I am so sorry, Nansiludie. Yes, he is in a better place, but I know that doesn't help with your pain of losing him. It's never easy.
It's been a rough year and it just does not seem like Christmas. It is usually a bad time of year for me anyways but this year is worse. Lost a kitty four days before Christmas and still trying to pick up the pieces. You never do realize how much you love someone until they are gone. I am sure he is in a better place but it is still hard to be left behind.
Hope all had a better Christmas than I have had.
