Monday, 12/14/09, we lost our beloved Mona Mouse. She was 12 and had been in very good health until 2 days before. Or so we thought. On Thursday she picked at her food. Friday she was laboring for breath. The vet x-rayed her and took samples and found cancer in her chest. The irony of this is she just nursed me through a year of breast cancer surgeries and chemo therapy. She stayed with me through the nausea and fevers and hair loss. She used to rub my bald head. She used to take my temp at night by laying her paw on my cheek and waking me if she thought I was too warm. Even with her illness she comforted me on Friday night while I cried myself to sleep. She layed beside me all night with her paw on my cheek. She was just such an extrodinary furry person. She saw me through the death of my father and brother and so many other hard times. I can't imagine my life without her. I miss her so much. There is this big, empty space in my heart that will never be filled. The grief is consuming me and I cry all the time. I'm at work now and crying at my desk. Is there anything that makes this better?
