John Henry

[JohnHenrysMom]

I had to let John Henry go Monday, October 17, his hind end went & there was nothing else we could do for him. He was my love, my peace, my confidant, my best friend, my better and my teacher. I am honored to have shared my life with him. He went at home, peacefully, with his family around him. My heart is broken but I have to search myself and find some of the incredible courage, strength, optimism & resiliency that John showed every single day of his life, for me, that is his legacy. We can never thank the kind people on this board enough for all their excellent advice, encouragement, care & concern when we started & ultimately won, our battle with Cushing's.
Sleep Well My Love,
Julie, Forever John Henry's Mom

Julie, I'm so very sorry to hear that you had to let John Henry go. I know that you knew that this day might be coming, but I somehow couldn't even believe it when I read your message just now. I know you're trying to be brave and accept that it was his time, but you need to take some time to grieve too. It's a final unselfish gift of peace to let him go, but I know that it hurts so very much too.

John was so lucky to have lived his life with you, to have known your love and to have shared laughter and good times and he will stay with you always, safe now in your heart forever.

I offer you my most sincere condolences and wish I could give you a great big hug. I will light a candle in memory of your wonderful and handsome boy John Henry tonight.

I am so sorry to hear about your precious John Henry. I wasn't expecting such devastating news and my heart is breaking for you and your family. I pray God will give you the comfort and courage you need to get through the pain and heartache. You gave John all the love you had, completely and totally, and will someday be able to draw strength and peace from that. His sweet spirit will remain close by you and he will be kept close and safe in your heart forever. {{HUGS}}
