I am glad that you returned to post an update. You and your family have had a very difficult time the last 6 months or so. I'm glad you've recovered from Covid. I'm also glad that you were able to stay w/your son while he stayed in the hospital. So glad that all of you are now well.
However, I am very sorry about your dog. I remember how you use to talk about your dog and what a wonderful fur baby he was. He's now crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and will be there waiting for all of you when the time comes. It was the humane thing to do to put him to sleep. He would have suffered a lot in the last two weeks of his life.
As for your xh...he's still out there and I am afraid he has joined the ranks w/my xh...in Never, Never Land.
I think of you and your sons often and pray that 2021 will be a better one for all. May we all find some peace and stay safe and healthy.
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.
