Today my little Pasha lost her battle of cancer. She was 15 years old, and today her little body gave up her fight, she has also been battling kidney failure. Today she could not fight anymore as her frail little body was telling me she wanted me to let go, she lost controll of all her body functions, and when I called the vet, she told me it was time.
I was with her when she took her last breath. My last words to her was to tell her I love her so much. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. But as I held her for the last time, I could almost feel the peace in her little body, and it was like she was telling me, thank you mommy, this is not goodbye, it's just I will be waiting for you with my little brother Odie, and we will be there waiting for you to cross the rainbow bridge and we will all be together again.
My little angel slept beside me for 15 years. My bed, my world, my life feels so empty, I pray God will give me the strength to know I did the right thing.
Good nite my little Pasha, I know you are with angels and your little brother Odie. I love you so much, I will think of you every day the rest of my life.
