Hey L. I'm not sure how I'm going to say goodbye to you day after tomorrow while I'm grieving the death of my cat. I was okay much of today but when I fed the other 2 just a few minutes ago, I started crying again. I had to hold it in til I could leave the room because H is grieving the loss of Rascal harder than I am. H was his person, and all. And I'm still struggling a LOT with the guilt that we weren't here for him when he needed us the most. I understand that you need a vacation but man now I wish we could still have til 12/31. It's going to suck so bad saying goodbye to you Friday while I'm so sad about my cat.


But, I'm not grieving my cat alone, H is too, and so is our son, and almost everyone has lost a beloved pet at one time or another so I can talk about it with all of my friends. It doesn't have to be you - but, I just think it's gonna be even harder saying goodbye because I'm already sad anyway.
