Thanks, SS...that just made me tear up again And thanks to all of you as well.

We're adjusting as well as could be expected, maybe better than we could hope for. I have been comforted greatly by the knowledge that, for the 1st time in a long while, I'm not worried about Lucky; I know he's at peace now, he's not hurting, or in danger of being hurt, & most of all, he's not bumping into things now! I see looking back now, it would not have been wrong to end his pain anytime in the past year or so, but I waited to make sure HE was ready; his last hours proved to be the last straw. His heart was, literally & figuratively, strong to the end, & I feel no qualms at having given him one last lap.
