One such patient, recently, has inspired me to create this Memorial page. He had the strength to wait for his owners to visit, so that they had the opportunity to tell him how much they loved him, even though he was very sick. It was only moments after they had left that I watched him staring out the window for an instant, as if saying his final good-bye to this world, content that his parents had just visited. I squeezed my daughter tight and prayed to God to help him, not realizing what that would mean, as I peered up a second later to find him slumped over. I rushed to his side and held him in my arms during his final breaths as God had graciously allowed him to cross the rainbow bridge. The grief that I experienced with his loss I am sure does not compare to that of his owners. He truly was a special boy, a tender heart and majestic spirit. The helplessness that I felt as his doctor, unable to save him, reinforced my drive to be a better doctor every day. No, I cannot save them all, but I will always strive to. I will carry his spirit with me, along with many others, as they all live on through my work.
