Oh Carla, I am so sorry!! I know you did everything you possible could for Charmed and that you loved him so.
Sweet, lovely Charmed is now at peace. What a wonderful mommy you are. I cried uncontrollably along with you as I read your story. I have been there myself many times, but it never gets any easier, does it? Please do not be hard on yourself. I have only been on the list a very short time and have been able to conclude how loving and supportive you are with all of your babies. You have given me inspiration not to give up on my 6 foster FelV+ babies even though it has been difficult sometimes. I wish I was there to give you a hug. Hopefully you can feel it from here. My prayers are with you.

There have been few times on this List when I have been truly shocked to hear of one passing. Olivia is the most recent one I can remember, and now Charmed. You're right. With this horrible disease it often comes fast and without warning. Every single time I read a post of yours, I always think how you are doing more for one of your little foster cats than many people would do for their own personal pet. You were a wonderful mom to that little guy, and all of your furry kids. I know it hurts, but please don't beat yourself up with the "would-a could-a should-a" thoughts. You know the saying "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas!" If my mom said that once she said it a million times and it is so true! :) So please, go have that bourbon, call in sick to work if you want, but beating yourself up is not allowed ok? Charmed wouldn't want that. He knows you loved him and no one could have cared for him better. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you, Jamie
