Wordy Wednesday Prompt
Her fairy tale
She lived on this earth for a short time, a mere 11.5 years to be precise. Our entreaties didn’t change her destiny and ours too, we stood mutely and watched her go. The universe ignored our pleas, rejected our humble requests to let her stay with us for some more time. We still had a lot of things to do, play catch, go for long drives, be each other’s support and strength but time was not on our side.
Our little princess rode away into the sunset, alone. We were left holding on to her sweet memories. Her fairy tale ended before we could bid her a final goodbye, our unsaid words haunt us. We pray that she is in a good place and her soul is at peace, RIP Sparky.

I am really sorry. Have been following her moments via Facebook for the last year or so… I wish I had the right words to say because I know how horrible it feels to lose one who is a part of your family.
Roshan, it is like a giant grater has scrapped your heart and left it bleeding. Some days you are okay but one fine day when you see her toy or find her hair on your t-shirt, the floodgates open again. I miss her unconditional love and cuddles so much… thanks for your visit.
I’m so sorry for your loss! ♥ No words will comfort you, but just know that Sparky had a wonderful life with you and felt your love.
Thanks Debbie, I hope she doesn’t remember the times I scolded her for being naughty. I love her and miss her a lot.
I understand how painful it is. We lost our beloved Dalmatian in 2007 and I still miss her. The waves of grief do become less frequent over time; then the happy memories come to the fore.
I am so sorry for your loss, Sulekha. While nothing can replace the love Sparky gave you and the love you feel for her, maybe perhaps your loving memories of her, as expressed through these words will give you the strength to bear the loss. Take care.
Beloo, the memories do both, make me smile and cry at times. miss her a lot, thanks.
So sorry for your loss, Sulekha. I know no amount of words can comfort you, but all I can say is to think of all the good times. Stay strong.
Sid, I pray that she is at peace but when I enter the empty house, or see her pictures on the wall, I break down. A pet becomes as dear as a child, so how does a mother not cry at her baby’s untimely death? Thanks for your kind words.
I love how fondly you remember the beautiful Sparky. The loss is painful, but hope someday you will find another little Sparky to fill the void.
Thanks Rajlakshmi, at least she heard all my stories about her when I was writing for the A to Z challenge.
May she stay happy where ever she is and may you get all the strength to cope up with the loss.
Aww! Hugs, Sulekha! You miss her so much!! Wish our words could lessen your pain!
I know how hard this has been for you and the family. Love and hugs! She will always be with you in your heart!
