I am so very sorry that you lost Charlie. Every time I lose one of my kitties, I am devastated, so I can feel with you. I am sure it was not an easy decision, however ending his suffering was the best gift you could have given him. You will remember the good times with him, and maybe one day another kitty will find you and make you happy again.
