As a lot of you know, on January 2 of this year, my beloved companion of nine years, my child, my entire life for the most part, died.
Her death was a massive shock and a massive loss that will forever be a great pain for me.
Since Holly's death, there have been two attempts to, what I call willfully and deliberatly attempt to scar her memory and hurt the ones who knew and will forever love her. One was the mutalization of the picture I use in my signature as my memorial to this loving soul who is now in the loving arms of God and Jesus. If you had a webcam and could see me, you would see the tears as I write this plea.
I have gained advise from one of the moderators on this, and have gained approval to copy some parts of another post in another thread which tells the feeling of my fellow pet parents... Especially the one's who grieve over the loss of their pet child.
Please, for all of our sakes, take the time to read this very carefully and think of our feelings before you ask us or just post things that will hurt us.
"the love a mother ( and most fathers) feel for their children is indescribable.. no one could ever have told me or described how I would feel about my children.
I wouldn't have believed them and I wouldn't have been convinced otherwise, until of course, I held my baby for the first time and fell head over heels in love with this little creation. It truly was a love that I had never, ever felt in my lifetime.. the urge to protect and love this child and the fear of something bad happening to him was overpowering. I felt so protective.. nothing I had felt before
I will never convince you of this until you have your own child. It doesn't mean you don't feel love or want to protect those you love, but for me, the intensity is far greater between a parent and a child.
Have you ever heard the saying " I would die for my child, or I would gladly take the pain so my child doesn't have to" or things along those lines? It's that instinct that ensures our future.. protect the young and innocent, protect those who can't protect themselves - that's what I'm doing when I say I want to take the sex offenders out of the picture - I'm protecting my children."
before you make any comments or alter any photos reflecting a persons deceased pet, think about what you are doing to that person. the hurt you will bring to that person because the grief they suffer is unbareable. Please for everyones sake, keep those comments to yourself.
Signed: The human parent of a deceased pet child.
