ugh, this is turning into a good bye thread.

My parents' cat, whom I had a soft spot for, turned a corner for the worse this morning and I had to take him in to be put down. He was sick for a long time with kidney disease, and it finally just got the best of him and he couldn't even stand anymore. I just saw him yesterday and he was ok. I certainly didn't wake up this morning thinking I'll be helping him cross the rainbow bridge.

I've never seen my dad cry, so it was hard to watch that.

thanks for letting me hijack this thread with my sadness
