msjpk Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I applied to GFNJ to be a foster mom. I filled application and requested a senior who perhaps needed to be re-homed. On vacation in Cape May and was notified that a 7 year old, Plummer, was being relinquished due to family hard times. Arrived at GFNJ to meet this boy and Plummer was so "natural". Came to us with a smile and tail wagging. He had long toe nails that were not being attended to and toenail infections. Poor baby. We loaded him up in our car along with Lou and took him home. This began a relationship that I am honored to have with Plummer. He fit right in and he and Lou got along. Lou would always kick grass in his face on walks, step on his toes, run to be fed first and Plummer took it in stride. A true gentlemen and so, so sweet. He would take food from your hand so softly, gentle. Needless to say, we failed fostering. I miss you and you have been gone only a hour or so. But you were miserable and not happy and stopped eating and could not walk with those hind legs giving in on you. I loved you enough to let you go from this world but not from my heart.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
