Your baby was beautiful. Of course it hurts. It will for a long time. When you bond with one of these sweet souls..you give part of yourself to them..as they do you. In time..the pain will lessen and the wonderful memories will help. I lost four beautiful furbabies this year. Each day is a struggle. Since the loss of Jake last January..there has not been a day that I have not cried. Would I have given them up to not feel this pain. NO!!!!!! I would give anything to be able to do it all over again. To just hold them in my arms and tell them again how much I love them. To watch them play young again and happy. To roll on the ground and be attacked again by their playful antics. Would I do it again...in a heart beat.
Someday...when you are ready...as a tribute to your baby..find another to love like you did him. There are so many that have never felt the warm soft touch a human heart. You have that kind of heart..it would be horrible to waste that kind of love never caring or loving again.
I am so sorry you are hurting so much. If you had not loved though...you would never have known your baby. Remember that. As your baby watches over his mama from the bridge..he is still sending you his love. Hang in there..and remember..we care.
Pat and the tribe..
Jake,Ck, Sadie and Beaus spirits in my heart forever...
