I am in total shock and am crying writing this to you, SKB. I am so, SO. . . sorry that you are going through another tragedy, and I am so sorry that I was unable to send my condolences to you sooner. I have not been on HC for over a month now as my beloved Mum has been going through several very serious health conditions lately and has been hospitalized for a while. This is the first day I had an opportunity to get onto HC, and I am totally heartbroken to discover that you had lost your precious Maple and so many others have gone through losses as well. I will probably not have many chances to get onto the forum much for a while as I and my family are taking care of our Mum and she is expected to return to the hospital again in a few days, but I am sending you my deepest condolences and heartfelt hugs.

I am SO sorry for your tragic loss of your beloved Maple. My heart breaks for you and all that you have gone through lately. It is truly tragic to lose one beloved pet, but to lose two in such a very short period of time is beyond heartbreaking. I totally understand what you are going through being utterly devastated after I lost a couple of my very young, beloved hams a few years ago in a very short time, too. My heart goes out to you during this extremely painful time, and I am sending you very huge hugs. Maple was a true charmer and was loved by all of us. She will be greatly missed because she touched so many hearts during her very short life. She was really blessed to be lucky enough to have you as her precious mum, loving and caring for her to the fullest. Even though she wasn't with you as long as you had hoped, she had a lifetime of being pampered and loved. I'm glad that she was able to pass peacefully at home where she always felt safe and secure. We are all here for you, SKB. Thank you so much for allowing us to get to know your little, darling fluffy through her wonderful thread. It was so evident how much you loved her dearly and she loved you so much in return. You had such an amazing, loving, and trusting bond with one another and you gave Maple the happiest life. She will live on in your precious memories of her and in her gorgeous pictures, and her paw prints will forever be in your heart. I am sure it will give you peace knowing that her final resting place is in that lovely flower garden with all the rest of your treasured and beloved fluffies that are at the Bridge. Hugs to you and whisker kisses from Eros.

Maple, may you have grand adventures at the bridge. You were truly loved and will be greatly missed by your loving mum and all of us here at HC. Please watch over your Mum and help her find comfort knowing that you are playing happily with all of her precious fluffies that have passed to the bridge before you.
