 should i be there when it's time to let go?
i posted a thread earlier and have had an overwhelming amount of responses but what i regret was that i wasn't clear on the most important thing. as i prepare to say goodbye to rufus, at 22, i live with my parents, and rufus would NOT by any means be alone. my mom and dad would be there with him and they promised that if it was too painful for me, i didn't have to be there, i could come in after the procedure was over and say my goodbyes. if i lived alone and this were my dog there'd be no question i would be there bc i would be desserting him, but he will have his mommy and daddy with him, if me, his brother is unable to be present. he will NOT be alone. i should have made that clear. idk if this changes anybody's opinion, but it's a major point i should have pointed out. |
