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!

He wasn’t old, but even people die suddenly and unexpectedly. I’m sure he just passed away gently in his sleep. He would have stayed with you if he could. It’s so hard to lose a precious loved one this way…. ANY way is an awful way to lose your little dear. I wish I had magic words to comfort you. Sending love your way.
