he had been staying at our parents house, because my brother and i couldn't take him with us when we moved from our house. i got to be with him over the easter holiday. and i got to be with him all this morning, but i had to leave to head back to the new house.

my parents took him to the vet and they recommended that it was his time to go. my dad stayed with him the whole way. it hit my dad hard.

my dad couln't make the phone call that the deed was done, he had to email me instead. i called about ten mintues after i got the email, got myself together and talked to my mother first, and we were both fighting to keep it together.

then i talked to my father which one of the hardest things to do as we both tried to keep it together.
