Oh I'm so sorry.. you have to go through this.
I had to put my 16 year old cat to sleep 3 years ago..it still makes me cry..it was the hardest thing I had to do..in my life, but it is the right and unselfish thing to do.. it is our responsibility to let them go when they tell us it's time and I believe YOU know when it's time.
I will say..that being with them when they passed..( as sad as it was) was very special for me.. that I was there when she went.. as I held her and talked to her.. she knew.. I was letting her go..
Again I'm sorry
ps.. loved that poem.
