It has been over a year and I am thinking of my little boy again. You were a 2.7lb deaf ferret looking for a home and someone to love you when we met. You wandered into my office instead of that busy highway close by. You taught me so much about ferrets, life, death, and love. God I miss you so much. We went through a lot together. I remember when you had your spleen removed and we were driving home from the animal hospital. I wanted to get you home as soon as possible but did not want to hit any bumps; we must have been a sight. I remember when we took our early morning walks with you on your lead. So many people waved and gave us the thumbs up.
Stuart, you have touched the lives of so many. I remember writing Stuart’s story for the F.A.I.R newsletter. So many people enjoyed it. Even now, you are having an effect at Elm Lawn where you are buried. Your section is green, plush, without weeds and the very best section in the cemetery. You even have a ferret statue permanently set in the ground. The thirty-six graves in your section all have raised and leveled head stones because of you. Because of you, many other ferrets are receiving medical care, food, a loving home and care.
Because of you, I have shared my thoughts and opinions with people all over the world about grief and what I believe comes after. Most of the people that work at the cemetery know your name and who you are. When GOD sent you to me, you had a mission and I think you accomplished it little fellow, if not let me know what else to do.
GOD BLESS you my sweet little boy.
I will love you forever, and that’s a promise.
With all my love forever,
