Galadriel Amper Sales Rabbit finally said good-bye to us yesterday morning. Since suffering from a stroke in August, Galady hung on because every day I asked her to stay. On my birthday, we stayed home all weekend because she was slipping away but when my birthday came and went and she still greeted us with those big brown eyes, I thanked her for staying with me still.
But she was tired. I knew that. And with half her body paralyzed, that was no way to live. Vince and I sat by her in her final hours and when she started crying, we told her, "It's okay, baby. You can go, you can go." So at 2:40 AM, she finally followed the exit signs she's probably been seeing since August and went on her way.
The last 7 years and 6 months were filled with cuddles and love from the most adorable rabbit we've ever had. For once, I can't find any words to describe the heartache Vince and I are suffering. She was our baby girl. And we miss her so.

Christmas 2007 Galady, Mommy, Daddy and Matilda love you and miss you. We hope you're running free again in a land that's hopefully filled with all the Haagen Dazs ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, carrots, apples and bananas that you can eat. And be nice to Gandalf when you see her again. We miss you so.
So sorry, Frances. :(

ReplyDeleteim sorry for your loss, ate France. im so attached to my pets, too, and i cringe at the thought that there will come a time that I have to say bye to them.
ReplyDeleteOh, Frances. I'm so sorry. I hope she'll meet our beloved Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, the rabbit who left us last year on All Soul's Day, in her new happy place. I still miss her to this day. Amazing how Galady fought to be there for your birthday, she really loved you. My condolences to you.
ReplyDeleteSo sad for you guys. But she lived a full life, loved unreservedly and was much loved in return. Isn't that the whole point of living? Take comfort in that.

ReplyDelete(Galadriel's the older one, right? I remember meeting only one of your babies.)
Thanks, Chris. Gandalf's the older one--died when she was 5. Galady's about 6 months younger than Gandalfy. She passed away at almost 8 years old. Long good life!
