43. My cat died at three years old the day after Christmas many years ago...

I think she had a brain aneurism or something like that, because suddenly the next morning we found her dead on the bed next to me. I can feel your pain man! And that wasn't even for a human being family member! A tough way to end the holidays. Best wishes to you and your family.

We went to visit my dad the day after Thanksgiving two years ago too, and then a week or so later, he passed away on Pearl Harbor day. Raced down to be by his side, but he'd already gone to sleep before I'd arrived the night he passed. I felt good that I'd hugged him, told him I loved him and said goodbye I think the last time any family member was with him that Thanksgiving. That moment made it easier to take later. I'm glad you had that chance to say goodbye.
