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.
