Had to put my sweet cat to sleep today. I can't get over the thought that his last memory of me was something scary

When the vet gave him the shot for sedation, he struggled really hard and then afterwards started running away. The vet said she'd go get him to make sure he does't fall down and hurt himself, but I said I'd get him. I went to follow after him and he kept trying to run away from me, but his little limbs wouldn't work and he started stumbling and could only drag himself away from me.

I raised my cat from a kitten and he's never run away from me before. I keep thinking of him being terrified and dragging his little body away from me before the sedation took full effect, and I feel like I've been stabbed in the gut. I wanted him to have a good memory as his final moments, that's why I chose to have a vet come to my house rather than taking him to the vet's office. But his last memory was being confused and scared and thinking that I hurt him, and I can't stop crying.
