about Sweetheart leaving, Meg. I hope you learn something about why / how behind it so maby some others can be better off some day. I'm glad others are benefiting from the suffering my Timmy went thru with the lymphoma, and the miracle of his cure. On the other hand, I'm very glad for you both that you took him out of that dredded pet shop & were able to be such joy to each other.. I know he loves you as much as you love him, and is with you in spirit. Someone once said that if we are only here for one day, that it is a celebration of the miracle of life'; That we won the lottery, we are not plants nor stones, not insects nor fish. We and our four legged children are able to share the wonder of life that you describe so well. The joys of exploration and sharing love bring meaning and worth to life. I marvel how well you are able to describe all the positive experiences so soon, it takes me months to become stable again, as relative as that is. My prayers and thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Sincere hugs from all of us to all of you, Gary & the gang Violence is not strength, Compassion is not weakness. From Camelot.
