In loving memory of Samantha

This past week was especially hard and trying. Last Tuesday we noticed a huge tumor on our 16 year old cat Samantha. The tumor had grown to the size of a softball in just a few days. Saturday the vet confirmed what we already knew in our hearts, it was terminal and she was probably in pain. We helped her into heaven the best way we could and had her put to sleep. She died in Chads arms while the kids and I waited outside. I couldnt stay in the room with her. I am so grateful that Chad was strong enough for both of us and she didnt die alone. I have such an awesome, strong Husband. The kids took it as good as we could have expected and they have been there for me. It was hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful, loving animal that I have known and loved for most of my life. Goodbye really isnt the word for it but see you later, I know she will be waiting for me at the gates when its my turn :) We love you big Momma...
