Default Velvet

I have been trying to decide how to word this since yesterday. I keep typing, erasing, and giving up; don't even know where to start.

My husband and I had Velvet put to sleep yesterday. It was one of the the hardest days of my life. She was 15 years old and up until a few weeks ago doing very well. She starting to go downhill very quickly and was having trouble moving and trouble breathing. She had been deaf and had arthritis for a while, but otherwise was a pretty healthy old cat.

I knew that day would be awful, but it was harder than I ever imagined.
