Really great episode as usual. My childhood pet cat was also my first experience with death, she was missing for a week and when she finally returned she was struggling to breathe and limping, convulsing. Took her to the vet and they said she had ingested something like antifreeze and was having seizures, no treatment possible. Me my brother and my mum suddenly were all stood together watching morphine slowly travel up a tube into her, slowly the seizures and shaking stopped and she was gone, I kept thinking about how hard it must have been for her to return with all her injuries and how hard she must have fought to see us again.
I relate a lot to your story my relationship with my small family has not been the best and I tried desperately not to break down in front of them, but at the same time i realised how weird it was for me to feel that around my own family. I assume they too were feeling that as when I caved they followed. That was the first time ever where we all cried in each others arms.
Thanks for the vid was nice to remember that.
