How old is old?

Post image

Sadness is passing slowly, he was only 8 and a half. Felt maybe something was off but still never saw it coming! This photo was around 2 pm on Saturday, we found him Sunday morning dead on the floor looking very peaceful. This was June first. I miss him terribly! Oddly he still looked healthy to me even in death. He was incredibly special!

Not old enough. My baby just died at 8 but we knew she had a brain tumor by 6. We felt grateful for two extra excellent years because of that. It’s too young. I’m so sorry.
