Dear Mr Claus

The pretty picies & the short version are here

And you know what?

I think I've said all that needs to be said there.

Except I feel like it all never happened.

And guilty (of what I don't know)

And a bit empty.

And, the second I saw her moving like that, I fecking knew it was going to be bad. The second I heard about the lump I got changed to go to the vets for the final deed.

Anyone who really...
