This is the brief story of our sweet Mama's last days with us.
Right after Kalamazoo, she began having issues with hard, prolonged coughing. (Tail wagging throughout. That's our Molly.) Lisa was teaching during the day and so I took Mama to the vet for several examinations and tests. Ultimately, an ultrasound showed that she was in congestive heart failure.
Despite meds to make her more comfortable and settle the coughing, she went downhill quickly. The day before Easter, Lisa made the kindest, hardest decision.
Mama's most beloved person in the world was with her when she left this world, tail wagging throughout her peaceful passing.
Lisa took this photo of Molly and you can see, despite her discomfort, she was smiling and happy. The optical illusion of the doorknob makes me smile, too. How appropriate, considering what was happening and that it was the day before Easter.
This poem expresses my own personal feelings at the loss of Mama.
We love you and we will see you again, Mama.
Rest in peace, sweet girl. xo
