We named Byron after lord Byron because we thought his epitaph to his newfie was so beautiful. When we got Byron, I didn't realize just how fitting the epitaph would be for him one day.

Our Byron certaily possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices

I've always considered Byron my "first" child. He truly made me want to be a better person--a person deserving of his unconditional love, patience and loyalty.

Lord Byron the Maine Attraction
6/16/2004 - 4/8/2015

I will miss him so much

I am so sorry for the loss of dear Byron. I know the last couple of years with him were extremely difficult for you and your family.

I am praying that you will all find some sense of peace now. You did your absolute best for him. As for you dear Byron, run free, young and whole again.

Thank you all, the last week has been very hard. Oddly, because he did require so much care, it's like his absence is more felt. I am confident we made the right decision--his auto-immune disease regressed suddenly and there was literally nothing we could do. Immunosuppressants were no longer an option at this stage and we did not want him to suffer. In honesty, I'm glad we were there to offer him comfort in his last moments.

My husband was deeply depressed for a few days, but is handling it better than I expected. We can talk about all of the happy memories we have with Byron before he was sick without crying. We will think of him every day and he will be loved always.
