To all of you who have written or called, to those of you who took the time to write thank you notes to those who helped me, to those who sent goodies already(!), thank you! Thank you for your kind words and thoughts and most of all, your prayers. Thank you for caring that I lived to wonder what I might have done differently. I realized that there are people out there who have nobody to care if they live or die. I realized that there are people out there who may not know that I am extremely grateful they are a part of my life and I am going to change that. We have our differences in the ferret community, just like in any other relationship. But, little disagreements and irritations can be put aside and we can come together for a common cause. That is called family. I am so grateful for and appreciative of MY ferret family. Thanks to each and every one of you. If I have not yet sent you a personal note, I will be replying within the next day. Your kindness has touched me, your thoughts have filled me and your prayers embraced me. For those of you who are emergency personnel, thank you for all you do! Renee -- Renee Downs "Eventually we will realize that if we destroy the ecosystem we destroy ourselves."
