Until the last breath,
Lucky was born 15 years ago premature and her mom didn’t want to feed her because she taught Lucky is not going to make it. We bottle feed her every day by coming home in the middle of the working day to give her milk and she was exchanging love. From the beginning her bright and round eyes we’re talking just love and nothing else.
She grew up under the shadow of her mom’s intelligence and she was always number 2 because her mom Binky was so strong and bold. Until her mom which was her best friend passed in 2013.
Lucky mourned for 6 months she never played with their toys anymore and she never slept in their bed after her mom’s death!
My parents took Lucky in their house and start taking care of her 24 hours and Lucky eventually become their best friend. She becomes their advocate and their live entertainment. When my dad diagnosed with stage 4 cancer she pushed him to get better by encouraging him to heal with her funny demeanors, she was forcing him to take each step without focusing on the pain and weakness created by chemotherapy!
They bonded so strong and I’m glad about this because nothing else could help them to survive these lonely years living far from family and friends. It is amazing one little tiny animal affecting our life so much and touching our heart to the deepest layer!
It is always so hard to cope with the loss of loved ones but these animals don’t talk they just communicate straight with their eyes and tails. Their vocabulary is all positive, there is no nagging, complaining, no revenge, no torturing, no sarcasm and there is no lie in their beautiful pure world!
Lucky left us on Friday afternoon in my arm when she was in heavy pain due to kidney and pancreatitis failure. She was still fighting but she was looking at us to help her to do something and there was nothing that we could do! It is so anguishing that we are so useless sometimes.
Her last breath and her last look are melting my heart but her beautiful funny 15 years of Lucky’s life will cheer me every single day.
This is a very hard step for my parents to continue without her. Her tiny clothes her food and water bowl is remaining in their house. Her bed is still under my Mom’s chair and memories of her beautiful eyes will hover until we are around.
Baby lucky thank you for all of the great moments that you shared with us with your tiny body and tiny tail.
I am sorry that I still call you baby, you were so mature and senescent but you still you looked like a poppy even two minutes before your departure.
Lucky, we were so lucky to have you. You were the glue and whatever happened in the past 2 years you gave us hope and unconditional love.
Dear Lucky there are many people without a tail who loves you so much and they will miss you forever.
