The moment when
....time stands sitll
....what was is but a distant memory
....thoughts that were at the forefront of your mind fade
....your heart skips a beat and tears roll down your face
....God feels so close yet so far away
....you stop taking for granted what you treasure most
....the decisions you faced moments before seem to pale in comparison
....an average day turns into a really bad one
....your dog yelps and exists the woods walking on 3 legs
....the vet explains your options and none of them are okay
....you try to unemotionally explain the situation to your sensitive babies (after practicing countless times in your head), and the hidden meaning in your words is uncovered and sobbing follows
....pretending to be a dog disliker isn't working
....the abundance of love is undeniable because it is perfectly reflected in the immense pain
....you realize just how important a 4 legged creature can be to five 2 legged creatures
....your energetic, incredibly happy, loyal, adventurous puppy will never be the same
....goodbye is more than just a 7 letter word
Praying that God will give us clarity, wisdom, and peace as we decide the best of the worst options for our Skippy Lou.
