I found this online when searching for a card to give to a co-worker who lost her 12 year old dog last week. We took up a collection at work and made a donation to the local humane society in his memory. His death was sudden and she is devastated. I thought this 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.
