August 2013
You were tired.
So tired.
It was almost over.
I wish I knew then
what I know now.
I would have spared you
all of those stupid
medical interventions.
But, I didn't know Abby.
***
Somehow I was going to
save you.
I moved mountains and
it ended in an avalanche.
Only dust left.
I know you understood,
I know you did.
I had to try as hard as I could.
***
But you taught me great lessons.
And I promise I won't ever
repeat the mistakes I made with you.
Even if it was out of love
and the hard painful truths
that sometimes there are no miracles.

We all have regrets afterwards. Did we wait too long? Flynn kept rallying but in the end couldn't do it any more. Did we wait a week longer than we should have? Yes most likely, but if he didn't have that last week he wouldn't have caught one last mouse. He was so proud of it so I hope that he took that memory with him.

ReplyDeleteWe've done the same things too so we understand.
ReplyDeleteWhen its our loved ones involved, we would do everything in our power for them. Hugs.

I used to say that Tungsten, my first cat, paid the price of my inexperience. But they all do, to an extent, because each cat is different, and each of its issues seem different, even if they are the same as others. I never get it right; I just get it as right as I can.
ReplyDeleteIt's often so hard at the end of a kitty's life to know what's right. You only do the best you can, and it is impossible to do more. Purrs to you.
ReplyDeleteWe've all learned from our precious cats...sometimes at their expense.
