aw, hideyo, i'm so sorry that garfunkle had to leave. but i'm happy for both of you, that you had some really good memory-making time together before he left.
i see him racing around at the bridge, big grin on his face, being all healthy and happy--and carrying all your love with him.... the holding them and crying for them not to go--oh, i wish i didn't know that one so well. i know i have no right to keep them with me FOR me when it's their time.... i still can laugh as i remember hugging one of my darlings, telling her that it was okay for her to go whenever she needed to, that i loved her and would be fine, thanking her for being such a good companion--then, five minutes later, crying into her neck, "mommy's not ready to let you go!".... and, the next minute, telling her, yet again, that it was her choice and her need that was most important... my heart is with you, hideyo.
