Sir Woozle, My Little Knight

Sir Woozle passed away Thursday evening.
By far he has been the hardest to let go. He had been quite ill and adrenal disease was taking its toll. Lupron was no longer controlling his problem and he let me know he was ready to go. I had set up an appointment for Friday to take him to the vets to make his journey to his next life. He didn't wait that long. Thursday evening I cam home from work and he was very weak. I spent the rest of the evening with him wrapped in his favorite blanket in my arms. I packed his bags with hugs and kisses and told him not to be afraid. Shortly after 9 PM he had a mild seizure and took his last breath.
People believe in many things..... I believe in a Supreme Being....I believe that God calls all his creatures home........and in saying this, I believe that Sir Woozle gave me a glimpse of what was on the other side. When Woozle took his last breath and his little body relaxed, I shut my eyes in sadness and what I felt was extraordinary. I felt the incredible serenity and calm........ peace in every part of me.......... all I could think was, "If this is what heaven is like, I am not afraid."
My little sweetheart gave me a gift like nothing else. A moment I will never forget. I know he is happy and at peace. Its amazing how such little ones touch our lives not just in what they give us in life, but what they continue to give after.
