Goodbye.
February 10th, 2010The rescue chemo held back the tumor for a week, but it raged back, growing to three times its size in two weeks. It took his ability to eat, to enjoy being touched, to breathe comfortably. He left us when he knew we were taken care of, when Derek assured him that he would be okay without his little boy. He left us quietly, gently, with the dignity that he always embodied.
We’re exhausted and so very sad. But. We have the peace of knowing we did everything we could. We have Lanty’s love, forever.
Thanks for dropping by. I'm Meg, and I write offbeat stories about media and the culture that shapes us.
Wow, I didn’t notice this entry until today. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss. Reading about Lanty’s last day brought tears to my eyes. How lucky he was to have such loving, devoted parents.
I am upset that I, too, did not see this until today. I am so sorry I wasn’t able to offer you comfort in your grief. I share your gladness that his pain and struggle are over…. *squeeze squeeze squeeze* You were the best kitty parents that a cat could have.
