This made me cry, too. I know how sad it is when our loved ones become frail and more dependent on us and in your and Twicket's case it is more poignant than ever. You've had such a short time together (comparitively) that you need each other more than if you had spent his whole lifetime together.

He is so lucky to have found a loving home and tender care; you are lucky to have his devotion. You want him around for a long time, yet you don't want him to have a less-than-good quality of life and you certainly don't want him to suffer.

Just love him all you can while you have him.

I, too, cannot imagine giving up any of my darlings. What a cruel, cold act of abandonment. May it haunt him/her forever.

Sweet hugs to a beautiful gentleman, and to you.
