I found this online while searching for a card to give to a co-worker who recently put her 20 year old cat to sleep. We also had a co-worker lose a dog this week so we took up a collection and made donations to our local humane society in their memories.
I thought this reading was too beautiful and appropriate not to share:
Our inability to completely protect and keep from harm those we love is a painful but inherent part of the human condition.
Let solace be taken, however, in knowing that we gave the best we had to our little friends, and that they knew, without an inkling of doubt, that they were deeply loved.
For, beyond all else, that is the greatest gift we give to them, and in turn, the greatest gift they give to us.
