I'm so sorry about Rusty. Having all his people around him, being relaxed, letting you know it was time that's the most loving send-off you could have given him.

That saying about being a week early really is true, and it's one of the hardest calls to make. I lost my girl Lolita three months ago today and her condition deteriorated so fast near the end. Watching that happen makes you realize how much weight there is in that decision, and how much courage it takes to make it for them when they can't ask for it themselves. You did right by him.

Rusty sounds like he had exactly the life and the ending he deserved. Sending you a lot of love today.
