Medicine for this ache, helping him with another ailment, it became a regular routine.

When we knew it was time, we chose to look and reflect at the great life he’d lived (over 17 years), all the fun times we had, the fact that he will forever be our son’s first friend in the world … rather than “the end.”   Thank god for videos!

That said, we were ready, we were prepared … but I completely lost it at the vet.  It still stinks writing this, 3 days later.

My point?  Cherish the ones you have and love today.
