I lost my brother Gussie. He had lymphoma my mom called it and she was very sad when it happened. Me and Gus didn't notice much difference, he still played tag and tug with me and kept body slamming me on occasion. He had a few days when he didn't want to eat so Mom would give both of us special treats and we both liked that. Then that last morning, he threw up and didn't want any food or to play with me. He let me lick his swollen neck a little bit so I knew he wans't feeling good. Mom called Uncle Michael and he and our nephew Hawk and the girls came over. Ruthie prayed for Gus. Gus was having a hard time breathing and he let me know he was going to see our Dad but I was still sad. Uncle Michael and Mom took Gussie to see Dr. Haller and when they came back, Gussie wasn't with them and Mom told me he didn't hurt anymore and I was glad for that. She told me he was playing with Daddy right now and that we would have to wait awhile before we saw them again, and that things were going to be OK. So I sat quietly with Mom while she cried and I hope things will be better soon. I keep looking for Gus but I know he's with Daddy. And I miss him.
