For Tok
For our dear "Mr. Tokers".
It's already been 6 months. Your bed is still here, your bowls empty in their place. I haven't had the heart to put anything away.
Tikaani has finally started to smile and play again, young Teekon has helped her through. Still we find her, time to time, laying on your blanket with sad eyes, sniffing your scent. Sometimes late at night she wanders to your old spots and looks for you, just in case you should return. But we all do that, hoping that somehow, if we hope enough, that you'll be there.
It helps us all to know that you are finally free, no more weakness, and no more pain. No more fighting a losing battle. DM can't touch you where you are now, running through the heavens, howling through the night.
It's a comfort to know that you knew a happy life before you had to go. I hope those people know what they lost when they left you in the cold. I hope they suffer the way they let you suffer. I'm greatful to have had a chance to see that wonderful light appear in your eyes, to see you run and play and howl. I'm glad you knew happiness, heaven knows you deserved it. I know I wasn't perfect, I'm sure I made mistakes. But you were always so greatful, no matter how I screwed up. I suppose what I really should be saying is Thank you, thank you so much for making me smile, and making life that much happier. As hard as it is to say goodbye now, I will never regret a single day with you. You were well worth the pain.
Bless you Tok, be free and smile every chance you get. Never let that light go out.
Until we meet again,
Love always and forever,
Your family.
Jen and pack
For Tok, I will always remember the happier days when you howled and played as one of our pack. You will never be forgotten, and you can never be replaced. God has a special place for special creatures, and that is where we will meet again. Forever in our hearts, love always, your family.
