DESCRIPTIONS ARE STUPID 2003-05-28 | 6:11 p.m. Never before in my life have I had to do something so painful. I feel like my heart actually broke and the blood it spreads out gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. I really can feel it all the way through to my finger tips. Last night I took my cat to the vet to have her put to sleep. For the past nine or so years every night that I was in my own bed she was there with me. She greeted me at the door with a hungry meow every afternoon and loved me unconditionally. Darby moved with me from Oakland to Concord to Santa Cruz and finally to Huntington Beach. She has been my friend longer than anyone and now she's gone. I got to hold her and stroke her as the doctor gave her the injection but I don't know if it made it easier or harder. Now the final images I have of her are strained breathing and a face full of mucus. I hope none of you ever have to feel this sad. I can't stop crying.
