Demri
I think this might be my favorite photo of my beloved little Ricky. He was such a fighter and so brave, but it was finally his time, and he left this world on Sunday morning, 29 October 2006. I'm still in such a state and events seem to be happening without much notice or interest from me, but I'm trying very hard to get back to a somewhat state of normalcy. He was only with us for 25 months since he was rescued from being abandoned in an apartment, but he left such a strong impression on me and I'll always love him so much. I still can't believe he's gone. I'll always remember him as the feisty, strong-willed, very stubborn old little guy who stole my heart immediately. Even though he endured a lot, he always seemed to find a way to be content and to get through it. Last October when he got really sick, I remember wishing he'd have just a few good, healthy, happy months, and instead of a few months, he got a year. Rest in peace, my love...
