A sad goodbye. We'll Miss you Hersh...


On Friday May 21st, with assistance from the vet, my in-law's dog, Hershey, passed away from lymphoma. This news came shortly after Ashley's passing. Animals leave pawprints on your heart and a hole when they are gone. My heart breaks for Jim and Linda.

 
Tribute to a Best Friend

Sunlight streams through a window pane unto a spot on the floor
Then I remember, It's where you used to lie, but now you're there no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound
Then I remember, it's where your paws would trot joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
Then I remember it can't be yours, your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall
And lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love
And keep them for my best friend until we meet above.

In Loving Memory of Hersey Bo-Bo Molloy
You were an amazing dog and you are missed- everyday.
Enjoy your popsicles in Heaven.

In addition to my already fragile state of mind ... this has made me cry, uncontrollably.

I am so sorry for (all of) your loss, please extend my deepest condolences to Aaron's parents.

<3 RIP Hershey <3
