Meg and Alex

She was one of the great loves of my life. He was too. And they both died within a few hours of each other on Tuesday night.

Most days when I looked at her, my heart would just flutter. She was stunning. And her little soul was just as beautiful. I hadn't seen him much in a while but the last time I did I told him I loved him and that I was still his mother. He saved my life at one point. By biting me on the head before I did something stupid. Something very, very stupid. Had it not been for him, I may not be here to write this blog.

She had been sick for a very long time. Her quality of life had deteriorated to almost nothing. She couldn't walk right anymore. She couldn't lay down and her panting was non-stop. She couldn't go on that way. It was the humane thing to do, to put her to sleep. She was ready. And now she's in heaven. I am sure that animals go to heaven. Especially pets.

But, I don't think he could take the world knowing she was no longer in it so he walked out in front of that car. Now they're buried together and they'll be together forever. They were best friends when they lived together. And now they're best friends in the afterlife. I think he actually went before she did. I'm pretty sure he wanted to be the first face she saw on the other side.

Now, they're together forever.
