I woke this morning at 5am. I made coffee, and sat on the porch to await the sunrise. Oscar got up ,ate breakfast and we went for a walk in the field. I sang his song, the oscar mayer bologna jingle as we shared some quiet alone time. Daddy stood waiting for us at the truck. We took his blanket, and made the tearful drive to the vets, running a little late. Daddy went in to let them know we were there, and came out to lead us into a side door, and into the examining room. The vet and assistant came in and lifted our baby onto the table. While they shaved his leg and prepared for the shot I held his face in my hands telling him to just look at me. The assistant told him he could lay down, and in a blink he was gone. I told him I loved him. We wrapped him in his blanket and took him to where Daddy had prepared a place for him and the remains of his surragate Dad, Odin. We covered our baby, while we both cried our hearts out . I called for my Dad and Odin to come and greet him, and told him I will see him again.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you. Thank you ,Kim for sending out the call for prayers, and bless all of you for your prayers and thoughts.
Just when I think there is no way I have any tears left they start again. My saving grace is the presence of my grandson. He isn't sure whats going on, but he used a lot of antics to make me smile. Mom, my husband, and I all tear up, and feel the loss. Mom thought I didn't think she felt as bad as we do. She came out to tell Oscar goodbye and said she was going to miss him too.
I look where he use to lay half expecting to see him there. It is surreal. I hurt, I'm sad, and I will miss him so much. I don't feel guilty, and I hope people who go through this , won't either. I made this decision because I love Oscar and his best interest was upper most in my mind. I admit on our way there, as I waited, and during the shaving of his little leg, I wanted to say NO. Even my husband said he sat there kind of hoping I'd say NO too. To have done that would have been for me not for Oscar.
Daddy made a beautiful white cross with Oscar and Odins names engraved on it. It helps that we are grieving together. Oscar will always be here with us. Nina
