omgosh! Im so sorry to hear this news. I was hoping he'd be okay
Atleast he died with dear sweet blossom by his side.
Here's a poem that helps me with my lost ones, it does make me cry everytime though
Im Still Here
I stood beside your bed last night
I came to have a peek
I could see that you were crying
You found it hard to sleep
I whined to you softly
As you brushed away a tear
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast
I watched you pour the tea
You were thinking of the many times
Your hands reached down to me
I was with you at my grave today
You tend it with such care
I want to reassure you that I am still here
I walked with you toward the house
I gently put my paw on you
I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired And sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know That I was standing there
It's possible for me to be So near you everyday
To say to you with certainty "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly Then you smiled,
I think you knew In the stillness of that evening
I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
And say "Good night, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right,
For you to cross the brief divide
I'll rush across to greet you
And we'll stand side by side
I have so many things to show you
There is so much for you to see
Be patient, live your journey out
And then come home to be with me
