Lance,

I miss you. I love you so much I want you here. I know you are running around without pain and are able to be the dog you never were with me. But I still miss you and want you by my side.

I wish my love would have been enough to heal you and make everything better.

I wish that woman had never hurt you. But then you wouldn’t have been with me if she had never hurt you.

I want to punch the people at the bad vet’s office for manhandling you and contributing to your fear of vets. Then maybe we would have been able to find out what was wrong with you sooner. Then maybe you would still be with me.

I had no idea it would hurt this much to be without you. I hope you aren’t hurting. I hope you have met all the dogs I used to know and they have taken you in and are having a good time playing with you.

I hope Kent is taking care of you. You can tell me all about him when I find you.

I don’t know if my grandparents have met you yet, but please tell them I love them.

I miss you,

Woman
