Default Tinwë, be at peace my brave boy.

Tinwë
28.05.16 - 07.12.18

It feels like it’s been the longest night of my life but my precious boy passed into his forever sleep this morning, his brave heart didn’t want to let go but I held him & spoke to him gently, talked about how much I loved him & how glad I was to have had him in my life, what a wonderful friend he has been & told him all about the bridge. I knew it was his time but it’s still so hard but he’s at peace now & that’s what matters most.

I will never forget that day when I went to the pet shop & there were more baby hams than I’d ever seen before, how to choose one? Well I think it was Tinwë who chose me when he jostled his way to the front of the pack & took my fingers in his little paws & looked up at me with the most endearing expression, a bond was formed right there & just continued to grow.

Not the most active or adventurous of little men but he always enjoyed his cuddle & treat time with Mum, probably loved his sand bath even more than most & kept all his treasures in there, or at least the ones that weren’t in his wheel! Adored his whimzees & his love of broccoli was legendary!

He has been a wonderful friend & brought me so much happiness in our time together, such a brave little guy always determined to keep on enjoying life in spite of the problems he had with his legs, his eyes or his ear, so patient when he needed treatment or help with things & our bond just grew stronger every step of the way.

It’s hard to sum up a life with a few words typed through tears but he was a very special & precious little soul & I’m so grateful to have shared his life.
He had a good long life & I think it’s been a happy one for him as much as me, I thought I’d been preparing myself for his time to go to the bridge for quite a while now as he grew old & frail but of course I’m still totally unprepared & my heart is breaking with grief & bursting with love & admiration for my very special little man all at once.

I’m so sad to see you go Tin but I’m comforted knowing that you are at peace now, restored to health & running free at the bridge, I’ve been blessed to have you with me for so long & now you will be forever in my heart.

He really lived up to his name both Tinwë the brave & “Little Star”.

There’s a starham waiting in the sky
One day I’ll come & meet you…

Run free, play well & find lots of broccoli at the bridge my sweet boy.

Memories of happy days.

Just prepared a box with his favourite flowers & his whimzee for his final nesting place.

Oh no, not Tinwe!!! My heart dropped and my eyes welled up with tears when I saw Tinwe's memorial thread here this morning. His memorial tribute was so beautiful and touching, and his gorgeous pics were so precious and cute. I can't stop crying as another most beloved ham had passed to the Bridge and another friend's heart is breaking. My heart goes out to you, Cypher. I am sending you tons and tons of HUGE hugs and lots of love. I know how utterly devastating and gut wrenching it is to lose a ham so dear to your heart. Regardless of how long you have with your little one, it is just never enough time. Tinwe was and always will be one of the most brightly shining stars, radiating his love to you hope even in the darkness of night and the loneliest of times. The two of you had one of the most amazing and close bonds ever, and I know the sweet and loving memories of the time the two of you shared will give you much comfort while you celebrate a life well lived and mourn over the loss of your gentle and loving warrior. He wrapped his tiny paws around your finger when he first entered into your life, and his tiny paw prints will forever live on in your heart. He tried his very best to hang on to the cherished life he lived with you and the devoted mum he loved so dearly, but sadly it was his time and he will certainly be reunited with you again one day. Until then, he will be your little fur angel watching and loving you from above. He will be in good company with so many dear friends to greet, play with, and care for him at the Bridge. Another amazing and beloved member of the EHO has been reunited with the musical and mischievous hamgang in the sky, and the sounds of their lovely music will be heard forever more. He will now be with so many of his dear friends and hamily who have passed before them, and I'm sure they all will have so many wonderful stories to share, good times to be had, and infinite amounts of love to give. Please be comforted that he had a peaceful and dignified passing being surrounded by your love and hearing your voice telling him how much he means to you. He will live on in your heart and memories always, and he will forever be remembered fondly by all of us here on HC who you shared his wonderful life with through his thread and pics. Please know that we are all here for you. HUGE hugs and plenty of love. xxx Plenty of whisker kisses from Arwen and Hinata, too.

Dearest Tinwe, you were one of those most precious hams who really touched my heart deeply, and I fell in love with you from the very beginning because your loving mum shared your adventures with all of us. Have fun at the bridge and know that you are loved by many. The final nesting box that your mum prepared for you is truly lovely and sweet, and I know it will give you much comfort being surrounded by so many of your favorite flowers and your treasured toothbrush. Shine brightly forever, sweet Tinwe. You will be very missed by us all. xxx

Thank you for your kind words & thoughts souffle, dramtree & pinkpixie.

I've buried him now, it seemed way too soon but we're having a brief break in all the torrential rain so I though I would give him a nice burial in a little sunshine, I added some broccoli to his box before we had our final goodbye whisker kisses.
It's hard letting him go so soon but he has a little corner spot in the memorial garden with Zen on one side & Zephyr on the other & I'm sure they'll take great care of him.
I've had plenty of time in the last week to think about a memorial & knew exactly what I wanted for him so that should be on it's way soon.

Such a lovely memorial for Tinwë. He was such a lovely little boy and it's so sad his time has come, but he did live a wonderful long life full of enjoyment. It sounded like you had an amazing bond too which is really special, lots of memories to treasure there. I'm sure your words reached him and he was able to let go - always comforting when their final moments are peaceful.

His final nesting place looks perfect, he'll be enjoying his favourite flowers, broccoli and whimzee for sure. Zen and Zephyr will definitely make him feel at home there.
Sweet dreams Tinwë you will be missed by us all. Hope you are doing alright cypher.

Oh help cypher, my heart fell when I saw this thread. I am so very sorry indeed. I am struggling to write the appropriate words, so thank goodness your own very moving memorial to your special Tinwe says it all. A long life, filled with all the love and care, ended in the best way as you coaxed him on his way across the bridge. Bless his little ham heart as he stayed with his Mum for as long as possible. His final resting place is perfect.
Play well little Tinwe, now strong again. Many ham friends will keep you company now so look out for your seeds and broccoli there! Send Mum a sign as we all need one from time to time. Hugs for you cypher at this heartbreaking time. X
Just to add that the middle photo of Tinwe in his bowl is the one that touched my heart.
