> [@Sailboat](#): > > … did you even get to recognize you were loved? Oh, Sailboat. He knew - and he loved you back. Homeless animals slink off by themselves when they are sick and dying. He chose to stay there near you, instead. He let his guard down around you. He relaxed near you and all his pain drifted away from him. He found his people, and now he’s at peace. You did good by him. ---

What a lucky little guy to have found you. You got him in time to show him the love he deserved. So very sorry for your loss. ---
