Our Sweet Baby Emma
From the moment Daddy and I saw your little beautiful, wide-opened, golden eyes, we knew you were going home with us –where you belonged! We wanted to give you a world you deserved, and although that is impossible for any human, we did all that we could.
At 12 weeks old and barely 1.5 pounds, you became the princess of the house. We went crazy at the store getting you as many toys and things we thought you’d like. Our sweet little girl, you were so incredibly grateful. You immediately began to let us know by jumping on the kitty tower, which was fit for a princess. We had to help you since your new toy was too tall for you to reach the top; nonetheless, despite your sweet disposition — your determined and feisty spirit (just like mommy’s) — made it possible for you to conquer your new huge toy in no time at all; and it became one of your favorite toys and places for napping. However, nothing compared to sleeping in bed with Mom & Dad.
On your first night at home, we hardly slept as your purred and walked in between our pillows, thanking us and showing us how happy you were. What you didn’t know is that we were just as happy, perhaps even more so! Our lives were forever touched and changed in ways we could have never even imagined and definitely for the better. Daddy and I became better humans, as only a pure, noble, and sweet spirit such as yours could inspire one to be — the best one can be! You became our baby, our little princess, our family, our companion, and the one for whom both of us always had the same goal — to make you happy by loving, protecting, and spoiling you!
I’m so grateful to have had the privilege to love you for almost 16 years and also for not having to see you suffer from a long-dragged illness. Although it was a shock to see how your years suddenly caught up with you and there’s an enormous emptiness at home, it was better for you to cross the Rainbow Bridge, my sweetie. Our hearts could not have withstood the pain of seeing you gasping for air or in pain for an extended time. However, my mind is flooded with mixed feelings, wondering whether or not I fought hard and long enough for you, my little princess. I hope you understand and forgive me/us if we let you down. We tried to protect you until the end by preventing further suffering for you, our sweet love. Unfortunately, as humans, we are virtually impotent when it comes to illnesses and death.
Our love for you was tested unimaginably, as we had to end the suffering which afflicted you by the sudden illness(es) for the past few weeks. The options were equally agonizing — to put you through more painful testing and suffering only to risk losing you — chaotically — in the middle of it. Worse of all — allow your last minutes on this earth to be horrific or let you go peacefully, dignified, and with mommy’s love by your side — to Rainbow Bridge. So, through the fire, I walked — for you, Mommy’s sweet baby — to cross the Rainbow Bridge and begin your new life in that perfect place – the only one you deserve to be!
A place where the sun always shines, where you can breath absolute pure air — the kind that doesn’t exist in this world. A place where you can be running and playing with the thousands of birds, butterflies, and other kiddies/ pets, in between countless rainbows and waterfalls. A place where you, our clever, sweet, and feisty princess Emma, will never get tired, nor sick, nor afraid. A place where you will forever be healthy and full of vigor and receive the Divine Love from our Lord Almighty — Creator of the universe.
We believe all pure spirits, such as the ones from babies and yours, automatically return home to our Father in heaven. The place we long to be reunited with you, our sweet little princess, once we complete the “good race” in this world. We will always love you. Until we meet again, our sweet baby Emma! Mami, Papi & Furby.
