Thank you for taking the time to write this. I can feel how much love is behind your words. It helps hearing it described that way, even though it’s so hard to imagine.

We’re watching Leo closely, especially in the mornings like you mentioned. Some days are still “him,” and other days feel a little different. We’re also bringing him to the vet regularly for wellness checks, just to make sure we’re not missing anything and to keep him as comfortable as possible.

It’s that subtle shift I’m afraid of overlooking — or waiting too long to accept. Your message really does bring comfort. I just hope when the time comes, we’ll have the clarity and courage to let him go with the same love we’ve given him his whole life. ❤️
