I didn't know I would lose him as quickly as I did, but in the past few days I have been preparing myself to say goodbye. Gwin was the friend I got to help me through the stresses of my autism, to help me feel less alone. In the pet shop, he was the one who chose me. He wouldn't let me put him down, a clear sign that I was the human he wanted to go home and spend his life with. We'd been inseparable ever since. He was a tough, kind, loving little man, and he'd been through so many exciting places with me. Everyone who met him instantly loved him, and I loved him with all my heart. Although I have always struggled to connect to humans, I will never have another bond like the one I had with him. I'm grateful for every single minute I had with him, and I'll never be the same without him.
He got sick and deteriorated so fast, but last night I knew he was telling me it was time. He was breathing differently, and he only wanted to be in my arms. He kept raising his head to look at me and would just look for a long time, as if he were saying goodbye. I know he had a happy life. I'm heartbroken, but I'm also grateful that although he was getting sick, he never suffered. He always felt loved and that he was the centre of someone's world. That is all that matters. I gave him the happiest life, just as he did for me.
Rest in peace, my friend. I will always love you.

I'm so sorry  It is so heartbreaking to loose such a friend. I will light a travelling candle to guide wee Gwin onto his next great adventure and through the veil. Gentle journey little friend, fly high and free. I do not know your beliefs, but often these little ones send another if they feel you need another. Keep your eyes, mind and heart open  ciao |

 I made a little memorial for him in my room. The urn containing his ashes is there in the centre, the little heart with the paws. I miss him every single day... sometimes it feels like the longer it goes the more lonely I feel without him. It's the littlest things I miss most, like when he would lay across my neck and sigh on my cheek when he was falling asleep, or the way he used to sniff my forehead for no reason. I don't feel the same without him, but I'm glad he didn't suffer, and wasn't alone. |

Condolences for sure. DIP Gwin.
These posts always make me smile and cry - smile for the heartfelt tributes, and cry because I can relate to the painful emotions that are triggered when one of our babies move on from our world, and I just can't help myself.
I'm so glad you and Gwin had so many good times and so much love to share with each other. Here's To Gwin!

I am so sorry and I am sending all my love your way in this painful time, there is nothing I or anyone can say to help you. Your memorial is beautiful and it is clear that the love and bond you two shared is still just as strong. I know what you mean when you say it's the little things, whenever I think of my Narci I always just think of her placing her paw on my foot and looking up at me. I miss that. I hope you heal, and I know your lil Gwin is prancing over the bridge, and keeping an eye on you. |
