I remember when I first saw you. You just had puppies. You weren't being treated well and I worried about you. A few months later you came to live with me.
You gave me a reason to wake up every morning. You gave me unconditional love. You never had to worry about being hungry or lonely again. It's 9 years later and you're not doing so well. You have cancer. My heart is breaking over and over again.
I feel like I failed you, Titi. I held you close to me and whispered "go to sleep now, get some rest mama. I love you so much. You're so beautiful. I love you Titi Marie."
The tears started falling as I watched you close your eyes and take your last breath. What am I suppose to do now? I know it was your time and you were tired, sick and in pain. You looked into my eyes and I knew. It was time to let you go and stop all the pain.
I will never forget you and I will always love you and remember the beautiful little dog named Titi from a long time ago.
Rest in peace, Titi Marie.
