Jonathan and I have been blessed with no close family losses for many years. We have had, up until recently, 2 healthy sets of grandparents, mother and father, friends and extended family. Personal tragedy's are in the dark, we have never seen them. Then Gramie took a stroke after Liz and I got married. No she is paralyzed on one side and can barley talk. Still she was alive and doing well. Grampie confessed to Liz and I that he was prepared to die if Gramie went. In his constant vigil to her bed side he gave his all and passes on to the silence of death. He is greatly missed. However Jonathan and I were never particularly close to this side of the family as distance held us apart. Mother, do not read this. Last October I put Dog to sleep. he was 14yr old or more, I really don't remember. He had tumors on the outside of his body, but they weren't affecting him much, until one day I came home and he was pink from rubbing himself raw. I knew at that moment that the time had come to do the inevitable and ease the pain and discomfort he must have been in. When we took him to the vet, he was like a pup again running from window to window anxious to see the sites. WE got to the office and I realized I didn't have the constitution to watch him go to sleep forever. At that moment, when they were weighing him, memories flooded back of the first time I met him. He was my birthday present, a little ball of fur too small to jump on my bed. he was a good pet, all the times he fell of the back of the couch, making me laugh, to the chasing of rabbits in the yard. Sitting like a woodchuck on top of his dog house I built for him. I realized that he was in discomfort and needed to be let go, but a gnawing guilt to this day was if I, his best friend was transferring more pain than he was really in. In my head I know I did the right thing, but in my heart there were only doubts. As I put him in the cage to await the medicine, he started to tremble. and it broke my heart. As Liz and silently left the office I finally realized the gravity of the decision I made and broke down and cried in the truck for a few minutes, then silently drove away. I should have stayed, but I knew he would be upset by my anxiety. And i was afraid that i would change my mind at the last minute..or some other stupid ridiculous reason. I regret my decision to leave him alone... and admire your decision for staying. When this comes around again I know now that i will have the resolve to do the right thing, even it it isnt easy As we grow and learn, death comes to us all.

You/we did the right thing. The girls were everything to us. They are still here in memory. I truely believe Abby is much happier now. You didn't see what Hannah went through. You KNOW that Abby wasn't far from that. That wasn't fair. This WAS fair. She died with her family... all her family. There isn't a day that goes by that I still don't think of them. How sometimes I can hear Hannah snoring at night. It breaks my heart. This is the first time my heart has ever ached ... I don't like it. But life goes on. We move on. We remember them ALWAYS! <3 I love you. You/we did the right thing. The girls were everything to us. They are still here in memory. I truely believe Abby is much happier now.
