Horrible Day

Aug 12, 2007 10:45

I had to go and tempt the fates by asking if anything else could go wrong. Well, I got my answer and found out yeah, other things could go wrong.

A very close family friend passed away yesterday. My dearest friend in the world lost her mother yesterday. This woman was like a second mom to me growing up. I spent as much time at their house as I did at my own. As amazing as it seem her daughter and I are still friends 30 years later. This woman was also my mom's best friend. It is just sad. I would have done anything to not have had to watch my friend have to watch her mom die for the past week. It just really upsets me that there is nothing I can really do for her except be there.

We were so sad that I had Adam come up on the train to Elsinore to join me because I needed my honey. We all went out to try and distract ourselves and came home and saw our cat Annie was really sick.

Annie is 16 and we have had to give her insulin injections for the past 5 years. She hasn't been doing too well lately and last night it just came to a head. So we found a emergency pet hospital and took her in.

I wrapped her in her favorite blankie and cuddled her in the car and tried to say good-bye. My mom chickened out and Adam and I had to take her into the room. I wasn't going to leave her to die in a place she hated the most so I promised Annie I would be with her until she was gone.

The vet came in and gave her the injection and it was over. Annie seemed very peaceful and not overly upset and I knew then that I did what I could to make my kitty have a calm death.

Yesterday was brutal and I don't think I can have another day like that.
