LAST UPDATE: July 30th 8:46pm

I was cooking some chicken for Mocha this afternoon, Mocha came by and slept on my foot. I gave him a neck massage as usual, he took his last breath after several minutes. I held him in my arms for 2 hours, waited for my wife to come home. All the family members said their goodbyes.

It was peaceful, his eyes were open, with a smile on his face. I'm happy that his last moment was spent with me, it was all I ever prayed for.

I am lost for words right now, forgive me for taking some time off. Thank you for allowing me to share his stories with you.

The update continues on another thread... Aug 1st 5:58pm

Thank you so much for all your messages, our phones were beeping non stop from notifications. Your words brought tears to our eyes and we are filled with love.

I took Vienna to the vet yesterday, the cytology result came back today, she also has stage 5 Lymphoma. So this thread will continues and I'm starting another bucket list for Vienna as well.

I am so sorry Sam but so pleased Mocha was with you in his final moments. He must have felt so safe and loved and knew it was time to let go. RIP little buddy.
