Re: I killed Grayson

[Marylyn]

Grayson left this world because it was his time to leave.  He left loved and cared for, not abandoned or gassed or cold or frightened.  In all likelihood he simply left in his sleep.  You gave him the ability to leave this world by giving him comfort.  It takes energy to leave.  He needed to and you did nothing wrong.  You did not kill him.  He and his brother are grateful to you for rescuing them from what would have been a horrible death.  And giving them  a wonderful, although very short, life.                                                               If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: catatonya To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 4:58 AM Subject: I killed Grayson I just woke and Grayson was dead.  I think I smothered him.  I think 2:30 was the last time he woke me up to be fed.  I had him up by my neck but remember finding him sleeping down next to me at one point and moving him back up.  I guess it didn't cross my mind at the time that he should have been screaming for food at that point.  I just moved him back up higher on the bed and covered him in his little towel and fell back asleep.  When I woke again I wondered why he hadn't cried yet or moved over to my neck.  He was dead because I had killed him.   tonya No virus found in this incoming message.
