Hedgie

2014

February 15, 2014 | Missed By:Trina

This is for you, Hedgie. <3 Hedgie was born in March of 2010, and we met in June of 2011. I adopted him when he was a little over a year old. He brought out something inside of me that I didn't even know existed. I have never smiled or laughed so much before. Every day with him was exciting, and he would never turn down kisses from me. Anytime I was upset about anything, all I would need to do is hold him, hang out with him, let him walk all over me and whatever was bothering me seemed to disappear & all I was able to concentrate on was how adorable this little, huffy, spiny baby is. My time with Hedgie was not the ideal length, as I would have loved to have him around always. The time we shared together was so incredible, and so filled with love, that I can't dwell over it not being fair that he's gone, but only am I able to appreciate more than anything how lucky I am, how lucky he is, and how lucky we were to be together. Hedgie passed away in my arms on Saturday night, February 15, 2014. He was cuddle against my heart, with my arms hugging him and comforting him in his last moments as best as I could. I have never cried so much. I lost my Poppins, my Papi, my Burrito Muffin Cheesecake, my Snuffieuffagus, my Baby Boy, my Son, my beloved Hedgie. I lost my best friend. Having a best friend in life is the best thing anyone can have, and I had that. We had that. We had each other. He knew how much I loved him - I would tell him every day, multiple times a day. "You wouldn't even imagine how much I love you, Hedge. I didn't know it was possible to love so much." I am heart broken, but I need to stay strong. Penny Pinecone(Hedgie's cousin) is my other hedgehog baby, and I know she misses him just like we all do. The love Hedgie and I shared will stay with me forever, and I will continue to love Penny the way I love my first huffy child. I have learned to be strong, and appreciate even more what I have in my life. Final Gift Pet Memorial cremated Hedgie for me and my family. Having him in the house, even if I can't touch him, or kiss him, or listen to him, I am able to hold the beautiful urn he is in, and have him close to me whenever I want. I am forever thankful that he will be able to journey with me throughout the rest of my life. I love you so much, Hedge. I miss you like crazy. I hope we meet again, my baby. All of my love, Mommy Trina Everyone Knows Everyone knows the hedgehog Should be everyone's favorite mammal Man's best friend is not a dog But a much more spiny animal
