Ben,
Izzy's brother, who was known as the yellow boy passed away this morning.
When Izzy
started to get really sick about a month ago, Ben started to get sick around
that time. This Saturday he was fine, playing and running around. Sunday
evening is when he got really sick.
I was told
he had pneumonia and a collapsed lung. He barely made it through the night but
he did. This morning my mom was on the phone with Chris aka Grandma Hooker ...
and she told me that Ben had passed away.
We released
a light pink balloon for Izzy and a yellow balloon for Ben. While they were
flying away in the air, one of them was higher and far away from the other ...
then they got close and it looked like they touched! I believe it was Ben's
balloon catching up to Izzy's.
It reminds me
in a way of 'Where the Red Fern Grows' ... which happens to be about
brother and sister coonhounds! Where one sibling dies and the one left misses
them so much, they die shortly after.
I love you
"my Benjamin." Take care of my little girl ... I know you are. You
are both with your mom & dad running and playing like you did as puppies.
