I am sorry
that it has been so long, but something very sad happened since the last time I
wrote to you. My Grandma got very sick, went to the hospital, and died earlier
this month. I never did get to see my Grandma as much as I wanted to because I
still sometimes jump when I get excited and Mom was afraid I would knock her
over. But she was always nice to me when I did see her and petted me and gave
me cookies. I know that she loved me and I think I was her favorite
grand-dog.
Mom told me
that Grandma had been the best mother ever. She had always been loving and
patient and understanding and she told her kids they could do anything if they
put their minds to it. She taught them right from wrong and how to put themselves
in someone else’s shoes to keep from making a decision they might be sorry
about later. In her younger years, she played fast-pitch softball for a team
that went on road trips around the country and she was athletic with a lot of
energy even after she got older. She loved to laugh, she loved to have
adventures and she loved life. Mom said Grandma was a truly good person who
tried to help anybody she could and that a light went out of the world with her
passing.
Mom has been
so upset because everything happened sudden-like with Grandma whom she loved
her very much, so I have had to be on my best behavior lately because she
needed me. Many nights, I would lay with my (giant) head on her chest and watch
her cry while she held on to my ears. One night, I lay across her like a big
German Shepherd blanket until finally she had to scoot me off because she said
she was being crushed. Mom was so busy with going to the hospital and the
nursing home and helping to arrange the funeral that she has not had much time
to spend with me, but I have hardly done one bad thing because I know how sad she
has been. That shows you what I good boy I am.
I told Mom
that Grandma was up in heaven now with Grandpa, her Mom and Dad and some of her
sisters, Max, the angel dog, and lots of people she loves. They are all young
again with no pain, or trouble or worry. I think they are in a big field, running
and laughing and eating and playing ball. They will wait there for us no matter
how long it takes, right by the Rainbow Bridge, to make sure they see us as
soon as we cross over.
Goodbye for
now, Grandma. We love you and will keep you always in our hearts until we meet
again.
