Goddammit I tried, I tried so hard, but this was too late. I shouldn't have waited 'til the spring. I should have tried to get him in sooner, but I wasn't sure what our options were and I was afraid to subject him to too much. He was so weak when we got here, I just didn't know what to do.

Thank you for your love. I sobbed when I saw your reaction.

Oh Audrey. I am so so sorry. He seemed like he was improving and this is just heartbreaking.

It is completely heartbreaking. He tried so hard. Everyone was amazed at him at the vet. Even the vet assistant had to leave the room when I whispered goodbye to him. It was so heartbreaking.

Yes--that's the trick--knowing when to say when. Damn. It hurts.

Thanks, Ari. I am in awe at what a big empty space such a small creature can leave.

I keep thinking back and going over everything and I thought I was doing everything I could, and I feared it was all futile, and I am afraid I missed something, but I made sure he was warm, safe, fed as much as I could, held, brushed, and that he could sit out in the sun whenever possible. He loved that part. And I guess the beauty of this is that yesterday, when he sat out on the driveway in the sun, it was HIS driveway, and he was safe, and he really liked it out there.

He tried. He tried so hard.
