Subject: Bruiser says "GOODBYE"
To all of the hundreds of lovely people who followed his sad story and
are going to miss him almost as much as Mommy,Daddy & his 5
siblings........
He passed away peacefully at 4 pm yesterday with the ISO machine,us,the
Vet & tech there to help him go....
The malignant nerve sheath tumor he had...spread around the heart...he
never cried about it.....bravest baby I have EVER known...(He was the
FHLs poster boy for a long time)
He is buried with his four brothers under a beautiful white dogwood tree
at my Moms lake home..He carries an Angel coin that matches Mommys &
Daddys......
He was ready,we were not.....
Neither his Daddy nor I have stopped crying since yesterday....I hand
fed him Gerbers for 4 years.....I should be doing that today..instead I
am alone and sad...
Heartbroken,actually!
We want to THANK.....Linda Soule....Gary from Timmys
Tonic.....Heather.....Neen...Dr Williams (Above God!) Sukie..DR Mike
Jones (Tacoma Wa) his Vet tech Trisa...Dr Darrell Kraft(Woodinville,Wa)
his cryo surgeon..The Club Med Ferrets gang.....my Club on Yahoo.....for
your HELP,LOVE,SUPPORT,TEARS,HOPE,
JOY........
MEDS........Guess it was just too late.....
He struggled from January till now.....staying here for us,I
believe.....
I never had a chance to finish my scheduled "Field of Dreams" with him
but we saw sunrises,sunsets,rain,heat,the
bay,grass,kids,birds,geese.....lots of really neat things including a
road trip to the Oregon City Frolic where Chris Mathus presented us with
one of her 1/2 Angora babies.....3 months,3 lbs.....
Dr Bruce/Bruiser/Ty Jr......Bruce/ski for short.....No one will ever
REPLACE Bruiser but this lil monster has an Angelic charm that only a
big baby can have......and as Chris says "Her babies ARE angels,in
ferret suits" I'm starting to believe her.......
So with a sunken soul....I write Bruisers final Farewell......He LOVED
us......but he loved all of you as well........
AS Mike Janke put it......there was a new star in the sky last
night....ya know Mike....you were right....WE saw it too....!
Peace & Love to all......
Missing our Bruiser.....he was our son...
Lots of Love,
Tara,Jerry & Bruiser (his last farewell)
