Casey

2006 - 2021

My Last Goodbye...
I gently stroked the top of his small head and whispered into his ear, Wait for daddy, please wait for me. Casey was in terrible pain, excruciating pain. And yet while being held in my wonderful wife's arms and whimpering, Casey licked my nose. It was 4 AM this morning, the 26th of January when the doctor administered the injection that took Casey's pain away and at the same time took him from us. Any who has lost a loved pet knows the pain both Lois and I are in at this moment. Casey was 15 years and 3 months, a life of giving his friendship and loyalty. The week Casey came to live with us those many years ago, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Fortunately, the tumor was and is not malignant, but when I came home from the hospital I was so sick and weak. Casey, all 9 weeks old at the time, snuggled up to me with his tiny head buried in my neck area. From then on we were inseparable! I could go on and on with countless stories of my time spent with my little boy just as I am sure you can also with your pet. I don't know how I will overcome this pain but I know that I will. Believing that God is our father and trusting him, in my heart I also believe my little pal, my little boy Casey is now walking about in God's heavens soft meadows with lots of trees and even a fire hydrant or two. Thank you Casey, thank you my little boy, I loved and still do love you, the remaining days of my life will never be the same. If words can reach you now, please do as I ask pal, wait for daddy, wait for me. I love you Casey my heart is broken.
