"At a certain part in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by, you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself: but I am this person. And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love."

Goodbye Boo

My sweet little kitten died yesterday from coxitia (sp). I was at the emergency vet with him until almost 4AM on Friday night/Saturday morning after I noticed how lethargic he had became Friday evening. They did all the could for him. I was so hopeful that he would pull through. Last night, while I babysit for my youngest 2 nieces, I heard his cry out from his bed. I went to him and picked him up and held him. He began gasping for breath. A few moments later I realized he had taken his final breath. It was so sad. I have had pets pass away before, but never as a baby. His little body stayed warm for quite awhile after he died. We held him and kissed him. My dad buried him this morning. I'm gonna miss that sweet little baby boy so much!
