On December 28th, my mother and I took our much loved family cat to the vet. Casper did not come back home with us. He was 16 years old, and had an untreatable heart condition and difficulty breathing. We made the the only decision we could.
My mother was too upset to stay with Casper for the final moments, so I stayed, for her, for my sister in London, for myself, but most of all for Casper. It was the hardest thing I have ever done.
" .. not for lack of love we sent you away, but we loved you too much to force you to stay .. "
Mark, Margaret, Kylie.
