Every day I think about that one dreaded day

[GermanGuy]

I love my boy so much, he helped me emotionally through the roughest times, but he's turning 8 next month and while he's in perfect health I'm so afraid of the day to say goodbye. I hope he will have a long and happy life but I can't suppress these sad thoughts. How do you deal with this?

I completely understand this feeling, it’s never easy to let them go. What helps me is remembering that they blessed me during the time they were here, however long that was. I try to appreciate every moment, the quiet ones, the exciting ones, even the sad ones. It’s better to have shared those memories and good times than to never have had them at all. Plus, it also feels good to know that we gave it our all in giving them the best life possible.
