Oh, so sad. Why did he have to be put down? It's sweet of you to think of me and of my dog who passed away. You know, my baby's 1st anniversary of being gone is exactly 2 weeks away. I think I am going to email about it on that day to remind my H.
The dog had cancer. I told my cousin to be grateful for the time she had with him as the average age for a Rottweiler is 8 years and she's had him for 12. Nonetheless, it is not easy to say goodbye and do what is right for the dog as we tend to want to hang onto them.
As for your evening with your H, it sounds like it went very well. Let's see: - he enjoyed the dinner you prepared - he thanked you for preparing dinner - he accepted your offer to give him a massage and enjoyed that - enjoyed your company and conversation
You did well.
I bet he will be thinking about you while you are on vacation. He will remember how well you got along that evening and I'm sure he'll contact you as soon as you get back.
You are truly amazing and demonstrating that your life is not at a standstill because he is gone. Good on you!
Hugs, ISLH
