in loving memory of oliver...
? to 21 Feb 2007 i remembered how i found him on the website of HRSS when he was up for adoption. his pic is still there. he was cute, a ball of fur and exceptionally good in his litter habits, i made an appointment to meet up with his fosterer and lo and behold, i passed the interview and he was in my home with gracie...
he went through a lot during the first few years of his life. changes to a new environment... i shifted place several times but he and gracie took it well. finally when i thought that i have a bigger place for them to run around in, finally no more complains about how they smell, how their fur is flying around in the house, i lost oliver...
i loved him so much... he was the gentle giant among the 4. he had such a big heart that everyone would fall in love with him immediately. he won the hearts of my mum who disliked animals with his gentle demeanour and forgiving heart. he never once whine or cry when i showed the others more love. he was never the kind to complain. he loves his food and runs and his fave spot by the window where he will watch the cars and the people go by. i always wonder what he was thinking of.
i wonder if he hates me... hates me for not taking good care of him. i told him how much i loved him and that i would miss him when he's gone. he held on so hard and waited for me to visit him after work. he struggled to greet me but he couldn't... my heart ached and i prayed so hard for him to pull through...
but he didn't make it...
my only consolation was that he died peacefully... i hope he wasn't in a lot of pain...
oliver... i love you... i know you are happy now that your suffering is over. i want you to know that i am so proud of you for trying so hard the last few days to hold on because of me and gracie. i know you have been a brave old boy...
till we meet again... pal... till we meet again...
