Grace, Love, Compassion, and Faith - Good Stuff

[In_Shock]

Val has done so well consistently. Val, we're all so proud of you for handling yourself with strength and courage. It is painful, it rips our hearts out. Sometimes I wish i could just literally rip my heart out instead of feeling all this slow death -- but you are doing what we all HOPE to do. You are growing. You are discovering yourself and your are meeting yourself where you are --- and improving.

I read your updates with great interest and I am thinking of you. Plus, people who don't have animals likely don't understand how hard it is to give up pets. I am lucky in that sense b/c W knows our dogs are getting older and are very expensive to keep. No chance she will try to take them. I feel so bad that you had to give up your babies.
