Guest tarasue Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I didn't want to make a big deal on here about Tara but, I have found some nice cyber friends on here and thought I should at least let all the other GT'ers know what is going on with my little bean, Tara. Choking back the tears here, I have decided to let Tara be free to run eternally, her os is eating her up and the pain meds are not helping much anymore. Today when I took Will to have his dental, I went ahead and made her "final" appointment with Dr. Crawford. Next Thursday at 5pm my baby is going to cross over to go be with all the other angels out there. Making the appointment was one of the toughest things I have ever had to do. Who could imagine a grown man bawling his fool head off on the way home after leaving the vet today? It was bad enough that when I got there, poor Will started shaking and getting scared...my poor boy! And today I worry for him until 4:30 when I pick him up. All the pictures I have taken just don't do any justice to the fact that my baby has to leave me so soon. It's been almost eight years I have had and I pray that I could have all the lifetimes in the world with her. I'll never forget my Tara Bean! I remember our first camping trip together, how we had to huddle to keep warm because I had only packed a light blanket for summer and we ended getting a freak cold front. I cuddled Tara all through the night to keep us both warm. I wrote a poem for her that I will share with you all in the near future. It's almost finished, I just have the last verse to complete but, I am waiting until after she crosses over to finish that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenwinniesmom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'm so, so sorry that cancer is stealing another precious Grey away from us. Sadly, so many of us do know what you're going through right now. Doesn't make it any easier to say good-bye to your sweet girl, but do know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers. Cherish your time together. She knows that you love her.
