Our writing today is dedicated to Trouble (2014-2024). May he rest in peace.
I think euthanasia is a humane option.
Says the doctor quietly as she tries to deliver the news gently.
I am standing in the X-ray room, trying not to explode into an ugly cry.
The one that is not just tears running down your face but an audible cry out loud that turns heads.
The cry that expresses the total anguish I am feeling at having to decide to end Trouble’s life.
I cover my face because I am failing miserably.
Katie is very quiet.
