The Beginning of the End

[slobbit]

My sister and her boyfriend (my old friend from high school, actually) came down with his teenage son to visit for an overnight this weekend

Sympathies. That's the hard thing about pets: having to say goodbye.

sorry to hear that

its a sad thing to do, but the alternative of waiting is not pleasant either. Its a compassionate option. RIP kitty.

I am sorry to hear the news. There's never a good time to do the right thing.

OH, I'm sorry! Poor Mr. Kitty. Everyone is right (and you already knew this), it's the kind thing to do. But it's oh so hard, I know only too well. It's hard to let go of a friend.

"We who choose to surround ourselves
with lives even more temporary than our
own, live within a fragile circle;
easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we would still live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only
certain immortality, never fully
understanding the necessary plan."
