Juliette died last night. She was 13.
In June I posted a photo of her in a yellow unicorn party hat and called it her "second" birthday. A year before that I had spent a weekend doing some kind of CPR on her and writing her heart rate down every 30 minutes, certain she would not see Monday.
She saw fourteen more months. She walked, she ate, she ran around the flat like nothing had happened.

Thank you to everyone who wrote something kind under it. I went back and read all of it again today.
This photo is from a boat on Lake Lucerne. A third of her life she spent here in Switzerland, and on every walk it was obvious who was walking whom.
She always got her way. She never backed down from anything, not once, not until yesterday.
