I lost my best friend, Dakota, Sunday. She had been very sick for a long while and was going downhill. The vet said it was liver/kidney problems and that she was an old dog. Dakota was 15+ years. I got her along with another dog, Rusty, 13 years ago. I lost Rusty 5 1/2 years ago to a tumor. Dakota and I helped each other through that time. I have not gotten 'over' Rusty and now I have lost Dakota. I don't believe I will ever get over losing my two best friends. Not this side of Heaven.
I had to go to the vet Sunday and let Dakota go. I could not even bring her home - she was too sick. I had a little time with her to tell her how much I love her and will always love her but I was going to let her go. When I looked into her beautiful golden brown eyes I could tell that she wanted me to let her go so she could let go of me. As I had always promised, I did bring her home to her final resting place next to Rusty.
But this is the amazing part... on the way home from the vet I was so stunned and heartbroken I could not even think. That was when I saw them... Rusty and Dakota. The scene was so beautiful words cannot describe it. Rusty came running towards me and I realized it was not me, it was Dakota. Dakota seemed a little confused until she saw Rusty and then she exploded into happiness. They were both so beautiful! Coats shiny and glistening and both of them so happy and healthy. And then I felt this assurance from God - One day I will be with them in this unbelievably beautiful place and there will be no more pain, hurt or separation. God gave me several scriptures that reinforced what I truly believe - we will be together once again.
God, grant me the healing I need now until that time.
Thank you, Gary, for your book. I BELIEVE.
I love you Rusty & Dakota!
