I'm sorry if you've seen this already. I posted it on fb and instagram yesterday, but wanted to post it here too.
Little did we know that not even half an hour after the 1st photo was taken on Sunday, our sweet Maximus would be gone. The 2nd one was taken the night before. He was just shy of his 16th birthday & couldn't quite make it. 
We were hoping for a year after his 3rd degree heart block diagnosis, but we're thankful to have had six months.
We will all miss our precious boy, and I've lost one of my stitching buddies. His "specialty fiber" will be in so many of my stitched pieces which are now treasures. ❤
On the 23rd, it was cold enough for a fire and he was enjoying the warmth.
The last photo I have of them snuggling together was on the 26th, when it was once again warm outside.
We are so heartbroken, he was such a sweet and special boy. He loved us all and would always start purring whenever Nathan came over to him.
When he was getting worse, he always wanted to be with me when I was sitting down or when we went to bed. Ming has now taken his place doing that, she misses him too.
Earlier in the month, we sort of recreated this adorable picture of Max and Nathan.
They share the same birthday on Nov 10th, just a year apart. That will be a hard day.
So rest in peace, our precious Max. I know the last couple of months were hard on you, if only love could heal.
Through the tears, I'll press on and my next post will be a happier one. 🎃
I'm so sorry for your family's loss of Max😞What a beauty he is.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss! It is so hard to lose a pet! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read of Maximus' parting. Losing a pet is never easy, especially one you've had so long. Hope Ming can cope too.
ReplyDeleteThrough tears I type this - because I truly know how much our furry friends are loved and how much they return that love.
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to hear about Maximus. I know the pain all too well. They are like family and don't let anyone make you feel bad for mourning. Those two cats always laid together so adorable. I hope Ming can recover from mourning too. Hugs sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteI would like to express my heartfelt condolence on the passing of Maxim, who was an important member of your family.
ReplyDeleteIt was very difficult for me to say goodbye to my dog, May, who had been with me for a long time.
I deeply loved and cherished May. And I receiveda lot of love from her. I'm sure your family is the same.
I think it will take some time for you to stop crying and smile and take about him. Let's leave it to time.
Maxim must have had the happiest cat life with you and your family.
Please take care of Ming’s heart and gradually regain your strength again well.
