Change in plans
(The userpic photo is not of A.J.) 

After my son's mother and I talked, I've decided to not tell him, right away. Her concern is for her sister--pregnant and caring for three children. How will I handle it when Preston asks about A.J.? "He's not well. He's declining." Some of you may realize I am using the strategy from the "Mom is stuck on the roof" joke. As with any effective joke, it has truth in it.

Preston's mother will come by to get A.J., to bury him next Citrine (another lost "friend") in Preston's godfather's backyard.

For now, I've not slept much, and I've more crying to do.

*hug* I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet, and to have to break it to kids.
