hello everyone, I hope this note finds everyone in the best of health. I dont really know why I am having so much trouble writing this except it hits home. Recently, I adopted a great little boy who has adreanal disease and is scheduled for surgery next Friday(10-5). Hoorah for that. And his previous mommy sent half the money for his surgery which I am forever greatful now so more than ever. The vet said I could make payments on the rest. You see my problem is I just recently lost my job. A new company took over where I work and has downsized approx. 25 people so far, unfortunately I was one of them. I'm not asking for anything except a prayer for my family and for Rikki's upcoming surgery. I support my family on my own so this will be tough but we will make it although this is a bad time and so close to the surgery and christmas. To all those who have recently lost your job my thoughts are with you. Sorry this is so long. Jessica [Posted in FML issue 3557]
