| Re: Maia Passed.
Slap... I can't say how sorry I am. I have only now seen this, as I have been in mourning for Fluffy since Friday when he died. He was only four weeks old, and it's killing me. Especially since I was syringe feeding him 4 times a day. The hole left behind is so hard to fill. I can't imagine how hard it would be to have a piggie for months or years and then lose them.
The video is touching. The music is so beautiful. There is just something about Cavys I can't figure out... how they touch your heart, how their innocence gives them a quality much greater than their size. It's especially difficult when one separates from the herd with a special bond, like allowing you to pick them up without running, or when one will come up to you and stand on it's hind legs, that makes you realize you have a relationship that only your and your piggie understand.
There is no consolation. Only moving on, remembering your dear piggie. I try telling myself that my other piggies are special, too. I know what Maia meant to you. Some are just irreplacable. Just remember... the life she had, YOU gave to her. You were her purpose, as she was yours. We steward the lives of these piggies, and through giving their lives meaning, we also give our own lives meaning. In a sense, we are their guardian angels. You did your job well!  |
