The hardest day....

Post by D-cat's Mother »

Today I had to make the hardest decision I've ever made -- to allow my best friend, my "Dammit", a rescued Siamese who graced me with his presence for the past five years, to cross over the Rainbow Bridge. We fought the good fight together, but he was in the very last stages of CRF and so... he said his goodbyes to me and I to him last night and this morning. He gave me one of his "Mom, I can do this" looks and a little nuzzle and I promised to be brave and to see him again.

It's I think the hardest day I've ever had though. I hear his impatient little call in my head and I'm still looking for him to come tap my foot and request "lap time". I know he's okay now, that he doesn't have to have anymore pills and needles and that he is free to chatter at birds in some warm and sunny spot and that he is happy and rumbling with a deep and hearty purr again....

May we meet again, my dearest Dammit, my most loving little friend. Thank you for picking me to be your "Mother."

I'm so very sorry, there is nothing harder than making that decision, my heart goes out to you.

It is obvious you loved your baby, I hope it is of some comfort to you in knowing he loved you and that you did your very best for him.

I am sorry for your loss...even when it is a decision we know in our hearts we must make...it is not easy to do...

Peace be with you and safe journey to Dammit as he crosses over the Bridge to chatter at the birds...
