Yesterday I had my mom and sisters and anybody who I could think of that interacted with him in a regular basis come by and say goodbye to him. I was always okay, and then once somebody would get there we would go see him and start talking and I would start crying. I've shed more tears in the last couple days than I have in probably about ten years.

Girlfriend and I woke up today and got ready. Nobody said a word. I wrapped him in a blanket and he was so cold and limp, breathing just barely, and with one heavy breath every ten seconds or so. I held him as she drove, telling him I loved him and thanking him for all he had done for me. I felt his tail moving, and then I felt it fall. We got to the vet and came in, and we all knew. He passed in my arms on the way there. The vet checked and no heartbeat.

I am glad he went the way he did. In my arms, in the sunlight. Not by a shot on a cold table. The vet left us alone with him and we cried.

We're getting him cremated and we're getting the ashes back. Today was easier than I thought it was going to be. I still cried but it wasn't sad cries, it was goodbye cries.

Rest in piece Bubbles. I'll always love you.
