Lost a piece of my family today

Today was a very difficult day for me. As my readers know, my dear Tucker kitty has been struggling with his health. Last Friday evening, I discovered I could actually feel the tumor he has. He was still having good days and bad days - being quite the little trooper. I knew his end was inevitable.. it was just a matter of when. So I prayed that I would have enough wisdom to tell when it was time to end his suffering, and the courage and strength to do it. Today was that day. I woke up and I could just tell by looking at him that he was feeling miserable. I spent all day holding him in my lap while I worked, and cuddling with him when my work was done. Of course, I've cried all day long too. He was happy today though. He tapped his tail while I pet him which told me he was content. Anyway.. I took one last picture of him tonight. I was hoping to get one of my two boys together - but neither of them would sit still. Its not even remotely a good picture, but its the best I could get:




And this one I thought was just funny... this is Tripod our three-legged cat:
