Dear Andrea,
I don't know if you will see this, but I really hope you do. You definitely didn't fail Gypsy, so please don't ever feel like you did!! You gave her the most love and care anyone ever could and you did what was right for her. I agree with the friend that said that perhaps you were meant to be distracted in that moment. Gypsy knew you loved her and she knew that it was finally her time to cross the rainbow bridge, and she wanted to spare you the heartache by moving on when she did. Sometimes the world works in ways that seem strange, or that we might not understand right away, but I absolutely, truly do believe that things happened the way they did for a reason, because it was meant to be that way, and I hope you are able to find peace in that.
I just wish there was a way to make sure you receive these words, because the fact that you feel responsible or feel that you failed her in any way breaks my heart because I know it's not the case. Gypsy loved you and still does, and she is watching over you. You were her angel, and now she is yours. You did everything perfectly.
Sending love and prayers,
A friend.
