Six years ago, on June 12, 2014, I helped Sammy leave his earthly body to run freely into the light.
I hadn't expected it; we were at the veterinarian's for a dental appointment.
The vet said that Sammy was very sick, his mouth was very messed up, and no amount of dental work or antibiotics was going to pull him back 100% into the world of the living.
I cried, sobbed, and rained tears down upon Sammy's fur.
He looked at me, and said, "Let me go now".
You can hear Sammy's meow, which sorta sounded like 'Arf!' to me!
As I type this, I look at the heart-shaped urn that holds Sammy's cremains.
Even though he was an outside-only cat, and feral until he was feeling too unwell to want to run away, his presence and purrsonality made a huge impact on me.
Hope you are resting in peace, Angel Sammy, and that you know that I will always love you.
💔💕💔

What a heartbreaking shock that must've been for you. He was darling.
ReplyDeleteHe was a very handsome boy.
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry .. their love is always with us.
ReplyDeleteTank's mouth is not in great shape. We have begun a antibacterial additive to the water bowls. IT should help all the cat's mouths. HE's still eating like a champ........but it worries me.
Purrs as you remember Angel Sammy this day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetheart and I know he enjoyed your love and appreciated your kindness. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat was extremely difficult for you. we all of us here understand and share that heartache.
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs as you remember your sweet boy. XO
ReplyDeleteYou were his best friend. ❤️️
ReplyDeleteIt's kinder to let them go when they need to go, rather than when we are ready to let them go. And are we ever ready? He's waiting for you, no longer feral.
ReplyDeleteHe trusted you enough to come to you to end his suffering. That's an honor. It doesn't matter if they don't live in your home. They touch your heart wherever they are.
ReplyDeleteI remember your post when Sammy left this world. My heart broke..it was such a sad news. Glad he had you caring and loving him. Sending hugs as you remember Sammy xo
