My little Summer passed early Christmas morning :cry:
Her life was just too short, but she battled illness that I couldn't fix for just too much of it, and she earned her peace, as unfair as it is that it only came thru her passing.
I wish I had been able to help her, I look at her nekked sister Sumone and imagine what her life could have been and should have been and it breaks my heart.
She had quite a life in her early days - rescued in Oregon, then to Vancouver, she went thru a spay, then Maple Ridge, back to Vancouver and she and her sister Sumone became TV Stars
- and on to me in Victoria on October 3.
She's the only one of my 6 who figured out how to come to my bed when their cage door was closed, and I would usually find her under the turned-down quilt - her favorite place.
She would run to me when she had a breathing attack, it kills me to think she trusted me to stop them, but it comforts me to think that she found comfort in my holding her.
We spent so much time together, the others had less because they couldn't be out when she was having her meds or special foods or ensure - life revolved around her and I believe she knew that, and how special & treasured she was. So while she suffered physically I know she was fulfilled emotionally.
She was an exceptionally sweet,gentle and affectionate little girl. While her sisters were running around getting into everything, and I can only hold them a short bit before they are raring to get down and run around, Summer was always content to curl up in my hands and be kissed to sleep or lay beside me and snuggle. I guess some was due to her illness, but I'm told she was always like that even before she came to me or got ill. Just an especially calm sweet-natured kid.
I miss having to check the bed for her before I sat on it - I miss finding her there. I miss the special closeness of her - my Summer Love.
October:
November:
December - with Astoria
And Dec 24 with my brother & sister-in-law, just 16 hours before she passed:
And my very favorite picture of her - this is how I will always see her - my little angel, My Summer Love.
Mommy will always love you, baby.
