This marvelous good-natured worrier was a unique combination where he so wanted to be with someone yet had a hard time trusting the sense it made for him…food, water, some outside time…all made sense but a true connection was hard to come by. JD by all rights, had to become his own dog in his own world, thrust upon him through a death. He was doing the best he could but the pain was evident in his expressions and discomfort being touched and handled. It was all just too foreign and unfamiliar for him.
One evening he ‘broke’ with focal seizures and as they increased, he lost his ability to stand which meant he was dependent on help which he absolutely detested. Pain medication and seizure medication could not turn around the independence that he was quickly loosing. As his worry deepened and his confusion grew, there was one answer and he was ready…letting him go to return to spirit.
An amazing will and directness about his goals was apparent and then he was gone. Thank you JD for gracing us with your huge presence and showing how it’s done. |
