Postsecret posted this, today.
After I read the secret, I immediately crumbled.
This July will mark four years since I had to put down my dog of 14 years. I fought it for days, but I eventually realized I was being selfish. It was time.
I did stay with her for as long as I could. Understandably, I was an emotional mess. I laid on the floor with her, hugged and kissed her. But I couldn't take it anymore and I left right before she passed.
I hadn't thought about it before, but after seeing this secret, I regret not staying with her until the very end. My heart hurts so much, knowing that her last memory of me was walking out of the room. I hate myself for that. I really do.
