sleep tight

I always knew I'd write this post but never considered it would happen this way. Eight days ago our Cleo walked out of our lives and hasn't returned. We knew her from the day she was born 16 years ago and had hoped we'd be there with her to say goodbye at the end but sadly that isn't to be. We don't know where she went and imagining is too painful but after hunting high and low for days we have had to admit defeat. Dementia is a cruel disease and it isn't my first brush with the monster. Wherever you are my baby, sleep tight, we miss you.

I am so sorry -she was a dear little thing and I know the end is not how you imagined it would be, but try to remember the lovely 16 years you had together. It must have been very hard for you to post this. Love and hugs xxxx
