Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Today has been so hard - I keep going outside to check Kissy's food and water, and looking for him every time I enter or leave the house - only to remember that he is no longer here.

I know he is in a much better place, and I am trying to take comfort from the fact that he is no longer suffering.

Thank you all for helping me to remember darling Kissy, and not letting his passing go unnoticed.

I am still feeling so raw, and on the verge of tears all the time. I wish it would stop hurting, but I know it will take time.
