Sebastian: 8/2/97-6/11/00
Shelby, Mom, and Sebastian
This is for my sweet boy Sebastian. He died this morning, (6/11/00) suddenly, from a seizure. He was almost 3 years old, and had never had any health problems or seizures before. We were at dog training at PetSmart and he dropped on his back and started shaking. He looked at me and I don't know if he was asking for help, or trying to say goodbye, guess I'll never know. The vet worked on him and did CPR for 15 minutes, but they couldn't save him. They're going to do an autopsy to see if they can determine what killed him, but at this point they're completely bewildered. I left my house this morning to go to dog training, and came home with one less dog.
I can't believe it, I'm shocked, angry, depressed, guilty, all wrapped into one. I have another dog who now has lost her playmate, and I've lost the sweetest boy I could have hoped for. It tears my heart apart to think of him gone, forever.
Dear Father in Heaven, please watch over my sweet boy and let him play and have fun with the other animals in Heaven, so he can enjoy the rest of his life that was cut so short here on Earth. Please help comfort all of us that loved him so incredibly much, and help us to remember the good times and believe he is happy and healthy with you. Hopefully this will ease our pain and allow us to say goodbye to him more easily. Lastly, please let him know how much we love and miss him, and our lives will never be the same without him. AMEN
I will never forget you Sebastian, your adorable face will always have a spot right in my heart. And someday we will meet again and play together.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Ken, Shelby and Grandma
