I get a lot of stuff from FB that I see on there but I saw this on a friend's page. They lost their 7 month old son Nov 22, 2014 to Acute Myloid Leukemia. Both him & his wife write on their page as a source of handling their grief. I told her she needed to write a book but her post today was about how sad she felt today and someone posted this for her and I thought it totally fit.

This is such a true statement. Grief is definitely the price way pay for love.

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
Michelle: thanks for sharing the post, full of wisdom. So true about grief, and sadness, being the price we pay for loving - in this context, our furry children.

Our awesome Golden Boy was diagnosed for OSA in April 2014 in the proximal humerus, front-leg amp on 05/20/2014. Finished chemo (Carbo6) on 07/10/2014. Ongoing treatment: acupuncture + K-9 Immunity Plus ( 3chews) and home-cooked no-grain diet. Stopped Apocaps because of liver issues. Liver issues: controlling altered enzymes with SAM-e and Milk Thistle. October 17: started having seizures. Taking fenobarbital for seizures. April 18: started prednisone.
I love this!!! I am soooooo sending this to my mother who thinks I am making my grief some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. GRRRRR......she doesn't get why 2015 was a hard start for me!
Anywho... thank you for sharing!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
That is just beautiful Michelle. Thank you for.bringing it to us.
And please surround your fb friend in our love.......
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!
So well said. I wish I could be that eloquent. Thank you for sharing. I feel so bad for your friends, can't even imagine.
