Feel confident knowing little Cosmo felt very ill in the moment, and he knew you were with him. You held him in your arms and you were kissing and hugging him and telling him how ver much he was love.THAT is where Cosmo would rather be than anyplace else in this world....he was nestled in his mommas arms, and you allowed his little body to relax and his little soul to be set free. You sent him on his journey to Rainbow Bridge, relaxed, and pain free....he closed his little eyes, and the very last thing he look upon was the face he loved most in the world. You held him close, he left on his journed, feeling himself wrapped tightly in his mommas arms, the place he always felt the safest in this world. He stepped off on his journey, with your scent and your voice, forever imprinted in his memory. You gave Cosmo a promise you would always take care of him and do what was best for him....you did that with this last, painful decision you made to let him go. His promise to you was to be forever faithful, loyal, devoted, and forgiving, and to be there for you. He has also kept his promise to you....he will be there to greet you when you start your journey...remember the very last things he was experiencing as he stepped away on his journey, and he carries your face, you voice, your scent, your love, and the memory that YOU gave him peaceful, pain free rest. He will be there for you too, as he always promised! Your heart will grieve, and then it will begin to heal, and you will want another baby to occupy another little place in your huge, loving heart, NOT replacing Cosmo, but joining little Cosmos memory there.
