    Thanks Snowshoe. I struggled with that part for a really long time. In fact it had been in the back of my mind always. I was always afraid of my grief upsetting him in the end. There was nothing I could do to hide it from him, but it was all so quick and i just kept telling him what a good boy he was and how he was ALWAYS mommy's baby forever. Same thing I said to him each night before I closed my eyes.

    I am so sorry for your loss. You gave Montana the greatest gift, a peaceful ending, my thoughts are with you. It does get better I promise, it just takes time.

    Here I am on the other side of this kind of loss, and I don't know what to say. You will miss him greatly, but hopefully your memories will give you comfort.

    My thoughts are with you. My opinion, you gave him peace at the end. I know you're gonna miss him, but he will be waiting for you at the bridge when your time comes.

    hang in there, and for goodness sake don't let anyone tell you its silly to be upset. Its horrible, it tears your heart out, and you will never be the same again, BUT you are different because you were fortunate enough to have had Montana in your life. And what a wonderful life you gave him!

    Oh Montana, if you knew of the broken hearts and tears. But you feel so good now and can run and breathe easy and deep smelling the sweet aroma of spring and your friends. You are so happy, but there is something missing, your Mom and Dakota. They are grieving now but someday will be joining you.

    Later on, there is a bright light you see above and it is shining a warming, soothing glow to everyone there. Then as you are running and playing with your friends you stop and put your nose high in the air, take in a deep breath and a familiar smell fills your nose and mind. You stop, turn and look and see you mom and as you are running full speed toward her you hear 'come here, your mommy's baby now forever'. And the light above you seems to be smiling and saying' ALL IS WELL AND GOOD NOW'

    And so it is!!
