Too short a life...but so full for what we had.
Simon left us today.
They could not define what had actually happened. We brought him to the ER Vet. They said he lost all muscle mass. They said they thought tumors..cancer. Yet when they took a look they said it was not cancer at least no tumors were seen and there was no obstruction they could see. He was just at the vet Aug 4 2009. They said he was fine, they said he looked good but needed to put some more pounds on....what could have done this so fast?????
It was only yesterday morning he told us something was wrong...it all happened so fast...
They felt no matter what sort of measures we took, he would pass. They said he was in great pain. I could not let him live in pain....but now that is allI feel in my heart.
We were there from almost the very beginning...
We were there for all of your life...we held you as you left this world...and we buried you closeso that we may always be near you.
He didn't even make it to his second birthday. It feels so horribly wrong, so cheated to take him so soon from us. I knew this day would come but I thought it wouldnt be for years. I didn't want to believe the docs when they said you would live a troubled life and not to expect much...I couldnt believe them...but now you are gone..
Simon was laid to rest by the beautiful rose bushes in our back yard. He can be seen from my daughters window. He was buried in his blanket with a picture of the family that loved him beyond words and mourns his loss I am sure for some time to come.
I am thankful to everyone who has tried to help us during Simon's short life. To all of those who watched him grow, shared his life through his journal. I am only sorry we do not have more pictures...I am sorry I haven't been here more, wrote more and shared more....
My heart feels so broken.
