Jesse

Jesse was more than a dog. He was a beloved Gift from God and a life-lesson with fur. My husband was fighting major illnesses for a number of years, finally ending in terminal cancer. I would not have been able to get through any of those days without my lovely Jesse. He was always happy, ever the puppy and ready to play. He was always able to make me smile, and many, many days he was what kept me getting up each morning and anxious to get home at night. He was my constant companion and all it took was to look in his beautiful face to make me glad to be alive. He was so young and he had not been sick the day he died. I will never know what happened to him. He just seemed to have curled up in the yard as if he had been taking a nap, and didn't wake up.

It's like the heart just got sucked right out of the house, and I'm totally heartbroken. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing he would never have wanted me to be this sad.
