Goodbye Casper
This post is in dedication to the late casper who has begun his new journey in the otherworld as of today, Sunday May 31st 2009. He may no longer be here, but he will always remain in our hearts. Let us put our hearts together and bid him farewell. He left us with many memories no matter wad it may be. His fighting spirit to live was something all of us should learn. Despite the fact that he had a stroke about 6 months ago and was suffering from some other things, he did not submit to death itself. He fought for his survival in this 6 months. Soon after he had the stroke, he slowly recovered till he was able to walk, despite being unable to walk properly, he continued walking and slowly recovered over the 6 mths. Even though he was not able to fully recover, he still continued struggling onwards through life. 6 months may seem short to most of you. but. when converted to dog years, he has been struggling for about 6 dog years. Imagine struggling with stroke for 6 years. Most people would have probably given up hope and just stop their recovery program, but this dog continued onwards without giving up. An animal who does not have any personal goals in life to achieve still fights on, for what purpose does he fight on for? The only thing that follows would be more suffering. But I strongly believe that he fights on for us. This dog shows us to perfect example of true courage. Some people out there might think that life is tough and are contemplating on ending your lives. Think again, even a dog can continue to fight for his life even though the suffering will continue. Are we humans inferior to even a dog? All of us must learn from his example, may his death be of in no vain, may we use him as an example, as a motivation to continue onwards with life. May he rest in peace.
He was about 20 human years old at the time of death. He did not give in to death, and just before he was put to sleep, he finally relaxed. Most probably knowing its his time to go.
May we all once again put our hearts together and pray for his enlightenment in the other world.
This will probably be my biggest regret in life, not taking enough photos of him, keeping more memories of him with me. Below are the only photos i took of him.
In loving memory of our beloved Casper.
