Oh, Susan, I'm so sorry. I'm glad you were able to say goodbye to your sweet little Leader, and that he was surrounded--literally--by a cosy symbol of your love and caring for him, and by his closest furbuddies. I'm so glad that he found you, in the first place. love and hugs, Kerryxx -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Loesch Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 9:47 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Please add my Leader to the CLS
Just as I had feared, my little miracle man, Leader, was dead when I got home yesterday evening. I'd given him a kiss and he'd meowed me a little good bye before I left him -- all wrapped up in the sweatshirt I'd slept in and cuddled warm on my bed with some of his buddies staying close. Born with feline leukemia, and my bottle baby from age 3 weeks, he outlived his 5 brothers and sisters by years - in fact he was just a couple of months shy of six years. Someone said to me yesterday that I must have given him good care -- but I know it wasn't the care he received; his littermates all got the same care and Mittens, his brother who went to live with Gloria, got better, more consistent good care. It was just the luck of the draw. I am so honored to have had him in my life for so long. He was truly amazing, and I shall miss him terribly - as I did last night when I reached out and he wasn't by my head. IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
