Duke's Prognosis*Not Good

[tatsxxx11]

Tears began to fall the moment I heard the news, Val Duke has always held a very, very special place in my heart and oh, I know he means the world to you I wish there were words to comfort you but I know, we all know there are none. Just remember we love him and you, that we're here for you. I will be keeping you both in my prayers, hoping beyond hope for a miracle, for a bit more time for you and your best friend. Please give him a big hug and kiss for me. Sending you my love and support, Val. I'm heartbroken

Oh Val, I am sitting here in tears. Duke has always been a favorite of mine..... prayers and gentle hugs sent for Duke from Nicki and me.

Thank you all so much. Your words are of so much comfort to me. I have spent the day with uncontrollable sobbing. However, I must share something with you. Duke and I were sharing the bed that Corinna made him (bless her), along with his favorite blanket. I was as close to him as I could get, petting him and trying not to cry. I was drifting off to sleep when this wave of peacefulness washed over me. Gone was the heartbreaking sadness and urge to sob. I layed there thinking how strange it was. A few minutes later, another wave. I petted Duke and begged for that peacefulness to be passed onto him. He's restless and just sleeps for short times, with a little coughing. I'm not going to make him wait until Monday afternoon. It's not fair to him. I'm crying now but it's so much less than all day today. So, maybe I did get my PT miracle, just not the one I would have really liked, which would be to have Duke well. Thanks for all the prayers. It's so good to know that so many people love my Duke.

I would like for you to know that you and Duke are in my thoughts and prayers. This post just broke my heart. I know how much Duke means to you and I am just so sorry you are going through this. Miracles are possible.

You've been in my thoughts since I saw this thread and posted earlier today. It's so hard to think about, Duke has always been a favorite of mine too. He couldn't have asked for a better mom than you Val, and I'm so sorry he has to go too soon.

Just hold him close, breath in his smell and tell him you love him.

I wish I knew what to say...I feel like I know Duke from all of your wonderful posts about him. I wish I could hug him and tell him that his mom loves him very much and a lot of people on PT love him very much, even though they may have not met him in person.

My prayers are with you and Duke.

Val, bless you for helping him not to be in pain anymore. I had to do this with my heartcat of 17 years last Dec., it is the hardest thing in the world...but the peace you felt let you know it was the right time. I'm so sorry for the loss of one so dear to you.
