Cotton my grumpy chow

Dearest Cotton,

words cannot express how heartbroken i am when you passed away. people can not understand what kind of bond we have and how happy you made me. you're so young just a year and a half and it's so sudden. it's been almost a month but still i swim in grief. i regret the times i scold you for being bad and push you away because of the fur that you shed too much. i regret that i didn't spend more time with you. i will forever miss you, when i come home nobody runs to me and kiss me like i've been gone for a year, like you do cotton. i miss your grumpiness and your love. a song goes "Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow" but it hurts so much to face reality that there's no more cotton that i go home to. i hope you are happy in doggy heaven playing with the other dogs and pups. mommy loves you so much. --tina
