If It Should Be

If it should be I grow frail and weak
And pain prevents my peaceful sleep.
Then you must do what must be done
When this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand.
Selfishness might stay your hand.
But on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship take the test.

We've had so many happy years
That what's to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer. So,
When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend.
Only -- stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know, in time, you, too, will see
It is a kindness that you do for me.
Although my tail it's last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Do not grieve it should be you.
Who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years...
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Oh, Debbie I am at a loss for words! It is really rough to make that decision. Tubby was so precious to you. A year ago last august I had to make the same decision for my beloved Thai. I lost her at the age of 22. Take comfort in the fact that Tubby and Thai are at the Bridge playing together. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you, Debbie.

Debbie, Terry & Peanut,

We are so very sorry for your loss. Godspeed to the Bridge beautiful Tubby! You will forever be in our hearts!

I am so sorry this happened. Tubby, you're in a place where you feel no pain now. Enjoy the RB but please remember that your mom and family love you so much and won't forget you. You will be missed by all. The RB has a brighter sky tonight because you're their star.

I literally lost my breath when I saw the title in cat general. I raced here as fast as I could and read about dear sweet Tubby passing. I attempted to answer before the shock wore off and the tears began, but it was futile. I am so, so sorry for your loss. there are no words for a time like this, only thoughts of comfort knowing how wonderful and full Tubby's life was. He will never know how many people's lives he touched and how sorely he will be missed but he did know love and that is what it is all about.

Have a good cry Debbie knowing there are dozens of people crying right along with you.
