[x-posted on monsternursery]
I have some really exciting news about the Monsters, but before I post about it, I need to share something about a very special someone in the Monster Nursery family, GoblinJack. Some of you know already, but I wanted make sure and give this the attention it deserves.
So many of you pitched in, volunteered your time, energy, funds, and prayers for GoblinJack. I will forever be grateful for all the love that friends, family, and strangers showed for a little soul that didn't deserve to be in pain.
Unfortunately, on the morning February 6th, little GoblinJack lost his battle with cancer and passed away peacefully in my arms and in his loving home.
I couldn't post publicly about this until now because it has been too emotional for me (even now I'm in tears), but I know that there are a lot of people who cared about him a lot and needed to know. Please know that all of the love you showed for him was not in vain, and he lived a lot longer and in less pain than he would of without all of the help he received from others.
He was so appreciative of everything, and showed more love in his short time here than most people do in their whole lives. He is missed every day, but I try to keep the thought that he's not in pain anymore in my heart. He was one of the most amazing souls I have ever had the privelge of getting to know, and I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to be his mom and have him in my life. His little urn lives on my nightstand, and his memory and life will live in our hearts forever. He was so special and I know that our family is so much better having had him in our lives. I wish that I could have been able to heal him, protect him from the pain, but in the end all I could do was make things easier for him while he was here. He certainly did not deserve such a hard life (he was abused and abandoned before we got him from the ASPCA), but if I had to do it all over again, I would have brought him home with us in a heartbeat.
So thank you. Thank you for all of the support, prayers, donations, and love that was given to Jack. He may not have known, but his life was just a little more comfortable while he was here because of it.
And this is a little video of GoblinJack giving me 'high five' (for a treat). He could do that, 'shake hands', 'wave', 'sit', and dance around. He loved doing this and it would perk him up a lot. This is especially for photosexual, because I do believe I promised a video of this for him. :)
