Molly has gone to Heaven

Well Molly our Beautiful Burmese, 20 August 1997-
9 May 2008 Died peacefully in Aiden's arms.
Molly was diagnosed with Cancer on 31 March 2008.
What we have learnt from this process is that
we have very different dynamics in our house!

Keith who was brought up very English hasn't
shed a tear yet! But this was his cat!
It will happen!

It has hit Aiden really hard! He insisted on being
in the room with Molly and held her while she was
administered the injection and said
it was really sad. He wanted her eyes shut!
Keith went with him and said how proud he was
of him!

Then Emily walked up to Molly before she left and
said it is okay Molly you going to die!
When asked if she wanted to go to the vets she said
no I want to watch telly! So I stayed here with her!

When Aiden returned and all evening he burst out
into deep sobbing and in the end came to bed with
me for a while then headed down to his bed later!
He laid Molly out in an old shoe box and has her
all curled up! Very Sweet! We will have a brief
service for her today while the sun shines and
we will plant a bush over her!

And I am so sad! I love animals and what they teach
us but have never been particularly good at good byes!
The children have seen me suffering with my
grief and understand it is okay to cry.

The kids said goodbye to so sweetly yesterday and
so did our other cat! We do have a new cat coming
another Burmese and have spent the last month
enjoying Molly but her cancer progressed so quickly!
Thanks for listening.
Hugs Ruth
