20. I'm sorry for the loss of your family member ...

and anybody who doesn't believe they are a full member of the family ... IS WRONG.

We recently had to put our 20 year old cat to sleep, after she woke me in the middle of the night crying (this cat NEVER said anything unless there was a problem) ... she had suffered a seizure. After consoling her, she regained her ability to move after about 20 minutes of holding her. We knew that we couldn't let that happen again.

So the thought of what you went through is fresh in my mind.
