    Forever Willa

    Last night, Willa didn't seem to feel well, and by morning, she had vomited all of her food. She ate breakfast, and seemed brighter. I left to go to the humane society, when my boyfriend called me and said that she had started urinating all over the house. I rushed home to find her non-stop vomiting and urinating blood.
    I knew that her kidneys had caught up with her, and I took her to the emergency clinic for euthanasia.
    I didn't want to hospitalize her on IV fluids, a mere temporary fix.
    It was unbelievably difficult, but in my heart I knew I had to relief her suffering. She would have been 21 on May 1.

    Dearest Willa, today you looked at me and said: Mom, I love you so much, but I am so tired. I want to eat, but I can’t. Please let me go.
    I knew then that it was time, and with such an incredibly heavy heart, I set you free. It was the right thing to do, but still, the guilt and sadness are overwhelming.
    Willa, even though you never liked the other kitties, and never stopped being feisty, I’m certain you will have an abundance of new friends in the eternal sunshine at the Rainbow Bridge.
    Forever yours, your mom.

    Rest in peace, pretty girl. Our condolences, sweetie. She is no longer suffering but happy and whole, and you will see her again, some fine day.

    Oh, Heidi, I am so very sorry. My deepest sympathy to you and your boyfriend and the other kitties and all who love Willa and grieve her and will miss her so very much. Almost 21 years old, what a wonderful long life so full of so much shared love; what a good, fine, loving and beloved kitty! May your precious memories and keepsakes help to bring you comfort.

    Loving thoughts and prayers to you, dearest Willa, now a glorious Angel, whole and healthy again at the Rainbow Bridge. Please send some loving purrrs to the hearts of your dear family members and friends to remind them that love is eternal, you are with them always, and you will all be together again, One Fine Day..

    My heart cracked at seeing her name.

    Heidi, you did the right thing. I cannot imagine the pain you are in right now. I just hope that happy memories will comfort you as time goes on.

    I am so, so sorry. Godspeed, sweet Willa.
