In the spring of 2021, Rudy was diagnosed with suspected cancer and would not live long. Considering his age, I decided not to give him aggressive surgery. Instead, I canceled our trip to Kyoto to spend the precious time of his final days at home together. That’s when I was reminded of my overdue health checkup; as a result, I found my early-stage breast cancer. Last week my cancer treatment was completed with reconstructive surgery. Rudy reached the limit at the same time. I had to make the hardest decision to let him be free from his body because he kept having seizures. His transition was surrounded by love. He made us all cry and somehow smile, even in the circumstances. Not only did Rudy save my life, his indomitable life force pushed beyond his diagnosis and stayed by my side to protect me for almost two extra years. Old, blind, and deaf Rudy had always been alert to ensure I was ok during the heavy cancer treatments. Rudy’s medical team were astonished by his miraculous strength and described him as an absolute warrior. I hear and feel him everywhere. Our home is empty without his cartoony existence, and time passes painfully slowly without our routines and rituals. It had always been my biggest fear to imagine my life without him because no matter what happened in the last 15 years, I was ok with holding Rudy. Now I must start a new chapter with his spirit within me. Two weeks ago, Rudy passed me a message “Hey, this is not ending. This is the beginning of unlimited possibilities.” It was real. After all my human family’s death, I must admit this is the most painful grief I have ever experienced. The grief is overwhelming me. However, I embrace profound warmth somewhere deep in the bottom of my heart. We promised each other that we would be together forever.
