We are participating in
GIVE CANCER THE PAW!!
May 27, 2007 - October 24, 2013
I always said this is my Benny boy, he is so healthy.
Suddenly out of nowhere he did not feel like eating.
Hmmm....my Benny lives for his food.
Our lives were suddenly turned upside down on June 14, 2013.
Benny started panting late that evening.
The next four months we were talking about the "C"...
Cancer. Cancer was part of our daily vocabulary.
Liver cancer?
Can't be....Lymphoma?
We'll fight Benny.
We will FIGHT
Like a Frenchie.
I felt in my heart and through all of you....
we needed to fight.
Never for one minute would we have ever let Benny suffer.
The ER Doc agreed..."if he makes it through this evening
its worth the fight."
He is our miracle boy.
We enjoyed ever second together.
He taught us to slow down and appreciate what you have....
YOU were constantly there for us.
He was made a special cape.
The local paper even published a story.
Our Oncologist was suddenly a friend...always positive,
smiling and
upfront about Benny's prognosis.
We received our Fight Like A Frenchie bandanas from
Every day in the mail you sent Benny gifts, money, cards....
We started a
Go Fund Me page because so many of you here and on
Facebook wanted to give and give.
We walked and will walk again for the
UNITE TO FIGHT
It is extremely difficult writing this post....
I miss Benny so much.
Is it "nutty" to say I still talk to him?
Well we are nutty then....
Would I do it again?
Yes.
As long as there was no suffering involved.
My heart broke on October 24, 2013 at 2:04 p.m.
In my arms he physically left...
Run free my boy...you are definitely here with us
