew. She held my face in her eyes, with so much love, up until her very last breath.
I made a memorial for her, and she lay circled in pink and yellow flowers while I kissed her more and said the words again I wanted to be sure she knew.
Thank you for loving her.
I will spend a lot of time reading your messages, with so much gratitude.
