although i don't follow any religious denomination, i stumbled across this prayer just shortly after i had to help my beautiful shepherd & companion of 11 years, make her transition. i was utterly devastated but found some peace & solace in these words. thought i would share this with you hoping it will help somewhat with her loss. much love ~

A PRAYER TO MY KAI

Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign her to a place of honour,
for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.

Bless the hands that send her to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing her from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her life
with the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honour her
by sharing those memories with others.

Let her remember me as well
and let her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to accompany those
who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her companionship
and for the time we've had together.

And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give her to you now.

Amen.

i want to say that i am truly sorry for the pain your daughter will no doubt, experience...my thoughts are with her (and you).
