Gone

[ladysprite]

I couldn't make her wait.

She was worse this evening than she was this morning. She wouldn't eat at all, even when I held her, and when I picked her up she was so cold.... and she wouldn't either rest or wake up all the way.

I am blessed enough to have a good relationship with the staff of a nearby clinic, and when I called they let me come in and help her pass. It was quick, and at least she's not suffering now.

We only had her for a year and a half. It feels so much longer, and nowhere near long enough. I wish I could have done more for her. I wish I could have fixed her, instead of just worked around her problems. I wish she could have lived forever.

She was so tiny and so ridiculous and so dumb and goofy and she would run around the house in circles and leap into the air for no reason. She never figured out how to climb the stairs, or eat solid food, but what she lacked in functionality she made up for in love.

Rest in peace, Moxie kitten. I love you.

Rest in peace, Moxie. Your family loved you so much.

Crying for your loss, all the more so since you were there for me when I needed help in a similar situation. I am still grateful for your support and understanding. I'm so sorry she couldn't get better. I hope it helps a little to know that you were able to help her make the most of the time she had.

I'm glad I got to meet her. She was an adorable little Gizmo, and her palpable love will be missed. Much love to you both.

I'm so very sorry. You gave her a very good life.

Oh Becky, I'm so sorry. You gave her the best life possible.

Lots of *hugs*

Condolences. I think you did the best for her that anyone could; I wish it had been more.

What a hard thing to have to do. I'm sorry you and Moxie had to go through this.

[mamatiger.livejournal.com]

*hugs* So sorry the little mite couldn't make it. I'm glad you had friends there to help you.

I'm so sorry. She was amazing.

[catalana.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry her time with you was so short. You are in my thoughts.

[rms-butterfly.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave Moxie a good home and love while she was here. And you let her go when she needed to leave. That's all we can do sometimes to show love. I'm still very sorry because it's a hard thing to do, even when it's time. *hugs*

I'm so sorry *HUG*

[leiacat.livejournal.com]

So very sorry.

[oakleaf-mirror.livejournal.com]

Sorry it turned out this way. I'm sure you gave her a year and a half of love and life she wouldn't have otherwise had. *hugs*

[matildalucet.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Thank you for sharing her with us.

[jdulac.livejournal.com]

you have my deep sympathies and sorrow for your loss. She got to bloom for a little while due to your care, and that's a pretty prodigious feat of holding back the tide of entropy in order to create a little pocket of joy.

[guendalina.livejournal.com]

oh... sorry is just so inadequate. She enriched your life and you enriched hers. Remember what a love she was and that she will always be in your heart and think of the joy you brought her....HUGS To you both.

I'm so sorry, Becky. *hugs*

She had a *very* long life, compared to her life expectancy, because of you and all the work and devotion you put forth for her.

[joannahurley.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. *hugs*

A lovely little kitten had a chance to live, love, and be loved - you did good. But I do understand how hard it is, how unfair it is, that you couldn't do more. Hugs and comfort offered, and love, always....

[citabria]

I'm very sorry for your loss, but am glad that, when you knew it was time last night, you were able to act quickly. My thoughts will be with you today and in the days to come.

[mr-teem.livejournal.com]

What citabria said. ;_;

[duane-kc.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry for your loss. [big hug]

[deguspice.livejournal.com]

You gave her a home and a chance, what more can a kitty ask for?

[starcat-jewel.livejournal.com]

My condolences on your loss. I'm glad we got to meet her.

[rickvs.livejournal.com]

*comfort*. Thank you for improving her life.

[gyzki.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. She may have been a dim bulb, but she shed a warm light.
We will all miss her.

[jducoeur]

Sympathies...

[ladymondegreen.livejournal.com]

Sad now.

*hugs you a lot*

[new-man.livejournal.com]

M. and I were on the phone and she mentioned that Moxie didn't make it. You have my genuine sympathy. It's been a long time since I've lost a pet. It's a special, sad, kind of pain.

I'm sitting with Albert, who is sleeping in his favorite chair just out of arm's reach. I may wake him up, just do something nice for him.

Poor little critter. She had a better life than she would have had without you. She had a life, which she wouldn't have had without you.

[evcelt.livejournal.com]

Beautiful Bast giving Life,
Hail Bast, in visible form,
Casting light into the darkness,
I have come before you,
The path is opened,
The earth is at peace.

Lady Bast, accept Your child Moxie into Your presence. Grant her peace.

I think you did very well by her...
