i thought i'd share with you some quotes of loss since yesterday at 5:54pm i held our 8 year old american stafford while his breathing slowed to a complete stop. he went into a more peaceful place without pain. he had his final epileptic seizures yesterday. i feel blessed and honored to have been there with him in his final moments. again.. life is way too short. we never think it could end so suddenly but this moment is all we have.. love always..
