Our beautiful lil man Jinxy you were given your wings at 5pm last night, it was a total shock to me when you were diagnosed with cancer September last year which happened to be on the day of 10th anniversary of my own mummy's passing from the same disease - it was a horrible day that day, I took both Casper and yourself to the vet in the hope that they were just cysts not that Casper's cancer had returned already and that you had presented with it as well..... My heart started breaking for both of you more from that day..... we decided after lots of discussion that we wouldn't operate as your darling brother went through so many operations to try and get rid of the cancer only for it to return 6 mths later and we just couldn't put you through that as well, so we decided that we would leave you two to enjoy what time you had left together without any operations, we were told that you would most likely go together and it would be probably 18mths.... so that's what we did.... We had a beautiful spring and summer with you and as it turned to autumn Casper took a turn for the worse and he was given his wings on 4.4.09, we had you to the vet to make sure you were ok, your growth wasn't bad and you were realitivily healthy, still happy and eating well..... Then the tumour became very aggresive and in the last 3 weeks it easily doubled in size, we had you to the vets again only 3 weeks ago and she said you had lost considerable amount of weight but all in all you were still doing very well, but then the nasty disease took hold, so yesterday when we had our normal outdoor time and you only walked 10ft and just curled up to go back to resting we decided that you had had enough, and your sweet meow when you looked up at me and said "meeummm", i just broke down and daddy and i looked at each other and knew what we had to do...... you fought so hard sweetheart, you are such a brave brave boy my love...... I still can't believe it today i still expect you to start talking to me, your gorgeous meows that made me soo happy, we used to have wonderful conversations you and I, I am missing you so so much, we haven't told your human brothers as yet they haven't asked why mummy is so sad, but we will tell them tonight....... I purchased a new vanilla scented candle the other day, I have been lighting everynight this week and lite it as soon as we got back with you from the vets to light your way, our vet she was as lovely as ever so soft and gentle with you, and now you are playing happily again with your big brother Casper at rainbow bridge...... We love you sweet boy - Jinx, Jinxy, Jinxerelly, we are going to miss you so so much

Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts, means more than words can express. Today has been quite hard, been wanting to go and talk to him and can't, yesterday plays over in my head, the trip to the vet, Jinx sitting there peacefully watching out the window of the vet, I'm so glad yesterday was a beautiful day for him, such a lovely autumn day, with beautiful blue skies, the sun was settling in the hills around Bendigo as we travelled back home for the last time with him. I have lit the candle again tonight, I think I will continue this for quite some time, its a lovely reminder of him and his brother, I have comfort in the fact that I know they are no longer suffering and that they will now be happy and painfree in kitty heaven.....
