It's time to say goodbye soon.
Abby is such a sweet girl.
She's dying.
We've been seeing the signs since May.
She's still fiesty and strong...but we know the time is near.
What a blessing she's been to Amanda, my youngest.
I had no idea a rat could get into my heart
or make such a difference in a little girl.
But, she has.
I've seen Amanda mature the past two and half years since she adopted Abby.
She showed herself capable of handling the responsibilities of another.
Amanda's faithful in feeding, watering, and being a friend.
Now she's faithful in making sure her rat's comfortable and not hurting.
She knew the day she went blind.
From then on, she made sure Abby could sniff the treat she daily brought her.
I'm so proud of my daughter and her patient loving care for Abby.
I am dreading the goodbye.

Oh Marlena I'm so sorry to read this and I'll pray for your little girl to be brave when the time comes. What a precious tribute card you've made for her sweet Abby. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry Marlena. Abby looks like such a sweet girl. I've had 2 rats before (out of the lab), and they have so much personality. Give your daughter a hug!
