Brythen

[bunn]

Someone out searching for Brythen found his body this morning.  He was in a field we had searched but in the middle where the long grass hid him.  I think he must have jumped into the field after a deer and had a heart attack almost immediately.

At least I know.   I've been out searching basically since Sunday and so have huge numbers of other people who all turned out to help.  People came from all around and drove up from Plymouth to help search and his poster was shared all over the country in case someone had stolen him.  I just wish, I wish they had found him alive.  

I'm trying to tell myself that it is better to know, and better to go quickly.  I should have done better keeping him safe.

You are right, it is better to know, and better he went quickly. But that doesn't make it any easier for you. And the only way to have kept him safe would have been to stop him doing everything he loved, which you would never have done.

None of which will help, I know, so here are *hugs* instead.

Thank you. He did love to run. I just can't help wondering if I'd walked him earlier in the day when it was cooller... no point in that though.
