5. What a sweet story!

This is really hitting me close to home, as we have an appointment with the vet to say goodbye to our cat Willow on Thursday. She was diagnosed with cancer a while back. For a long time it progressed very slowly, but it has finally reached the point where we feel like it's time to let her go. Losing a beloved pet is so hard.
