Saying Goodbye

I haven't been able to bring myself to write this post until now. Six days ago we lost Xabi to surgery. We were given the option to either try a risky surgery where we could lose him that day, or he would just get worse and die slowly. We chose the surgery. Part of the saddest part is that he did actually survive the surgery, but died the next morning. I miss him so much, but I'm glad he isn't in pain anymore and I'm glad we gave it one last shot to improve his life.

I don't want to dwell on his death. I want to write this post to celebrate that sweet, curious, feisty, smart little pig. Here are some of my all-time favorite pictures of our little Xabster.
