May 18, 2004 - May 30, 2010


I half heartedly started this blog 6 years ago on May 15th. Three days later Oliver was born and in July he officially became a part of our family. If it wasn't for the request for Oliver updates this little corner of the internets would have been unceremoniously abandoned without a second thought.

Anyways, Oliver died this morning at 11:45. The last three days have been the most horrifying I have ever gone through. My heart is broken and I'm shattered, but at least he's not suffering anymore. April 28th, 2009 is when he first took seriously ill, it's been a long 13 months for all of us. He was a fighter who defied death so many times.

I'm still processing everything that happened and I'll definitely be doing a more thought out post later on. He was a fantastic little creature and you guys need to know how brave and wonderful he was even to the last moment.
