Dear Lesley,
Thank you for rescuing Oscar. I don't think I would have been as brave as you were that day in the pet store when you saw him. Oscar needed to be saved and for some reason, you were chosen to take on this task. He probably didn't know anything but unhappiness until you found him. He spent his last days loved and cared for by a very special human being...YOU. All the pain of the past was wiped away when you took him into your arms and out of that store. I'm sure he knew..."This time it'll be better." And it was. You did more for Oscar in the short time that he was with you than he ever had his whole little life. I wondered the day I watched the video of him walking around, if he had ever even done that before...felt freedom to move or run? Well today, you have given him a new freedom. I would like to imagine that he's crossed over to a place full of beardie happiness, with warm sunshine and fence posts to bask on! Grassy fields to run in and endless superworms! As much as we wished he could've stayed longer, it was time for him to go and you rescued him again... Today too, you were probably much braver than I could have been, just like that day in the pet store. I know it will take a while but, I hope your your heart will stop hurting soon and you will be able to smile once again when you think of Oscar. <3 <3 Rest easy Oscar... I'll miss you too. <3 <3
Love & Hugs,
Sue
