Letting Go

May 8, 2007

I lost my best friend, Percy. I have had her for 10 years and she was all I had left of my grandpa. She died the same day as when I lost my grandpa, May 8. She was there with me everyday, everytime I went to bed and got up. Everytime I cried and everywhere I have lived. She was there.
Now she is gone and I am taking it very hard. I started to paint this when she laid there dieing. That is all I could do. I could not sleep or eat .... just sit there with her as so many times she was there with me.

About this picture:
•The purple ribbon pulling her up is for royalty. She was a pure breed.
•One feather to lift her up and a bell that will never ring again.
•A candle that has run out with blue drapery for that was my grandpa's favorite color.
•A cross on the heart that is broken.
•The sheets that the girl is laying on where my grandpa's and that is where Percy loved to sleep with him when he was alive.
•A rose and pearls are all three of our birth flower and stone. We all where born on June 8.

RIP Grandpa West (Daddy) 5/8/99
RIP Percy West 5/8/07

I am taking this so hard I had to do something for her. I miss her and I took her to be cremated yesterday. She will sit next to my grandpa. He loved her very much too.

I lost my best friend.
