[Felvtalk] Mo

Wed Apr 12 13:57:25 CDT 2017

I hope little Mo passes soon.....Not that I want Mo to be gone but I 
want you to be able to actually grieve his loss rather than be subjected 
to the pain of wondering each day if THIS is the day and worrying if he 
is going to die while you are away from him..... I don't know that they 
sense our presence when they are this ill and close to the end of their 
lives but I know it made ME feel better to be with my guys holding them 
for as many hours as I could while they were near the end.....  I hope 
you , too, are able to be physically connected to your little Mo when he 
leaves his little body......   I am comforted for Mo that he has you 
caring this much that his last moments have a much quality as you can 
provide
Bob
