Words Cannot Describe by @sakarataryn (Jaime Thompson)
You know, life sucks like no one would ever believe. I've spent the majority of the day crying so hard I can't breathe. My cat died today. He was supposed to live to be twenty. He was supposed to be nine this year. And he didn't make it. He got sick, got better I thought, only to get something else, and he had to be put down. By my father's opinion...I was ready to sell everything I owned to raise money for what he needed...but someone else made the decision for me. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Jaime Thompson
This hits close to home with me- I lost my dog Austin about a year and a half ago, but it hurts like hell still. Things get easier over time, but they sure don't mean any less. I used to think I'd never stop crying, and now I can remember him without crying again. Your cat loved you and wouldn't want you to be sad. Remember the good days, not the one day out of so many good days that he died. It's what he would have wanted. I am really, truly sorry about your cat.
