[:"green"]Sundra,
My heart goes out to you and Sydney... I know how very much you loved little Jeepers and you will miss her for a very long time. Know that you are loved and we are here for you...

Never forget how hard you tried. What a loving mommy you are.
Hug and kisses and a ton of respect goes out to you.

Sundra,
I could not help but cry with you and for you. My heart goes out to you and your darling daughter, Sydney. You did the best you could and you should not beat yourself up. Keep your chin up and give Peepers lots of love and attention. Many hugs go to you and Sydney! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

PeeperKeeper, I am truly very sorry for the loss of your beloved Jeepers. My heart goes out to you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Sundra,
I am so sorry for your family's loss. Sending <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> from all of us.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> I am so sorry, please know that with all that you had done for your little one, she held on for as long as she did for you. She knew that love would never come from anyother as strong as it did from you. Your daughter gave her another glimmer of hope, for her she tried to stay because she knew that her love was going to be as strong as yours. Leaving over the bridge filled with all the love gave her the strength to fly not to be free but to fill your heart and souls with her spirit forever. May the light shine a path for healing and the love bring joy and peace. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frostyangel.gif" alt="" />

Oh Sundra and Sydney I am so sorry! I know Sydney was so excited to be the new owenr of Jeepers, I hope she would still like to own a glider. She is a great kid and if I could I would give her a glider of her own she deserves it.

I second what Chase said. Syd chin up girl you did your best because you loved her.

I am so sorry for you Sydney. I'm 10 and have my own glider and don't know what I'd do in your place. Every time I talk to my mommy's glider named Sydney I will think of you. Hugs.

Oh Sundra, I know very well the feelings you had while trying to save her and the whole time not knowing how the outcome would be. I myself am going through this right now with Stud. I too came back from the SGGA to a sick little man and we are fighting a battle right now. You fight so hard to keep them alive, but when it is their time to go God takes them. You have fullfilled your responsibility as a caregiver of what God gives you and that is the best you could do. Pets are made purely for our enjoyment and I know Jeepers fulfilled that purpose in life. There is nothing that can replace the glider that you love. Hopefully, the support from friends will comfort you now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

Oh no! NOTHING I could possibly say could ever express my sorrow for your loss and nothing I can say could make you feel the slightest bit better right now so I won't even try. I will simply cry and hurt with you as have so many others here. Just know that time does heal and your baby will never be forgotten and we are all here for you any time that you need us.

Could someone please let me know how old little Jeepers was? I'd like to make something special for Sundra & Sydney so I'd like to know the suggies age and if anyone has a picture or can link me to a picture I would appreciate it.

God Bless you all and our prayers are with this family, esp that sweet little girl, Sydney, who'd just gotten her as her very own suggie.

Great Big Hugs

[:"blue"] Sundra, I am so very sorry. It seems that no matter what the circumstances, we all feel that we should be able to do something to make it all better for these loving trusting little ones.

I'm sure you did all you could. I believe that Jeepers knew that just as our little ones who have passed did.

We understand and share your loss. [/]

Thank you everyone for your kind words of support. You don't know how much it means to me to see such an outpouring from everyone. I had been avoiding looking at this thread to let some of the worst of the pain wear off. The tears are indeed flowing now, but they don't hurt as bad as they did.

AngieH, thank you for remembering her. It's amazing with as many rescues as you've cared for that you remember little Jeepers (Renee to you). I didn't remember what her parents' names were and I wanted to ask you or Melanie that and to ask how they are, along with her sister.

Elizabeth/Resonance thank you for posting. I know you don't post here often and it made me feel good to see that you were checking on us and posted. I told you when we were there that I really felt that I was losing her, but as I also told you, I wanted to keep fighting as long as she did. Now I wonder if I pushed too hard. But Dr. Tracy said I couldn't do that to myself, so I'll try not to.

Sheila, I'm sorry you came home to a sick glider too. Ellen was telling me that she lost a glider while at a get away several years ago as well. Makes one scared to go to an SGGA.

Chase and James, I haven't had Syd read this thread yet. I'm not sure if she should. I'll ask her if she feels up to it. She's probably bouncing back better than I am, but I don't want to reopen the wound. I will definitely tell her that you and all the others send her your condolences though. It will mean a lot to her coming from you. She does understand that it wasn't her fault. I do plan to get another glider for Peeper's sake, but I haven't asked Syd yet if she wants it to be hers.

John, our conversation in IM today was a big help. Thanks. I'm sorry about Bow's loss of his birdies.

Jeepers would have been two in October. I'm attaching my favorite picture of her having fun with her barrel of monkeys. Those of you with the Glider Central calendar for this year will see her in I believe October. I hadn't realized until just now that her pic is on her birthday month. My calendar is at my office, so I'm not certain.

Thank each and every one of you. When I've seen the posts in Real Stories with all the condolences I didn't realize how much it means to someone when they're hurting. It really does help.

Awww..I am sooo sorry! I have been following and knew if anyone could make things better you could. It was just Jeepers time to go! I feel so sorry for Syd - she has been such a little trooper! My thoughts are with you and your family as you get through this tough time!!
