In the Memory of my Precious Maggie

It has been only a few months since the first time I saw you, since the first time I held you in my arms. I could never have guessed you'd slip away so easily, so early out of my embrace. You have left a big hole named 'Maggie' inside my heart which nothing else can fill, ever. I hope to meet you someday at a better place, in a much better condition. I had so much love to give you, it breaks my heart to realize that you will never return to me, not in this world. 

I am dying to hear your innocent, high-pitched voice for one last time. I was not ready to let you go, I had so much faith in you, your strength, despite all the odds. I am so proud of you for fighting it all till your last breath, for teaching me to hope against all the odds. Nothing can replace the joy and warmth you brought to our hearts. I am so sorry you had to go through so much with such a frail body. I am sorry for not being enough, for not being a better friend. I can't stop missing you, looking at your photos and videos all day long, and crying, even as I write this for you. I can't shake the idea of you returning to me off my head, the days and nights I lived hoping you would get well soon and I would cuddle the heck out of you, tease you and give you all of my love and care. 

You were the liveliest, cutest, most innocent thing ever. I will not forget the cute massages you gave me with your adorable, smoll paws. I will not forget the eyes with which you used to look at me when I force-fed the food and medicines to you, that look that said: what is happening? Why is it happening to me? I hope that you are at a much better place as I write this, and free of pain, out of misery. One of these days I will find the courage to say you goodbye, hopefully. But if there's anything I can promise you now is the space inside my heart, solely for you. You didn't stay with us for long, but you gave us so many memories to hold on to forever. We are thankful to you for that. God bless, my love.
