I had a quick cry at reading what happened. I'm so sorry.
I will tell you this: I will think of you and Fussy as I climb the stairs to the Rickeybird's room. In the back of my mind EVERY time is "I hope he's okay". I call out to him as I take the first step and usually get a reassuring response before my foot hits the second.
Every time. For all these years. I hope to outlive him, which means, someday, what happened to you and Fussy may well happen to me and the Rbird. I don't know what scares me more... the devastating, unexpected loss... or the long drawn-out struggle.
I was reading Einstein's theory of relativity the other day. Just finally wondered what it meant. It was fascinating to learn how time, mass, velocity... it's all relative. Time, for example, is not as straightforward as it seems. This is of course only MY half-baked interpretation, but...
Time is a continuum, relative, each moment linked to future and past points. So once a thing has existed, it's still reachable, it's always there. I think he may have believed in time travel. So as some have already suggested, Fussy is still here, and your living love is still here, and will be eternally.
So many wonderful ideas above.
As somebody said to me when my mother passed, "May the sorrow of losing her soon be outweighed by the joy of having had her in your life".
