I'm so sorry for your loss of Matrim m'dear. Try to take comfort in the fact that he's chilling on the rainbow bridge safe and sound now.

As for Charlotte, it's good that you're aware she's getting older and may be tottering onto the rainbow bridge soon. Just do what you've been doing all the time you've had her; love her and be there for her, that's the best gift you can give her. Stay strong. *hugs*
