Goodbye, dear heart

Michelle Jephcott

Gelert has been on vacation this week, staying with his best buddy, Bentley because I had to have surgery yesterday (originally scheduled for Thursday).

Last night, he ate dinner, played hard with Bentley and at bedtime, jumped up on "his" sofa, as he had every night. Sometime during the night, my dear, sweet boy squirmed his way between the end table and sofa, fell asleep and never woke up.

Bentley lay as close to Gelert as he could, doing nothing more than raising his eyes to look at his mom when she walked into the living room this morning.

He tried to protect Gelert from the men who came to take him to his final resting place.

That's the kind of friendship we could all use.

Goodbye, dear heart - I'll miss you more than you'll ever know.
