Our home and hearts are empty. Less than 6 months after losing our eldest son, Ernest (14) to cancer, our baby boy Bartholomew (9) passed 30 hours ago. He was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago and had been dealing wonderfully with his twice daily injections of insulin, which we put on our phone alarms to the minute and never ever missed. Somehow his organs crashed and within days and R12000 later, our vital, energetic child became a ghost. π Bereaved and broken, we hold our last child, MeScok (13), in our loving bubble, knowing that even such fierce love is just not enough. Until we meet again... #mayallbeingsknowpeace β€οΈπββ¬

maryanarchΒ My heart and love is with you both. I grieve with you. Just lost Savoir my nearly seven year old cat. She was gone in less than 48hours of pulmonary embolism and heart failure. Few persons can understand the grief of an animal. It is like if a part of you was missing. A soul mate disappeared. To calm my sorrow ai tell myself that at least these friends were loved till the very end. Contrary to so many others who are born, live and die alone and in distress. But still, my heart is we you and I send you the biggest hug ever. π€ 𧑠𧑠πβ⬠𧑠𧑠4 likesReply

vikasΒ Iβm so sorry. Itβs been nearly 3 years since my boy Walle passed. He changed my life and as silly as it sounds heβs my god now. Animals are beautiful. Cherish your memories, talk about them often. Iβm so sorry. β€οΈ5 likesReply
veronicagroenΒ I am so sorry. It never gets easier. My heart breaks for you. I hope you find peace; my prayers are with you. You gave them the biggest gift you had, love, and they returned it unconditionally. You are a great mom, and any child (human or animal) will be privileged to be yours. β€οΈ 3 likesReply
jeanne-marieΒ My deepest condolences to you and your family π€ I know your heart hurts, my hope is that you would find strength in the good life that you provided him with. You took such good care of him with his diagnosis, now he can rest easy forever. Would love for you to share some of your fondest memories that you have of him. 3 likesReply

sunshineyumΒ Thank you for all your kind and thoughtful words. πβ€οΈπββ¬ @jeanne-marie, he was a naughty little ruckus, absolutely ruled our house and had his dad wrapped around his paw. When he got the zoomies, he would flash past from the study to the balcony, zoom back in, up and down the cat tree, Tokyo drift around the corner, parkour off the couch and then zoom back. πΈ He also loved going out onto the roof and singing loudly. He loved to talk and had many different ways of vocalising - from that pigeon coo mrrrrp sound in the throat, to huffing at us if we'd scolded him for being naughty, to loud demands if dinner was even a minute late. πΉ He brought so much joy and laughter to our daily lives. β€οΈ3 likesReply

jashmentΒ Iβm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Princy last year and it was so sudden. She was gone in less than a month after her diagnosis (cancer). Itβs so so hard to lose them. I hope you find comfort in the beautiful memories you have with them. They were lucky to have you π1 likeReply
