It's really been a very long time since I've been here, and because of that, news of our Stewie's passing is late. He passed away April 1st early in the morning. I never even knew that something was wrong with him.

Just a couple of weeks earlier we were at the vet, and he assured me that Stewie was in great condition and very healthy indeed. I feel a lot of regret and guilt, because up to now, I still think "what if?" I still remember seeing my little furball one last time as I placed him gently in his final resting place. He looked like an angel sleeping.

The hardest part was breaking the news to Robbie. He told me how much he was going to miss "the little guy" and how he thought Stewie would be waiting for him when he comes home for a visit this August.

Stewie, I know you weren't with us for very long, but when you left, you took a piece of our hearts with you. Mommy and daddy will never forget you.

( goodbye )

Instead of putting it on my userinfo page, I've decided to make a resource post.
