Truman touched so many lives and my son Brandon was there with me helping to nurse him back to health when I first brought him home. He spend many days sleeping in his room, getting lots of love (and treats  ) while getting better. He spent the entire summer in the yard wandering around and laying in the sun. He had nice warm sweaters and coats so that he would never be cold again, a wonderful vet he worked magic for him, lots and lots of love and always plenty of really good food to eat so that he would never go hungry again. Those are the things that make his time with me comforting now that we had to let him go.
We talked about what happened late last night and my son told me how he held him in his arms while he was sick. It touched my heart very deeply to know that even in the end of his short time here with us he was loved by everyone. I am so glad that not only was I able to hold him for his last breath but my husband and son were there loving him as all dogs should be loved. I also that I have 3 great men in my life that have compassion and love for all God's creatures. To see the look in a grown man's eyes for this little lost soul has touched me very deeply. I know now that I have raised a good man in my oldest son.  |
That just brought on the crocodile tears. Bless your son for being such a kind young man. You are such a good Mom raising your family to be the way they are. I woke up this morning and first thing that I thought of was Truman.
