His final decline coincided with my departure after all. Yesterday, while I was on my way to Amsterdam, Jay made the call to the vet, and they gave him a choice of today at 10am or Sunday afternoon. He chose today at 10am, since he really didn't want to take the kids with him.
It was time. We all knew it was. But I have some seriously mixed feelings about not being there. :(
