Title: Purrs hugs needed please - Gizmo now at Rainbow Bridge
Post by: ChrisB on January 10, 2012, 23:46:15 PM
I noticed a lump on Gizmo's jaw today and the vet thinks she has bone cancer and it will not be treatable as removal would leave her unable to eat.   She is going in tomorrow for an x-ray/scan to be sure but it doesn't look good.   I am in shock - she seems fine in herself and was chasing around the garden this morning and has been eating OK.   She had her annual check up a month ago and was fine.   I know you can't help us but will understand.

Thank you everyone.   Our beautiful girl passed to Rainbow Bridge here at home in the arms of my partner Rick, with whom she shared a very close bond.   Such a special girl with a huge personality who will be much missed and always loved by her family, both human and furry.   We are very privileged to have shared the last 10 years with her.

The Greatest Gift


I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

So sorry Chris. 

You gave Gizmo a lovely life and a very peaceful passing and she didn't suffer at all which I hope is a comfort to you.

Gizmo what a lovely girl you are, have a lovely time at Rainbow Bridge, & say "Hi" to my Holly and Rosie, (watch Rosie though, she's a feisty one!)
