Date of Death:
We said goodbye to our beloved Truman yesterday. He was 13.5 and I feel so fortunate that he lived such a long life. I was his person and he was my world. Truman was our second foster fail. He and Kota (we lost her exactly 5 months ago today) were a pack. Candi called me up in April 10.5 years ago and said there was a dog returned and he couldn't be kenneled. I immediately went to pick him up. I was positive I'd let him go and he'd get adopted but at that point Truman had already had two homes and now he was back in the system. I knew if he was passed on he could end up back in that system again and there was something in his souls and those eys so we welcomed Truman to his forever home.
Truman became the sweetest boy and spent time volunteering at assisted living homes, he was excellent with kids and a true dedicated companion. He LOVED the ocean and would have a temper tantrum when it was time to leave the beach. But he loved me and I loved him. There wasn't a day that he wasn't part of my soul.
See I don't have human children and he was my child. The connection we had will never be replaced and I'll cherish forever being his Mom.
I wanted Truman with us one last Christmas but yesterday our angel Kota Mae called on Truman, she needed him for Christmas more. His passing was an end to an era for me. My hearts a bit more broken losing both of my babies so quickly and so close but this pain was worth every moment and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. May you rest easy my sweet boy. I'll love you forever and always.
