Farewell Cosmo

Most of us know this pain all too well.  I am devastated to deliver this news, Cosmo has been called to Heaben this afternoon. What we thought was pneunomia – maybe it had also been that – turned out to be much worse, a very aggressive cancer in the abdomen that was compromising his internal organs.  Sadly, there was nothing to be done, or hail marys to try.  He was feeling good and enjoying life with no visible symptoms until Monday.

What I would like to focus on is all the love that he gave to me, and that we were able to share with all of you.  Oh Cosmo. I wasn’t ready for this. I thought we had a lot more time. I loved you from the moment I first saw you – to the last, and every second in between. We had fun together and I will love and miss you foreber. You and your tummy buttons will always be in all of our hearts.  You have so many brothers and friends waiting for you, I know you will have a great time but we all miss you so much here on earff.

Your mobie rebiews, your fancy pants ways and your baffroom poetry will live on foreber.  Cheers to you my baby boy.  With all the love in my heart…  MM

    I will remember Cosmo forever with fond memories of the joy and smiles he brought during the last 9 months of my separation and loss of my beautiful wife. Cosmo’s mom our heart goes out to you. Thank you for your “ministry” of encouragement to those of us you never knew you were ministering to. You and Cosmo and his brothers are making a difference in people’s lives that need distractions from our own hurts and losses so that we too can continue this journey. Thank you.

    My heart is with you. We said goodbye to our beloved Bootsie in November, and our beautiful Sebastian the 21st of January. Take solice that from the moment you met him, that he never knew a single day in his life without love… That thought alone is what keeps my heart from completely shattering. Much love to you ❤ Us rattie lovers are a special breed.

    As already mentioned above sweet little Cosmo (together with Augie and Bean) has brought so much laughter and hapiness to lots of people. I hope it will bring some comfort to know he was loved by so many. It almost feels as if I have lost such a precious sweety myself. I hope it will be a relief to know that you were able to keep him from suffering! I feel very sorry for you MM and Dad? ????

Maybe they meet, then they can hab a big party wif the 20+ ratties that hab libed here over the past seben years. We always luv to see your posts. Greetings from my two aunties, mom and the undercover agents (aka my brofer, my 5 sisters and me. Mom brought us in as an Easter surprise and we could all stay)
