"The Mermaid" wrote: I just wanted to add that I hope Mermaid will share photos and stories of him with us. When my cat died many people in RL made me feel odd because I was grieving "as though I had lost a member of my family." I HAD lost a member of my family. But many people here understand. Thank you for that - I do feel like I've lost a member of my family. Because you have. He was a member of your family, just not a human member. Many times the animal members are more comforting and loving than the human members. It's my 8th wedding anniversary on Tuesday and there have always been just the three of us. :O) Have to remember the special times we all had together. Yeah, that's the way. But you will be heartsore for a long time. It has been three years since my Gnarly died at 20 and I still tear up when I look at her pictures. And she wasn't really very nice. She was just MINE for 20 years and I was hers. I can still feel her soft fur and smell her nice "clean and warm" smell when I snuggled with her---to me just as nice as that of a baby, but no milky-baby powder smell! He had the most beautiful blue eyes. It's 1:35am here so I guess I should at least try to sleep. Thank you so much for making me feel 'normal' about grieving for my 'baby'... You are better than normal! The norm is that people don't usually love pets quite as much or as deeply--as you do. Something for you to be proud of. You have a big heart. Your boy knew that and knew you did your best to take care of him. Be good to yourself and tell us all about him to help your heart heal. (When you create love it never truly dies. I really think that. The way you felt about him and he about you made a piece of the world a better place and goes on.) |

He died today.
I'm so very, very sorry to read this. I hope that in time the good memories you had with your boy will put your soul at ease. |
