她还是一个十几岁的孩子,让查理安乐死,对她来说是一件不可思议的事。
她每天都会带着查理去医院输液。
这样过了将近一个月,查理没有什么好转。
我在储藏室给查理做了一张小床,他原来的那个稍高一点儿的床也不再用了,因为查理太虚弱了,下不了床。
他只有在去医院的时候才下床。
我和丈夫都知道,我们应该结束查理的痛苦,但是女儿会哭,这使得我们一再放弃这个念头。
可是,我再也不能让一只动物长时间地遭受这样的痛苦了。
查理需要离开,我们必须让他离开了。
甚至是我的那位声称不喜欢查理的丈夫也下定决心要好好地安葬查理,并开始给查理做棺材了。
后来查理走出了储藏室,这是两个多星期以来他第一次出来。
他慢慢地走向我,我将他抱起来,放在我的腿上,这是他第一次让我抚摸他而没有试图逃走。
我们就这样坐着,好像过了很长时间。
然后,查理决定离开了。
他慢慢地走向门后,当我让他出去的时候,他走到平台停顿了一会儿,看着我的丈夫给他做的棺材。
他走下台阶,又转过身,再看了我一眼,然后就走了。
查理知道离开的时候到了,他向我们道别,然后做了上帝创造出来的所有生灵都会做的事,他走到他的安睡之地,安息了。
他的棺材成了一个花坛,多年来一直是那些漂亮的天竺葵的家园,不过这样做的真正目的是希望我们能够想起他。
