Loss of a family member

Elmo left us this morning after losing the battle to stomach cancer. He had been a good kitty and I have always felt so guilty that he had to be locked up in a room due to my allergy. I have never imagined how sad I would be even though he's not my kitty. I thought Elmo would live for another few years and play with Aaron.

I guess we would just have to accept that Elmo is at a better place now that he doesn't have to suffer any pain. I know he has gone back to Jesus and restore to his health. I believe we will see each other again in heaven some day. I can't help but feel sad because we miss him and want him to be around.  I can't quite comprehend the meaning of life and death, nor I ever will. I keep asking myself the same question that why does God have to take away our beloved ones?

I still remember the days we were living together in Bloomington and Findlay. We had the best times together when I could walk him in our backyard and let him lay in the sun. It just makes me sad whenever I look at pictures of him. I am terrible with goodbyes and I could not stop crying when I saw him dying in front of my eyes. I hope he's enjoying his eternity at the rainbow bridge and look forward to seeing him again.

Elmo, I want to let you know that I love you and you will always be missed.
