We had to say goodbye this morning and help our precious boy cross the rainbow bridge. We are all heartbroken.
Craig brought Brody James , along with his brother and sister, home to join our family nearly a decade ago. Three 7 week old fuzzball puppies full of energy and distinct personalities. Brody was the peacemaker among his little pack, full of disarming charm and humor. He always looked like a baby polar bear, big and beautiful. He was a powerhouse, making it great fun to pull the girls in their wagon or on their bikes. He has been right here, helping our girls grow up; being the comforter they needed whenever life seemed hard.
We ADORED our boy beyond words and our home feels very empty right now. Brody was diagnosed with cancer this spring. We knew our time left with him was short but we truly cherished every single moment we had. We followed his lead as he journeyed thru his final days and weeks, knowing he'd let us know when he was ready to cross the bridge to heaven.
This morning he let us know that he was too tired to continue on in this life. We spent time enjoying him at home before heading to the vet's office. They were incredibly compassionate, giving us time to love on him a bit more and to pray over him, thanking God for sending him to us so long ago. He was surrounded by those who loved him and whom he loved as he closed his eyes for the final time.
Our hearts are broken today, but our life has been so much better because Brody claimed us as his family.
