Saying goodbye to Sasha ❤️: It has taken me a while to write this post; for that, I am truly sorry. Truth be told, I have had tremendous difficulty saying goodbye. We had the privilege of loving this beautiful, sweet girl for six weeks of her life. While each of those days were a gift, my heart wishes for so many more. Even though she is gone, thoughts of her fill my days. I continue to be amazed by her strength, her courage and her capacity for love in a world that was so cruel to her. I miss the pitty-pat of her tap dancing feet when she was excited, the way her face would light up when I walked into a room. I miss the excitement on her face as she played with her toys. I miss the delight in her eyes when she mastered a new puzzle, learned a new command or tried a new special treat. For all these reasons, and so many more, saying goodbye to this beautiful and amazing soul has been extraordinarily difficult. So many of you reached out during her final days with messages of hope and love; please know your support didnt go unrecognized. I would read your messages to her as I sat with her head in my lap. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being there for her when she needed you most. To the amazing ladies of Lilos Promise Animal Rescue, where do I begin? You not only saved this beautiful girl from Miami, you spared no expense in caring for her in her final days. There arent enough words to thank you for all you did to save her in every sense of the word. She was incredibly lucky to have been loved by such an amazing group of people. As for me, I am so thankful that I got to spend so much time with our little angel in the last week of her life. I wish with all my heart it could have been under different circumstances, and that our farewell was a happy one. I hoped against hope and prayed with all my heart that she would have the strength to keep fighting. If love alone were enough to save her, shed still be in my arms instead of in my heart. On Friday morning, five days after she was admitted, we were told that it was time to stop fighting. She was discharged from urgent care, and we brought her home. Sasha spent her last night with her family, on her favorite blanket, in her favorite place, our bed. We all cuddled around her, hugging her, comforting her and snuggling her as we prepared to say goodbye. Our dear, sweet baby girl left this world snuggled in my lap, surrounded by those who loved her. Before she left us, she gave us one last gift. She chose us as her forever family, and we officially adopted her before she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She left this world as Sasha Hope Cola. We will never forget her. RIP, beautiful girl. Thank you for loving us. We were so lucky to have known you. ❤️
