George, remember that old story about catching a butterfly, then opening your hand. If it flies away it wasn't meant to stay. Maybe Ollie wasn't meant to stay in you life. You did multiple good things for him.Maybe he's a travelin' man and just needed to head on down the road.
Like sidestepper said, feelings aren't logical. You did your best for him.
hmmm, I might have found another way of looking at this.... If you opened your home to a homeless person, gave them food and shelter. Made sure they got needed medical care. Then one day they took off, would you be responsible for them leaving?
