Target

Our beautiful boy is gone.

His brain tumor was making it very difficult for him to stand and walk.

Although he was only with us for 5 months he captured our hearts immediately. He instantly became a part of our family. We all loved him so much.

I spent as much time as possible sitting in the Dining Room with him as he couldn't come down the stairs any more. He could always see whoever was in the living room or kitchen so he was never really alone but I felt so bad for him.

He loved to go and do his little 'romp' in the back yard, albeit only a few short seconds but the last 2 days he couldn't even do that and last night and today we couldn't let him off leash and we were by his side every time he went out because his balance was leaving him. It looked so uncomfortable for him.

God how I hated to see this again. It was so much like Dante in his last days only 6 months ago.

He spent his day today eating what ever he wanted and sleeping all afternoon.

He went to the bridge with Mommy, Daddy and Madison all showering him with love.

We miss you Target and you will always be with us in our hearts and memories.

What a darling boy, and how monstrously unfair that he couldn't stay longer with you.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

Godspeed, handsome.

My heart is breaking for you. I know it is just so extremely painful to watch their very brain taken away from them. :grouphug But he is well now. Well and whole and happy. I have told my bridge angel Minny(also brain disorder victim) to find him. Minny will take care of him and welcome him. There has never been a creature any more compasionate than Minny.

It cannot cripple love

It cannot shatter hope

It cannot corrode faith

It cannot destroy peace

It cannot kill friendship

It cannot suppress memories

It cannot silence courage

It cannot invade the soul

It cannot steal eternal life

It cannot conquer the spirit.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I am so very sorry for your loss. It is especially sad for me as Idol left at 7 years old, too. I know exactly how you feel. It is so unfair.

Oh, Liz, I can't tell you how sorry I am. So much sadness and loss in too short a time. You loved him so much, and though it's sad that he didn't get to stay longer, he knew that he was safe and cherished.

Doug and I are thinking of you and Larry with much sympathy, and sending you cyber hugs---wish we could hug you in person!
