Re: Hannibal departed to his new wonderful life... - thank you for allyour prayers.

Hannibal is very grateful for your love and attention and caring........he does not understand your regrets.  He left this world in the loving arms of his devoted person.............what more could he ask for???????  Calm yourself and ask Hannibal to visit you in your dreams.  He will.  He came to teach you so you can teach others.  He did a wonderful job now you must pass on what he taught you.  If he could reach out to you he would give you kitty kisses on your hand.                                                             If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: Hideyo Yamamoto To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:21 AM Subject: Hannibal departed to his new wonderful life... - thank you for allyour prayers. Hi, everyone, I first wanted to thank you all for all the prayers and encouragement and support for Hannibal – a little less than 24 hours ago, he passed away – he stopped breathing in my arms.. I wish he was at home but unfortunately we were at the vet and he was getting IV fluid I was with him the whole time..I really did not expect him to cross the bridge yesterday.. I just wanted to make him feel better and I thought that IV would have helped him.. and now I think about it, I am so sure that putting him on IV did shorten his life after all.. as always,, I have so many regrets for things I wish I had done, I had known.. or I wish I had not done.. if I had known as much as I do now.. I would have made Hannibal’s life so much better and longer ..I am so sorry for Hannibal not knowing any better but I hope I can contribute my learning experience to any other kitties out there who are fighting against CRF Hannibal was and is such a fighter.. he was the very first feral I rescued in U.S.  and I have known him over 10 years I feel so fortunate to have met him and feel honored to have met and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to take care of him.. I wish I had done a better job, Hannibal and I am so sorry that I did not pay attention well enough and took your sight way.. I know it was struggle for you but one thing for sure.. I have loved him so very much.. I loved him like there is no tomorrow .and I always will   We celebrated his departure to his new life with all other kitties last night.. we all miss him.. I am so very much going to miss holding him.. and seeing places that I used to see.. but I also know that his soul will continue to live with me.. and is still around I am still feeling numb and shock.. but I wanted to thank everyone for all the prayers.   I also wanted to thank Helen and her website on CRF support ---I have learned so much from I know for sure that without the information,, I couldn’t have taken care of him as well as I did .   Hideyo and Hannibal, my little precious hero No virus found in this incoming message.
