To all of you who have recently lost your beloved family members, my heart goes out to you. And to those of you who posted after Meg Carpenter yesterday, I didn't get to read your posts. Bill warned us, but I bawled my head off when I read Meg's post. It was one of the most emotional posts I have read in a long time, perhaps because parts of it reminded me too much of my best friend Magellan who I hope lives to be 100 (or at least 10.) Meg, thanks for sharing your story with us. I am so sorry you lost your wonderful friend. May the memories of your sweet ferret bring smiles to your face. -Carla Almaraz [Posted in FML issue 1261]
