It may be silly, but I do cherish the love they had for me. And I’m glad I could be there for them at the end. These sweet little animals show us the value of life, and I cherished those little guys.
There is nothing silly about it at all. They love freely and fully, and anybody who doesn't know that love isn't really living. You being there for them at the end is the greatest thing you can do for a loved one so that the last thing that they see in this life is the love you have for them.
