    Some days are harder than others ..

    I cannot imagine your pain and I also cannot conjure up any words that would ease your grief. I’m sure that you have spent a lot of time in quiet contemplation over the years, cherishing the times that you had together and pondering the what-ifs… Stay well.

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    Occasionally I re-read every post in this thread. Two things strike me ..the first is your wonderful ability to express yourself. I would be hobbled by emotion and grief.

    Sad pet stuff....

    Some days it’s really tough to be a pet owner..nearly a year ago we decided to put one of our Maine Coons to sleep..kidney disease meant she was losing weight and not eating. Shittiest day of my life. Still hurts to think about it.
