Watched this movie with my 11 year old son the other day. He enjoyed it, but was rather stony-faced throughout. When it got to the end, I read aloud the info about the real man and the whole saga when where etc. My son completely lost it. "It's TRUE?? I didn't know it was TRUE!! How could you not tell me it's TRUE!!??" He cried for 2 hours straight. I may have shed some tears myself... but you have no proof...
Yup. Just happened to me last month, he was 15 and it went fast and everything was as good as it could get and I was still way more desperate than when my mom died a couple years ago,
We had a wonderful cat that would always be snuggling with me wherever I was, even if I sat down to tie my shoes he would be there on my lap and he would sit and purr on my lap while I did my homework and curl up with me before I fell asleep. One day we took him to the vet because he wasn't looking so good. We thought he was maybe 3-4 years old but it turns out he was 18 years old give or take and had kidney failure
He died that week and it was heart wrenching
I still have moments where I almost cry because I miss him so much
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom
I hope you're doing better.... may she rest in peace

Thanks man, my mom was mid 80 and very sick for a couple of years before she died, and she just went very peacefully so everyone could cope with it really. That's what you're expecting, but a pet dying is a bit like a child dying even if that doesn't make any sense. I think that's very much an archetype thing, you develop the same feelings for a pet as for a child, so even when they die at a very acceptable age, it can really wreck you. Someone's cutting onions next to me right now...

I'm glad it was the better of a bad situation...
