I lost my sweet baby Henry

It pains me to even write this into words. It hardly seems real to me.

2 weeks ago, my baby, my Henry, passed away quietly and peacefully. He was in my arms surrounded by all the love I have. I was telling him what a good boy he is, how lucky I was to be loved by him. I told him if he was tired it was ok to sleep now and that he didn't need to worry about me, his job was done.

My friend Lacey was the one person who got me through that day. If it wasn't for her directing me & driving us to the vet, I would have lost it alone with Henry.

Henry saved me every single day of the 13-plus years he was here.

I am by no means alright. I'm lost without him, to be honest. Sleep eludes me, I have no appetite, I force myself to eat. The house is so quiet it hurts. This whole thing hurts more than I ever imagined it would. I could use some support here. I'm not gonna lie. I've been through some terrible losses and events in the course of my life, but this? This makes them all seem like a cakewalk. Please reach out to me as I could surely use all the friends and love I can get right now. Hell, I'd even accept an Uber casserole.

He just was the light of my life, I've never had a connection with any animal like the one I had with Henry. He's missed more than I could ever say.

I love you, Henry. I hope we'll meet again some sunny day.
