Goodbye My Love

I will keep this short and sweet as I like Thrift and Shout to be a happy place for us all but I wanted to let you all know that my husband and I lost our precious kitty Fudge on Monday. We are absolutely heartbroken. We got him over 12 years ago just a few months after we got married so it's always just been the 3 of us.

He hadn't been eating and was acting lethargic so we took him to the vet on Monday morning. The vet found several large tumors in his abdomen including one obstructing his intestine. The cancer had also spread throughout his lymph nodes and his liver was not in good shape as well. We were advised that surgery and chemo probably wouldn't help so we knew it was time to say goodbye. This will remain as one of the hardest moments of our lives. I miss him so much already.

Also, thanks to everyone for your support and well wishes- it has kept us going. And don't forget everyone that even in death, God is good. We have been blown away this week with the amount of grace and compassion we have received from our heavenly father. God is good!

    Have gone through this myself....3 times. It's hard. Real hard.
    But it will get better.

    We buried two best friends. I know how hard it is. He loved you so much I'm sure his last breath was a purr. XOXO Carly Carter

    As a fellow pet owner, it is never easy to say goodbye. Just know that he is looking over you and is resting peacefully in Heaven. Hugs...xo

    I am so sorry to hear this, and have had to do the same several times. It is agonizing. The verse "And He who sits on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'" has been a great comfort to me. God loves ALL His creatures, and Fudge is now safe and whole in His care.

    Lindsey, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your cat, Fudge. Only those with fur babies truly understand what you are going through. I am keeping you and your husband in my prayers. Please know that he is in heaven surrounded by other fur angels and is at peace. May your and your husband's heart be comforted by that. Take Care, Carla from California

    They entrust us with their very being... providing unconditional love and joy to our lives. The hardest decision for us is the most loving for them. I have walked in your shoes many times and will do so again in the future, "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
    Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan." My sympathy to you and your husband.. Fudge had a wonderful loving life. Michelle

    So sorry to hear of your loss, Lindsey. Our furry family members will never be forgotten. They really bring such an amazing unconditional love and the time we have with them never seems to be enough. Poor Fudge.

    I'm so sorry you lost your Fudge. I lost my dog to cancer a little over a month ago, so I know how you feel. It will get easier after awhile but you will probably forever miss him.
