Cursed be the day when you have to say goodbye to your very best friend. Pray the day never dawns, that takes away the light of your life. Though we know we cannot avoid the grief of such goodbyes, yet we crave for a furry friend, always in our lives.
It was a day, fraught with troubles, with curfews and restrictions, that our dearest friend, Max, left us for his heavenly abode, taking with him the light, though the sun shone bright. Leaving behind, his family of four, shattered and longing for his comforting hug, one last time.
He came into our lives, when he was just a wee young ‘un . Never very demanding, always compliant, he quickly worked his way, into our hearts. With no bone of animosity, he greeted everyone with a smile. Even the worst skeptic, was soon under his spell and all declared, he was most handsome.
Hurtling down the stairs each morning, to reach the bottom first, was a little game I had, with my canine friend. Dancing around for his first snack, his furry face split wide as he grinned, when I complied. To witness that delight, made the start of each new day, perfect. Lying at my feet, he seemed to know my joys, sorrows. And when he rested his face in my lap, there was no worry he couldn’t drown.
With the passing years, he aged as did I, yet he dragged himself, to follow me around. Always close at hand, he dreaded being left alone. but today I wonder where he is, after our last goodbye. It was heart wrenching to watch him, leave on his own. But I take comfort in knowing, he will greet me in heaven.
Never.setting store by his own likes and dislikes, his love for us was unconditional. Each one’s eccentricities he understood and accepted. Never expecting anything in return, he loved us, more than we loved ourselves. Our constant companion he was, every day and every night, for the past eleven years ,
I am most grateful for his life, a life that brought joy and comfort, to our little family. An honour it was to have known, a soul so noble, so bright. God accept this angel, who You lent to us, awhile.
Dedicated to our dearest Max, who left us on the 9 th of January 2022

Thats so beautifully expressed Mary. No one can replace our beloved pets. The unconditional, unsurpassable love they shower … nothing comes close to their love. Yes , they are God’s chosen ones to
fill lives with laughter and happiness. There never is a dull moment with them around.
Yes , They are God’s chosen ones.
May God give you and your family, the strength to go on without his physical presence. For he will always be around you all . 🌷
God bless Dearest Max with everlasting peace in God’s Own Land. 🌷🌷🌷

Such a beautiful dedication to Max, Mary. As usual your words have made me visualize him following you like a lamb ( Mary had a Max) and you both racing down and his grin too. He is so beautiful. It must be so devastating losing him.

Dear Mary,
I am very sorry for your loss. I can truly empathise with you as we lost our Rusty exactly 2 years ago. They are so much a part of our lives and when they leave us it is heart wrenching. May God give you the strength to handle this loss.

Deeply Mourned by All who knew Max ❤️🙏 I can never forget his abundant spirit and his wholesome Love in the few interactions I had with this golden beam of light. I know he knows that he will return in different ways to check on his Loving family over and over again.
There is never a death that separates one from these beings of light. If anything the light he kindled in our hearts will burn brighter with every passing day from memories he left behind.
Rest well my beautiful Max. Thankyou for your wonderful presence in Mary’s life and the loving lives of Jacob, Shalom and Mikhaïl and all those who ever got the privilege to know you ❤️🙏
Much Love and God Bless 🌹❤️🙏
