She has shared so much with us. She has opened her home and her family to us and they have become a very important part of us. Hope wants to take a moment to help Rebecca realize how very, very special she is. Yes...it was Rocky that has helped Sean bloom into the fine young man he has become, but does Rebecca not realize that this did not happen because of Rocky alone? Does Rebecca not realize how much she has given of herself to this child? It was she who answered all Sean's questions. It was she who allowed this the opportunity - the relationship between boy and ferret to develop. And it was she who has been there for both of them - during good times and bad. By giving so much of herself over the last couple of months to this small boy and his ferret, Rebecca, herself, is feeling the loss of Rocky more deeply then she realized she would. While trying to be strong for her family, she mourns deeply inside. There has been a tremendous out-pouring of love for Sean during this time of grief, but let us not forget Rebecca. Please join me in sending special prayers and the warmest of healing wishes to surround to this special woman. May they bring her continued strength. Hope loves you, Rebecca. May you find Peace and Love during this Holiday Season. Hope I am the Guardian of Hope. If you know a ferret in need and prayers or good wishes will help ease the pain, please let us know. Send us a note with the information and we will send our very best prayers or good thoughts in Hopes that the warm power of love will surround and comfort the precious little one - and the hoomans who loves them.
