    She posted on Facebook that Sterling had gone downhill. She helped him cross the bridge yesterday. (lrwig on FDMB)

    Fly free, Sterling!

    Dear Libby
    Just wanting to send more love to you and Sterling here. I always wish there were words to make this time easier - less painful - something was given to me recently and I hope maybe you will like it:

    They whom we love
    and lose are no longer
    where they were before...
    They are now forever
    in our hearts...

    And Sterling truly is forever in our hearts!

    With love always!
    Patti

    Libby - words don't help much at this time but our hearts go out to you at the loss of your sweet boy. The gift you gave, of course, was the ultimate gift of love and the most difficult one to give.

    I'm so sorry you had to let him go - but in doing so you took away his pain and left him young and free again.
    What a welcome must have been waiting for him at the Bridge - those kitties who have meant so much to all of us here on the board.

    May the wonderful memories and love you shared comfort you as you say goodbye to him and may they stay forever in your heart.

    Sending many comforting prayers and thoughts.

    Emmy & Dude (& Mittsi too)

    Libby, I knew Sterling was an acro-kitty, but by the time I came, you were no longer posting. My heart aches for you because I know how your heart aches - I pray that you will receive strength and comfort from your friends and family. When you feel up to it, I hope you can write a little tribute to Sterling so all of us newer acromoms can get to know him.

    you've been there for him when he's needed you, every step of the way.
    you were with him at the end when he needed you most, to free him of pain and suffering and send him on to god.
    you were a loyal and true friend and companion to one who loved you most in life.
    i know he is proud of you and grateful to be a beacon of light in the universe now.

    You were the best Mom Sterling could have had. Thank you so much for sticking with him through the trials of acromegaly. It's the sadest time...but we are so lucky that we can help them...he's romping with Spunky and all the others. I'm so sorry for your loss. You and Sterling will always have a special place in me heart. Jen

    Thank you everyone for the kind words...I was having a good day yesterday but last night I stayed awake most of the night expecting to hear Sterling's meows to let me know he needed his test and shot...today I am feeling an emptiness that can never be filled...I came home from work and fully expected my boy to be waiting for me at the front door like he would do every time I returned from work...We have two other cats and a dog but it's just not the same...I will try to sit down soon and write a tribute but the nerves are still too raw...Sterling didn't do any extraordinary things but he was my baby and as everyone knows when we are caregivers to these amazing acrocats we get sooooo attached :cry:
