Eulogy to Miss Edison.
My sister has to put down her dog today. After going though the death of a beloved cat a little over a year ago, I feel her pain, in the very real sense of the word. It is amazing at times how these four legged creatures come into our lives and fill a void we often don’t even know we had. I know this time will be hard for my sister. While I felt and still feel the loss of our Blue Bengal Cat, there were still three lovely girls to cuddle, pet and purr on my lap. For my sister there was only Edison. This will make dishes, bedding and routine opening and closing of the door all the more evident by their absence.
Edison was there for some of the most trying times of my sister’s life. Walking the dog and stroking her head was on some days had to be the only activity that could seem real. And Edison adored my sister. My sister was her world and could do no wrong. I know that this unconditional and undemanding love was often that one last strand we sometimes find ourselves hanging on to.
Thank you Edison, for your devotion, love and care for my sister. Thank you for being there for her when the rest of us wouldn’t or couldn’t… You have done your job well. Rest in peace.
