Lovely, gentle chapter. Looks like OI missed a few. So glad to be back on track. I have been a bit busy. I am sure we are approaching the end, here, real soon.

It is a touching continuation of the previous chapter. Jameson is trying his best not to break down .the friendship they shared was very precious. Hope she can hear him....

So realistic, as if you were there.
Poor Jameson. Poor Iris.
I was just with my daughter yesterday as the vet ended the life or my daughter's best animal friend. Not the same, I know, but it was very sad, watching a breathing animal die.
On to the next episode.

    Losing a pet is tough though. They love us no matter what. Thanks for this. Gretchen

You've written this in a very sensitive way. Death scenes aren't easy to write or to read. It is so good that she has someone with her who cares about her and she knows she is not alone.

Well, I've been engrossed since chapter one. I knew the end was coming but it's still sad none the less.

I feel for both Iris and Jameson for different reasons.

I'm glad he's with her till the end. As I will be.

Oh my God... it's so sad. Poor Iris and Jameson. I'm glad he is with her. If I was dying I would want someone who love me with me. I'm sad she doesn't want to be resuscitated but that is her choice.

I love the story. You are a wonderful writer.

You have written this very accurately as if you also have shared this time in someone's life. There is no one who feels so useless as the one who will live on later. Very good writing and emotional connection with your characters.

    I have sat with both my mother who I based Iris on, and my mother in law. It's hard to forget those feelings. Thank you for this excellent review. Gretchen

Oh, dear. I've been dreading this as much as Jameson has. How awful to lose such a dear friend, especially after a short time together. That's all I can say right now.

This is a very sad moment and you have handled it with gentle words Gretchen. Iris knew this day would come and she is well prepared for it and may Jameson is not so well prepared. A fine post, love Dolly x x x
