COBRA , YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND FOR MANY YEARS, NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE MY HEART IS FILLED WITH TEARS,

Nickname: gaustin@surry.net

COBRA, I FOUND YOU WHEN YOU WERE JUST 2 WEEKS OLD. YOU WERE SUCH A CUTE BUNDLE OF JOY AND HAPPINESS. i TIED A LITTLE RED RIBBON AROUND YOU LITTLE NECK SO i WOULD'NT MIX YOU UP WITH THE OTHER PRECIOUS ONES. EACH DAY I WOULD COME TO SEE YOU AND LOOSEN THE RIBBON , AND I IN 6 WEEKS I TOOK YOU HOME. YOU WERE SO CUTE IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID !. AS YOU GREW MY HEART GREW MORE AND MORE IN LOVE WITH YOU. I AM DISABLED AND WE WERE CONSTANTLY TOGETHER. YOU FOLLOWED ME INTO THE BATHROOM,GOT IN THE SHOWER WITH ME, SLEPT WITH ME AND EVEN LAYED BY MY SIDE WHEN I WASHED CLOTHES AND DRIED THEM. WE WERE ALMOST LIKE WE WERE JOINED TOGETHER. IN A WAY WE WERE.AS WE GREW TOGETHER WE WERE NEVER APART. WHEN DAD DIED YOU SEEMED TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING HURT ME, AND YOU WOULD TRY TO LAY CLOSER TO ME WHEN EVER YOU COULD. YOU HELPED ME COPE WITH THE LOSE OF MY FATHER, YOU ALWAYS BRIGHTENED MY DAYS WITH ALL THE LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED. AND FOR THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO YOU.HE STARTED TO LIMP REALLY BAD ONE DAY AND WHEN I TOOK YOU TO THE VET, I FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAD BONE CANCER. THE CANCER GREW SO FAST AND AGGRESIVE THAT IT TOOK OVER YOUR RIGHT FRONT LEG. THERE WAS NOTHING THE VET COULD DO EXCEPT TRY TO EASE YOUR PAIN WITH PAIN MEDICATION. HE WAS DIAGNOSED ON 1/15/2010 AND THE CANCER ATE HIS LEG BONE IN HALF, I SENT HIM TO BE WITH GOD ON 4/14/2010. MY LIFE HAS FOREVER CHANGED WITH YOUR PASSING. I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. I NOT ONLY LOST THE ONLY TRUE, COMPASSIONATE AND LOVING FRIEND, I LOST ALL INTEREST IN LIFE. I HAVE NEVER KNOWN SUCH LOVE THAT YOU BESTOWED ON ME, AND FOR THAT I WILL BE ETERNALITY GRATEFUL. THANK-YOU MY BABY BOY. I HOPE WE MEET AGAIN. I LOVE YOU COBRA WITH ALL MY BEING. SWEET DREAMS MY PRECIOUS BABY. A PRAYER FOR YOU MY BABY.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Lord, please open your gates
and
come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign him to a place of honor,
for he has been a faithful servant
and has always done his best to please me.

Bless the hands that send him to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing him from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of his life
with the love he has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor him
by sharing those memories with others.

Let him remember me as well
and let him know that I will always love him.
And when it’s my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow him to accompany those
who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of his companionship
and for the time we’ve had together.

And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give him to you now.

Amen.
