I've kind of been emotionally blocking out tomorrow. And now I can't anymore. It's almost here.

A beloved member of our family has The Final Vet Appointment tomorrow. I always wanted to be friends with a beagle. I waited 38 years, but I got the best beagle friend. I took the first picture 9 years ago when I met him, when he was 8 years old. I took the second picture today.

I don't think there is a word for this grief.
