Buddy
(July 2021- September 2023)
After he defied the odds, again and again; Showed courage, strength, and learned love; Shared 570 blessed days with us, we said goodbye to sweet Buddy.
I was blessed to give him an entire 24 hours to do all of the things I knew he would love. I made sure this day was *his* day. He got to eat all the yummy snacks, go for a walk in his stroller, enjoy fresh air, visit his good friend that helped us triage Buddy after he arrived battered and bruised, venture to Starbucks for the infamous all time favorite-opossumchino, and most importantly… I got to tell him all of the things I needed him to know; He is special, he is a fighter, he is loved without condition, and that I was blessed to be his SnackLady. I showered him with all of my love.
When it was time, I held his hand, kissed his little head, and he drifted off to sleep.
I think all we could ever hope for is a peaceful goodbye; someone to hold our hand when we’re old and gray, feed us cookies, hug us and kiss us, and tell us how loved we are.
Thank you for following Buddy’s journey with us, it was an honor to share his life with you- all that he overcame and to live an extraordinarily long time past our expectations. Blessed. We were blessed. Sweet Buddy, I miss you, and I love you.
