It's been an emotionally trying week. My sweet Sammy girl stopped eating on Monday and held on until the wee hours today. Dave says she held on so I'd only have to be sad on one day. Sammy passed away on the 6th anniversary of the date we lost Ashlyn.
My sweet husband fed the kids and put them to bed last night so I could spend a final few hours with Sammy. I held her in the recliner and monitored her labored breaths for four hours last night. When I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, Dave and I made her a bed and placed it on the floor beside my bed. I fell asleep for a few hours and when I woke, at 4:00 AM, she was gone.
I am tremendously thankful that I got to spend her final hours holding her and that she passed peacefully at home.
Rest peacefully, sweet Sammy girl. We already miss you tremendously!
