Athena has been an Angelon earth, nw shehas her Angel wings to make it official and eternal.
My heart aches for you and we all cry with you. I will write more when I can stop my heart from crying.
I just wanted to quicklypost this photo. I went to a store I'd never been to today....just felt compelled to goin....was drawn straight to these Angel wings made out of feathers....walked out the store...pleased that I walked out empy handed. Turned, walked back in and purchased these. Told the clerk I just had ro come back and get this...didn't kow why. She laughed and said, "there must be a reason...you'll figure it out later." Came home....saw your post.....
Now I know why.....
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
We are so sorry to hear this news. May Athena run free of pain and rest in peace at the Rainbow Bridge.
Peace.
