It was a sad weekend at our house. We had to send one of your best friends to kitty heaven on Friday. Gussy had been sick for a long time and it we new it was time to let him move on to a better place. Daddy took you upstairs to say goodbye to him. You gave him a looonnnnggg hug and kiss...it's like you knew you were saying goodbye. Then yesterday, you were asking about him and we said "Elliana remember gussy had to go buh bye." You looked at us and it registered. You put your hands up to your eyes and cried hard. We sat on the couch as a family for about 15 minutes why you laid on daddy's chest and cried. You knew Gus was gone. You couldn't fully understand, but you knew. You can hardly put a sentance together and can't sing your ABC's yet, but you already have so much compassion and love for others, especially your animals. I was so proud of how you handled this. You let yourself cry in a way we knew you were mourning him. There are times where you won't always be happy, and that perfectly ok. When you lose a pet, or someone close, it helps me focus on what is important in life and to make every second count. Sometimes the hard things in life help make the good things brighter.
Thank you Gus for always being so patient, loving and kind with Elliana. We will sure miss you.
