I am so sorry it is time for him to go.
Their stays on earth with us are so brief, yet filled with endless joy and love. That is why we love them so, I believe. That pure selfless adoration that we see each time we look into those intelligent eyes.
I wish him a peaceful release from his earthly body, and for you, I wish you peace. You are giving him the last wonderful gift you can, the release from his worn out body.
I am sure his heart is still just a lovely and pure as it ever was.
If I did not think they would be waiting on us when it's our turn, I'm not sure I could bear the losses.
I will keep you close in my thoughts tomorrow morning.
I've been in your shoes, and I know how it feels.
I wish you JOY in all the wonderful memories I know you have of such a great worker as he was, and may time somehow dim the brutal pain of his loss.
With Sympathy and understanding. ....
