I’ll never forget the day I got you from a friend. You were this little bundle of wool so tiny I closed my hands over you and you were completely enclosed. You grew up and became part of my life and then I lost you so suddenly and quick.
I will never forget the day my baby died so suddenly and so harsh. I came home and my mom told me I must take him to the vet as he didn’t look well and wouldn’t eat anything. I took him to the vet and got the shock of my life as the vet told me that he had stomach & liver cancer as well as diabetes.
I took him home with all the medicine he had to take and went to lie down for a while. He came into my room and snuggled up against me and kept nudging my arm as he just wanted to be held. Holding him in my arms I fell asleep. Later my mom came to wake me up saying I must come quickly as there is something wrong with my baby.
I went to him and my heart broke when I saw him. He was just lying there and whimpering. I went to him and touched him and stroked his head, he looked up at me and he was gone.
With tears streaming down my face I got up and walked outside crying bitterly and asking why? I don’t know why he was taken from me so quickly and so harsh. I suppose I will never know? Everytime I have cake at someone’s birthday party I always remember his first birthday. He got his own cake with a candle on and everything.
Gummy, mommy misses you more and more everyday but I will never forget you!!! Rest in peace my angel.
All my love always!!
