dear mom, today i died. i was not in any pain don't worry. i was just alone. but i was so used to being alone that dying without having anyone near me was
How To Address A Letter Without Dear, familiar and warm. i had spent so many years in my kennel that i grew to love it it was the one and only place i ever
felt safe in. i guess i was unlucky. i never wondered why it should be me the one that got so unlucky while others weren't - it's just the way it is. dear mom i don't mean to make you feel bad i just wish you had known i was here. i wish that when you were looking for a friend you hadn't picked the fluffy puppy in the pet store
i wish that someone had pointed you towards the right direction i wish you had visited my home years ago and picked me instead of the purebred puppy of that friend of yours i wish that when you were thinking that you want a dog to wag its tail every time you come back home you had known that i would have done that. i wish that
when you were looking for a dog to lay on your feet while you're being lazy on the couch you had known that i would do that too. i wish that when you were looking for a dog to go hiking up in the highest mountain i would be the best company i just wish you knew that i could be anything you wanted me to be. dear mom, it's not your fault i know i had one mom
out there for me and it was you - we just never met. maybe we never met because there are so many of us and so few of you. a mom should know where to look but sometimes moms make mistakes too i only wish that you hadn't made that mistake. dear mom, don't be sorry, don't cry last night when i fell asleep i think i
saw you in my dream. you came to my kennel, opened the door and took me out a walk. then we drove around in the car, went home and i lied in my bed with my eyes wide open so i could see as much of you as i could. i know how you look like i know how you smell i know the sound of your voice and the color of your hair
you never knew mine but that's okay - i don't look or smell that special, i'm just a dog, your dog. dear mom, i'm sorry i never told you where i was i just thought you'd know. today i died happy. while i was trying to wake up i could hear your voice calling my name and it was the sweetest voice i ever heard.
goodbye, the dog you would have adopted
