Tuesday 7-3 ~ It will be today and I am devastated

I seems that at each turn our time together has been shortened. It all happened too fast.

At 12:30 I went to feed him and his face and paws were all filthy and dark, which means blood. Apparently, the tumor was bleeding some time between 10:30 and 12:30. I tried to feed him and he growled and struggled to get away from me, so I let him go. After a few minutes I went over and lay down on the floor and patted his face and he rubbed his chin on my hand and purred. When I patted his side he rolled part way over for belly rubs. But he looked awful. Not just dirty (he had actually been cleaner over the last two days on his own), but his eyes were telling me he was miserable.

I got him out from under the crib and washed his paws and face, something I had told him I would not do again. He fought me even though I was very gentle. Then I held him a few minutes and put him on the floor. He wanted to go outside, so I let him. He came right back in and went under the crib.

I am going to go spend time with him and hope he will let me brush him a little. Then I will leave at 4:00. My friend, neighbor, and cat sitter is driving me.

Please say a little prayer for him at 4:30 Chicago time - less than two hours from now. I will post on Health when I get back.

And thank you all for your caring and support.

I have been on the road traveling for the last few days and just now am catching up. I'm soooooo sorry this is happening so fast.

In the words of a very wise and kind member here "We will all be there with you". I was able to feel everyone with me, I hope you will be able to feel us with you today.

Sending strength and serenity to you both.

My heart is breaking and many tears are falling.

It is the most difficult thing to do, and the most loving. Know that he will be free of his pain, and that his love is with you always.

God Bless you both.
 
I love this quote:
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

True courage is measured equally by both holding on and letting go and it's that love that let's you know the difference.

How lucky you are to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to. You are Jeddie's hero Sheila - you have given him unconditional love.

((((Be strong my courageous friend))))
 
Some say love is holding on, some say love is letting go. Either way, you and Jeddie will always be in each others hearts. Praying for safe crossings my friend.

(((((Sheila & Jeddie)))))

There are just no words to say....just tears...tears of love, of loss. We are all here for you...may his crossing be gentle and swift. The candles are lit, and the fur angels called to welcome Jeddie to the Bridge...but Jeddie's love for you and your love for him are eternal...he will live on as long as there is a heart that remembers him, and he has many many hearts that will always remember him, for you have shared him with all of us.

Fly Free Beautiful Boy, you were so loved by so many but by none greater than you furever mom, because it was she that taught you the difference between house and home and in her heart you will always be HOME!...land ever so softly back in her heart.

I am so very sorry Sheila. This is just horrible. Dear Jeddie, fly pain free sweet boy. Your Mama loves you so much. You have to know that he knows this Sheila. He knows you tried your best for him. I am so sorry my friend. It is so sad that it has all come to this.

(((many hugs Sheila))) We are all crying with you.
 
I'm so sorry I missed this yesterday - my heart goes out to you. Love is so difficult sometimes, isn't it?

You gave him so much love during his time with you - he left knowing real love and devotion.

Sending you many comforting prayers and hugs.

Sheila,

I am so sorry. God bless you for opening your heart and home to him. Jeddie will always remember your love.

This was so hard to hear, even though I knew it was coming.

Fly free Jeddie, the pain is gone and all those goodies await you.
