As he lay on my lap, trying to get comfortable, his father and I talked about what we were going to have to do. It was a beautful fall day the sun was shining and the wind blowing and Kramer loved it when the wind blew. I held him off and on all day long knowing but not wanting to deal with what I knew. He was getting weaker I saw it and would just pick him up and hug him, pet him and talk to him, telling him I loved him and wishing to god I knew how to make him better. In the end though he made the decision for us. He came in from outside and collapsed on the floor in the laundry room, I was getiing his dinner ready, when I heard him collapse, I went to him, it was only one step away but he was already leaving me, I said his name and petted his head but a couple of short breaths and he was gone, and a hole appeared in my heart. He didn't make us make the decision he went out on his own terms. God took him to heaven on 11-11-12 at 4:49pm
