Precious by Ann-Marie Goldstein / Momma

This is to help me say goodbye to my best girl, Precious, who died on New Year’s Eve
at home with me laying beside her.

I had prayed about a month or two ago, once she was diagnosed with dementia- in addition to her heart problems and bladder problems- although our vet said she wasn’t ready then- I prayed that she would go to her rest at home with me by her side. She didn’t like the car nor going to the vet. My baby was a shelter girl before I got her 5 years ago, and I was Blessed and Honored to have been given her, in the last years of her life.

So She passed on New Year’s Eve- probably around 1 or 2 am. I was on the carpet beside her, all night, because it was apparent that this was it. I told her that she could go, that she didn’t need to do this to herself anymore (she was a stubborn girl, like her Momma- she never ever quit, my Precious. But I held her and told her it was okay. At 5 am I noticed she was quite still and I felt her,
she wasn’t breathing.

My baby had gone. I am so grateful that this prayer was answered, but I am so sad just the same. I woke up this morning with my two wonderful kittens, Georgie and Fred, who loved Precious too…and there was no Precious waiting, sleeping by the bedroom door. I still don’t quite get it yet.

Thank you for this site and somewhere that I can say goodbye to my girl…her special urn a lovely white Grecian one, because she was such a graceful queen, is here and has been for a month now.

Thank you Precious for teaching me about Faith. Thank you for your Precious gift that you were to me. I know you are already running around with Blackie, saying, “Mom, if I knew how much better I was going to feel, and how easy I can run again, I would have done this a long time ago.
So don’t be sad.”

 

I love you my Precious. Have fun with Blackie!!!
