Girly Girl left us far too early but in her short tenure
with us she taught us so much. She was
sent to my daughter to show her there is indeed unconditional
love; also that everyone makes mistakes, even if done out of love. She showed her how to enjoy the moment, look
at the world from two feet off the ground.
How to enjoy what you have instead of what you want and how what you want
is not always what you need.
Not all lessons were learned in total but they opened the
door. How ‘regret’ and ‘guilt’ are
tremendous wastes of energy with little return value.
How exterior appearances mean little when it comes to true
love and the small can be mighty.

Her eyes were chocolate and simmering with warmth, and melted
the hardest heart. But she didn’t give
her love out lightly. She was particular
and only knew two depths of affection; the deepest love and respectful
indifference.
She taught us what true strength was. The quiet, determined, accepting strength that is so hard to acquire. She would have continued to live on if given
the option, blood coming from her nose, pain racking her body, she would have
lived on. But the final lesson was the
toughest ~ to know when to let go.
Sleep softly our darling princess.
