Gemma you had a loveable, gorgeous face with a vivacious personality that everybody remembered and loved.
You were my shadow, my baby girl, mum’s good girl who loved me unconditionally. You always knew if I was having a bad day and you would bring me your teddy bear trying to get me to play. If that didn’t work you would put your head on my lap and look up lovingly with those big brown eyes and that would make me smile because your eyes were always so irresistible to me.
You would make us laugh at your puppy dog antics; you were full of life right til the very end. We loved to call you all sorts of names, ‘ Gemima’, ‘wiggle bum’,’ fluffy bum’ and ‘puppino’ just to name a few but you never seemed to mind a bit.
We knew the day was nearing but I didn’t think it would be today. That one last car ride sitting in the back with you was the trip I dreaded the most. Still full of life, alert and responsive I felt so gutted by the decision I had to make but I couldn’t let you suffer any longer or make you suffer for that tad bit longer just because I didn’t want that day to come where we would have to say goodbye.
Before you close your eyes and I stroke you softly those big brown eyes looked at me and you said to me in your own way, ‘hey mum I know we have to say goodbye now but everything will be okay. I know this will not ease the pain you feel but please don’t worry or be too sad for me I will be in a good place ...’ watching on with a heavy heart, and tears in my eyes you had gone to sleep for the very last time and words I could not speak.
When I pull into the driveway I still look for you waiting at the gate wiggling your ‘bum’ and smiling face and the tears begin to dwell and I wander when will this pain in my heart ease.
You will forever be in my heart, my thoughts and the treasured memories we shared together will always linger on.
Until we meet again – you’ll never be forgotten, you will be loved and missed and you will always be my baby girl. x
