*hugs*

There is not much that I can say because I want you to know that the solace I, and everyone else, offer is real. It feels awkward to step around the words to not try and seem phony during this time, because that is the last thing I want to do, instill fake sincerity. Bleh. What I am trying to say is I (and everyone else) understand how you feel, having lost three pets in the last year. I believe you are doing the right thing. Try not to dwell on the sad things because I think that may make things harder. Give him kisses, sing to him, and give him extra catnip from all of us!
