I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their warm words and support. I know he was old (11 good years) but was honestly caught off guard- everything happened so fast. I called him my man but it seemed like he grew into an old man old overnight. I feel a deep void without him in my life and was not expecting how truly painful his loss would be to me. I do take comfort in knowing he feels no pain but can't seem to go more than a few hours without crying over this loss. Again, my partner and I would like to thank all of you for your support during this sad time.
