MOMIJI-san (January 26, 2011- May 23, 2011)
I'm not new to blogging. This isn't actually the first time for me to start a blog account. This time though, I'm not starting to blog again just so I could rant about my angsts or share my happy thoughts. This time,it's for a special reason. The kind that would forever leave a scar in my heart...
Today, May 23, 2011, is the day when the most special dog in my life, Momiji (refer to the pic above) was taken by the Lord. This may sound weird--- especially to those who are not fond of dogs--- but this cute little lap dog was practically family. My partner and I know very well that we can't have kids of our own (not unless if we consider adoption). Hence, we consider our beloved dogs as our children. Momiji was very special to us as he got all the traits that we've always wanted. He was supposed to be the last dog that we're planning to keep since his mother, Coffee, won't give birth anymore. And so when Momiji had his last breath today in our hands, we cried buckets of tears! There was an excruciating pain which really struck our hearts. We were practically crying the whole day that right now, I look like Garfield already (no pun intended). Yeah, I do look like him now from non-stop crying. My partner, on the other hand, has been suffering from a splitting headache since the afternoon.
Momiji's life ended at 9 a.m. today. His death made me realize once again that life is really too short so we should treasure every moment that we have with our loved ones. This little being also taught me how to be strong. At four months old, we saw how he fought during his last hours. Every time we called him, he would try to respond by raising his head weakly. We could see that his breathing was fluctuating but when we would tell him, " you can do it, baby.." or "do't give up, Momiji," he would take a deep breath!
Our little baby's life ended today but surely, he won't be forgotten. We would always remember the little things that we shared with him. His sweetness and unique antics will forever be etched in our hears. He's one of our angels now eagerly watching and guiding us from above.
By losing him, this day became a day of so many realizations. Thanks for teaching me so many things, baby Momiji. I will always keep them in my heart so dearly! Your memories will live on in the hearts of mommy and daddy and in this blog... =(
