Allyson, you did the right and compassionate thing. As far as Oliver was concerned, he had the best days ever these past few.

Because books.
Aw, Allyson, I'm so sorry. You did the best thing for him, and you gave him a lot of love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That Scooby Doo is great. Love, love.
I drove past Fry's on the way home. Parking lot was backed up into the street. No Black Friday shopping for me. Still never done it. I don't think the tradeoff for my fragile mental health against the discounts is worth it for anything I have to buy right now.
eta: Oh, Allyson, that's awful. It's good you could be there to help him.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thank you guys. I'm wobbly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Allyson. The pain you are feeling now will someday be worth it in exchange for the great comfort and care you gave Oliver, but I know right now it's just pain.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, I'm sorry. But I'm glad you found him and took care of him at the last.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Allyson, I'm so sorry. He was lucky you found him.

The status is NOT quo.
Allyson, I am so sorry. You truly did the kindest and best thing, but I know how horrible that decision is. I'm so sorry.

Oh, Allyson, that's so sad. But I'm glad that he found you to take care of him and give him yummy turkey and a warm bed and some cuddles for his last days.
You done good.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Echoing others. You certainly gave him a better life than he would have had abandoned in the cold, Allyson.
