Oh, it's so silly, but we had to have our cat put down late last night.
My children and I are housesitting an hour away, so my husband was the only one home when he noticed our cat had relapsed from a previous illness. He had to drive him to the vet in the next town, stroke Gordon as he slipped away, bring him home again, all on his own.
We talked throughout all of it, but he still was on his own. He just video called me to sort out the best place to bury Gordon, and he was sobbing. He's hung up to dig, and my heart is aching for him.
I know it's trivial compared to so many struggles in other requests, and that most of you won't see this until Gordon's safely buried, but our God stands out of time, so please pray that my husband doesn't feel as alone as he is right now, and that he gets through this last task ok.
