Remembering Molly: A Heartfelt Farewell
In the embrace of twilight's tender sighs, there danced a little soul named Molly, a dainty beacon of love, whose presence whispered of skies. Through every ailment's cruel call, she stood, a valiant heart, undeterred by life's thorny pall. Her eyes, galaxies of trust, held a universe of grace, echoing the depths of love's eternal embrace. With trembling hands and teary gaze, we gifted her eternal sleep, a final lullaby in the arms of peace. Now, in each dawn's soft hue and twilight's gentle sweep, we'll find her in every heartstring's ceaseless, loving beat.
It Is With A Heavy Heart ..
And tear-stained eyes .. That I sit down to write this. Tuesday evening, October 3rd at 6:25pm, we said our final goodbyes to our baby girl, our faithful companion, our dearest friend - our sweet, little Miss Molly. She left us .. She left us with a void that seems insurmountable, a silence that echoes between the walls of our home, and a heavy yearning to have her back in our arms one more time. Our hearts are absolutely, without a doubt .. Broken.
Molly came into our lives as a fluffy bundle of joy, her bright eyes sparkling with a promise of unconditional love. From the first moment we met, we knew she was destined to be more than just a pet. She was family, a furry confidante, a constant source of comfort through life's highs and lows.
As the years passed, Molly grew alongside us, her paws clicking on the floors, a comforting rhythm that became the soundtrack of our days. She witnessed our triumphs and held us close in our sorrows, always a comforting presence, never asking for anything in return but our love.. And so much of that we gave her.
Her boundless ability to keep moving forward, infectious joy, and the playful spirit she exuded even when the cards were stacked against her, were a testament to her beauty of living in the present moment. She taught us the importance of finding joy in the simplest things - a warm sunbeam, a wagging tail, a gentle nuzzle - despite the amount of complicated challenges she had faced.
Molly had a knack for sensing when we needed her most. During those tough days, she would press her furry head against us, offering solace in the language only a dog can speak. It was as though she could feel our pain and was determined to heal it with her unwavering love.
And now, as we stand in the wake of her departure, we're left with memories that bring both solace and sorrow. Her favorite toy, a snippet of her hair tied in a bow, her tiny purple collar, the spot on the couch where she loved to curl up, and the spot by the shed where she'd lay down to relax her tired bones.. these are the fragments of her life that we'll hold onto tightly. There is no doubt Molly's absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her legacy lives on in the love she gave us and the memories of those things she enjoyed most. We find comfort in the knowledge that she knew she was cherished .. she was loved deeply .. every single day. So, as the tears fall, we know they are the price we pay for the privilege of having known such a beautiful soul.
In the quiet moments, we'll still hear the echo of her paws on the floor, the soft shaking off of her little body as she gets off of the couch for ice cream at 7:30pm, and her gentle, muffled bark, as she softly dreams while sleeping among the blankets and pillows. We'll remember the humble warmth of her presence and the gentleness of her spirit. Molly, you were more than a pet - you were our confidante, our comfort, our family.
As we say our final goodbye, we release you with love, knowing that you'll forever hold a cherished place in our hearts. Until we meet again on the Rainbow Bridge, sweet little Miss Molly, may you find endless soft grass to rest upon, soft blankets to lie in, warm sunbeams to bask in, and an endless supply of vanilla ice cream to eat. Keep a close eye out for us, for we will find you again soon. Your big brother Pepper is waiting for you...
You will be missed, but your memory will live on in the love that remains.
Rest in peace, our baby girl.
With love,
Mommy and Daddy
In the embrace of twilight's tender sigh, there lived a little girl named Molly, a tiny guardian of boundless love, whose heart knew only the language of unconditional devotion. Through the relentless storms of health's cruel turmoil, she clung to life's fragile thread with a strength that humbled the heavens. And when the time came, with heavy hearts and tearful eyes, we gave her the gift of eternal sleep, cradling her in the gentle arms of forever dreams. In her memory, the stars now shine a little brighter, for she was, and will forever be, our beloved constellation of enduring love.
Little Miss Molly, our light so bright,
In our hearts, you'll forever ignite.
Through fields of stars, you now roam free,
But in our souls, you'll forever be.
Your paw prints etched in sands of time,
A love so pure, a bond sublime.
With every dawn and setting sun,
Our journey together is never done.
Until we meet on that distant shore,
Where pain and parting are no more,
We'll hold you close in dreams at night,
Little Miss Molly, our guiding light.

You have a nice house.
Thank you! 😁
I'm so sorry!!!! I know how you felt about both of your dogs, how long it took you to clean the window of Pepper's nose smudges! I miss her, and Pepper, myself!
These are very beautiful words here, my friend. I love hat shot of the two of them on the fancy pants couch. Oh dear, I am so saddened by this news!
Awww... Thank you so much for the love and support over the years. I know that you always enjoyed reading about their small adventures. We had quite a few with them! It's felt pretty empty without them around. Just not the same around here. I'll get motivated to write (consistently) again once I have had time to process things. The depression doesn't help motivate me.
Thank you for the kind words and also for the appreciation of that photo. It is our favorite of them. It was taken at my parents home in Delaware. The have lots of Fancy Pants stuff.. lol. The pups always loved going there.
This is heartbreaking. I'm sorry to hear of her 'going beyond the rainbow' as someone puts it. This is a wonderful tribute, filled with so much love and remembering... Hope you find comfort in knowing that she is at peace now.
She's a really sweet warrior and she fought well. I remember her shower and haircut days...
Yes... how about those baths and hair cuts! Good memories. She was such a fighter. Faced with so much she still caught and survived many more years than we would have ever imagined.
Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate them greatly.
She sure is. It's heartwarming to think that you both shared incredible love and bond.❤️
Oh no @bdmillergallery, I'm so sad to hear about your sweet little Miss Molly. She was the most gorgeous little girl with those beautiful, trusting eyes. My heart goes out to you, no words can take away the pain, but cherish those memories, at least they can't be taken away!
Yes, it was a huge hit to our hearts. We are unsure how to navigate life without her, but she is at peace now. She had such a hard life, but not anymore. May she rest in peace. We will miss her more than anything.
I can't stop thinking in my own dog, my heart is broken rn...
Awww.. I am sorry. Losing our little furry family members is very very hard. 😢
Don't be, and thanks for sharing this it was super sad but beautiful...
Very sad to lose beloved companion. This is very tough time indeed, reminding me of when I lost my favourite cats. Molly is looked after by Peppers in another realm. They should be missing you a lot too.
She will find Pepper for sure! Thank you for the kind words.
Im sad omg rip 🙏
Awww.. Thank you
I'm so sorry. I really don't have many words. I know a post like this is coming from me one day soon and I am dreading it. I know I am miles away, but if you need something, let me know.
I hear ya. We are pretty much devastated. It's been a rough few months and then she really went down hill. House feels extremely empty. I appreciate your friendship and that helps more than you know. One day we'll have a whisky together and chat all about this stuff.
I'm looking forward to that day. I've been trying to think of the right thing to say, but they are all cliche and you've likely heard them a million times in the past weeks.
I’ve been there. My go to anymore is “I’m sorry… this sucks.” And that sounds good to me. Lol. Time really does heal. I can’t believe it’s been a week already. We just picked up her ashes. We aren’t ugly crying anymore but just the occasional sniffles cry. Getting the call her ashes arrived was tough. So amazing how 15 years with a 7 lb dog meant so much. Don’t want to but we’ll survive. Again, I appreciate your friendship.. what’s said and what’s unsaid but understood. Thanks buddy!
Anytime! I know the day is coming eventually for us.
I am so sorry, I know that I don't have any words to comfort you and your wife in this moment of profound grief. Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.
Molly was our connecting link. I was stunned when I saw her picture in one of your posts then. She was so much like my girl Zoe.
To lose a friend, a companion, a little girl, isn't easy. You were so good to her and now I guess she would be with her much loved brother Pepper, if that is any consolation.
OMG I just don't know what to say, hugs to you and your wife.
Take care.
Your comment was just perfect. It brought a smile to my face thinking of your Zoe and how she was like Molly. I will miss taking photos of her sleeping, but when the time is right I'll post some that I already have.. and think of a few good memories to go with them.
I'm very saddened to read this news, my condolences to you for your loss. 💔
She will be more than missed around here. The house feels so empty. She wasn't doing so well for a good while, so she is at peace now.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I know you will miss Molly very much. Her memories will always be with you. I still think about my buddy Roscoe and he’s been gone over 7 years now. Once again I’m sorry for your loss brother.
I remember you telling me about Roscoe when Pepper passed. So sad. Amazing how they break our hearts and leave us so saddened. She will be missed in a big way. Thank you for the kindness and sympathetic comment.
Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I know there are no words that can fill that immense emptiness, but I send you a big hug. Molly wherever she went her furry soul, must be immensely happy for all the love she received from you.
We gave her all the love we had.. most definitely. Thank you for the beautiful words and also that virtual hug. We needed it!
It's so sad to hear when someone gets so close to the heart the way we used to see in the pictures that you have so much love and I loved Molly so much myself but what can we say now. Nothing is understood here. Whenever someone leaves this world in this way, a person is living in his memories because when a person loves someone and they leave, there is a lot of sadness and regret.
Well said. Thank you for the kind words of sympathy. You always had such nice things to say about Molly when she made it into my posts.
That's right, I really liked Molly and used to look at her pictures with great interest.
Thank you @djbravo you are a special friend
Most welcome dear.
I am so sorry to hear about Miss Molly. Pets are so much more than just pets. I loved your posts giving us stories about what shewas upto, I will always remember you giving her hair cuts.
RIP Miss Molly
Hahaha.. Oh yes the haircuts! I even said before we said our final goodbyes to her, that I wished I could give her one more to send her off looking her best. She still looked cute regardless. Thank you for the comment, it made me feel good to read it and remember those grooming days.
Hehe yeah the haircuts tickled me. We have had always had big hairy dogs, German Shepherds and Alaskan Malamutes so know about grooming haha. But man when they pass away it hurts like hell,so I feel your pain.
Wow. Yeah those are big hairy dogs. Lol. Their passing hurts more than losing a human sometimes. It because they have a unique way of not speaking and yet communicating in other ways. Sometimes speaking gets in the way... if that makes sense.
This is a very nice memorial for a very beloved family member. It's the worst day one can experience after inviting the little fur babies into the home. I hope you take as long as you need to heal, but the warmth is in knowing she lived a Good Life, and that your heart has only just grown for having her.
Amen. Again, I am also sorry for your loss. One of these days I'll have time to head to DE and we can sit and talk about our fur babies. It's been a rough few months for sure.
I am so very sorry Molly has gone. I so looked forward to posts she was in. She was such a character, and a sweet little dog. This is an excellent tribute to all she was. My heart goes out to you, as I know you will be missing her very greatly.
We are heart broken but hanging in. The worst part is the quietness and having to stop the caretaking cold turkey. We gave her so much love and she needed so much support and care, that I feel helpless right now. We will miss her terribly. I am glad you enjoyed her too. Thank you for the love and support!
