I don't even know where to begin. My heart is broken, and my baby Tenny is gone from me forever. I helped him to the Bridge this morning at 11 am. I remained with him, whispering words of love, comfort and sorrow. Hard to believe it has only been 8 weeks since I heard that diagnosis of cancer. Two rounds of chemo did no good. As my fluffiest of all tuxies slowly faded away to a shell, I couldn't ask him to hold on any longer. No more whiny cries. No more heavy padding of the feet. No more headbumpies that sent my coffee spilling. No more good will ambasador. No more lover boy. I lost a precious member of my family, and Dakky lost his best friend.

Tenny never caused anyone a moment's pain. Why did this have to happen to him? Why? Play hard at the Bridge, Ten-Ten. Christmas won't be the same for me ever again. Give Tex and Binx my love.

Love,
Mommy
