Good morning my DU family,

[JMCKUSICK]

16. Thank you TBF

It feels so different this time, compared to Snuggles two plus years ago.

With Snuggles, I felt like something was unfairly taken from me.

With Cuddles, I felt that on Sunday night when the reality hit that this was bad, but it shifted almost suddenly to saying good bye and letting him go.

I know being there as he took his last breath helped, but I feel it's more than that.

We lived great together, it's like nothing was left on the table. So I'm so truly grateful that I was blessed with a day of him, much less four years.

Of course I'm terribly sad, tears flow as I write this, but they're tears of fullness, tears of joy, and tears of awareness and awe of how blessed I've been.
