He had another very unexpected episode today after a bad night last night. I think it was his way of telling me it was time to go. It was awful. I feel empty. I stayed with him the whole time and told him how much I loved him and stroked his beautiful fur. And then he was gone. And my heart is broken. But I truly know deep down that he's not suffering anymore. For those of you still grappling with such a decision, I am so sorry and I hope you eventually find peach as well.
