I'm very happy you posted an update. I'm sorry to read about your fur boy. Hopefully they can determine what type of growth it is and remove it before it gets any larger. At least it's not cancer. I know exactly what you mean about your fur baby being a blessing, they are very special, especially when we are having down days and stressing. They love unconditionally and are always there no matter what.
Your children are growing up so fast! They sound like they are well rounded in all areas and are enjoying their activities. I'm glad your former in-laws came to visit and you had some fun.
Georgia, please take care of yourself. You are the only one that you have to answer to except for the man upstairs. As long as you are happy w/YOU, that is that matters in this world.
Take care.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
