RIP Lulu

An ode to my precious Lulu, who passed away yesterday.

I look for you when I come home,

You would always greet me after work.

You had the biggest brown eyes and happiest face.

You never let on how much you hurt.

 

When the Doctor told us to never expect any kids,

I wanted to tell him he was full of lies.

We already had a little kid,

Our little dog, with a personality larger than life.

 

I never dreamed the day I dropped you off,

Would be the last time I ever saw your sweet face.

I called to check on you that morning before surgery,

And the Doctor said you were doing great.

 

A few hours later, I was rushed out of a meeting,

For that terrifying phone call.

"She's not going to make it through surgery."

That's the moment I felt my heart fall.

 

You were already asleep,

You didn't know anything was wrong.

I told them I didn't want you to suffer,

But to go to Heaven, where you belong.

 

My sweet little Lulu,

We miss you more than words can say.

And even though you are physically gone,

I know you are with me spiritually, every single day.

 

 

Author's Note

My precious shih tzu, Lulu, was 3 and a half years old when she passed away yesterday morning. Her uterus ruptured and there was nothing the doctors could do. She was so very special to me and left the biggest impression on everyone she had ever met. This is a dedication to her and a way of venting for me. Thank you for reading.
