Your story brought tears to my eyes.
I want to hug your wife (and you!) for your love and patience with Ernie as he aged. That is really true love.
I have 2 boys that will be 9 years old this year. They are active, happy, bright eyed, full of life & love! I wish they would NEVER age, but I know that I would do ANYTHING that I need to, to make sure they always feel loved, safe, cared for, clean, fed and anything else I can do. They are sooo worth it!
RIP Ernie! You are such a lucky little boy to have the parents you have! (((HUGS)))
