Cremation and the reality of Troy's death

This morning, Cornel came over, and also my friend Dave to help move Troy's body into Cornel's car; just as well, Troy was very heavy indeed.

We then drove to the Pet Crematorium, where Troy was laid into a little hutch with flowers - it was really lovely! We spent a few minutes with him and told him how much we loved him.

We then chose a picture casquet to put his ashes in which I will pick up from Mark's on Saturday.

When I got home, I had to hoover and clean the carpets particularly where Troy was laying. Once it was all done, I suddenly felt kind of lost as there was nothing to do for Troy anymore. I have been doing so much washing and cleaning for him over the last few weeks and I have been constantly tending to him helping him in and out of the garden, making sure he was comfortable etc that now there is nothing to do, it feels too quiet and empty. The house feels too large with no big furry lump to climb over or blocking the view of the TV... LOL

I miss Troy terribly and it's only now that we have actually sent him off and he is completely gone from the house that it's starting to sink in what's actually happened; and it's only now that I am starting to realise that I will never see him again - well, not in this life anyway! And this scares me.
