Even though Chewie has left us now, I continue to be amazed and deeply touched whenever I think about how much love Hebi, Lina, Angie, Doris and Zax have showered on little Chewie. They displayed a level of responsibility, love and care far beyond their years. They also displayed a camaraderie amongst themselves that leave us all hoping that we too have such wonderful friends in life.
As I spoke with our vet on the morning right after Chewie's burial, he too was absolutely devastated that we had lost Chewie, but we both agreed on the "greater good" that had come out of this experience with Chewie's caregivers. "I am proud to have been able to support these kids because they went all out to help Chewie", I told him. He couldn't agree more.
This is from Angie:
Thank you very much Dr Chan. We really couldn't say it enough, without you and the donors' help, chewie wouldn't have lasted very long, she would have been in pain, unable to breathe and eat properly and lastly die of a sad and painful death.
Given the circumstances, I was really glad that Hebi chose to take the surgery, we really have no right to 'put' chewie down.
She has been such a brave cat. I think she really tried very hard to survive. She was learning how to pee and poop in the tray, she was really good. We don't know what cause the blood and i guess we will never know. There were too many variables, too many hurdles to jump over, she had been fighting but I am sure she is happy now over in the rainbow bridge.
Though the pain of losing her is still very fresh, I do not regret taking care of her, ( I cannot say that for the rest of us, bt I am very certain they also have the same thoughts), in a way, Chewie taught us that love is really unconditional, and it made us better friends. Ones that will really stand by together through thick and thin.
Such short period of time, but all of us have grown to love her very much. We all had dreams of her jumping up and down, scratching the furniture and being an overall naughty kitten she's supposed to be, but I guess it was really god's will. I liked to think that we had filled her last few days with loads of love and caring, enough to last her a lifetime. I envy those whose pet are still with them, i wish chewie is still with us, but we can't. So i really hope everyone with pets will truly love and cherish them.
Thank you very much for introducing us to Dr Vijay, without his expertise, Chewie might not even had that few days, and thank you to the donors of myanimalcare.org for helping us. And especially you, Dr Chan, who help us through everything, and even cried with us when chewie was buried. There really isn't anyone that i have met with such a big heart. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your book, Over the rainbow bridge, after Chewie passed, and we tenderly cleaned her for the last time, I passed the book to that page to each and every one and I would like to think it helped us one way or the other to accept and move on.
Chewie taught me or rather allowed me love unconditionally. She had never judged, never complained, never been bad, she listens and meowed when she can. It is such a gift for us human, to be able to have pets, to be able to know love and to be able to give and receive and worry about love. I just hope that there will be more love in the future for our dear animal friends.
Thank you very much Dr Chan. Take care and much love.
Angie
You are most welcome, Angie and friends. You all take care too.
