Don't worry, I feel the same way. I made sure I said "I love you" to Major and gave him a hug and a few kisses tonight. I suppose its not good that this is turning into a 'death' thread, but I just really needed to say that to him since my friend's dog passed away a couple days ago, so unexpectedly.

I'm sorry about your dad. How long ago was that? I'll never understand why people have to be taken from us. Did your mom remarry?
