In response to the post yesterday I must say that I disagree-while I do
empathize with Tim, I do not agree with him.  This mailing list is about
more than just seeking advice.  It is about sharing, sharing stories and
problems and funny little anecdotes about our babies-and sometimes it is
about sharing the pain we feel when we lose one of them.  When I read one of
those tear jerkers about fuzzies that have passed over the rainbow bridge I
cry too-like a baby sometimes, but then I look over at my babies and I feel
so lucky for the time that I get to spend with them, because I know that
someday I will be in the same boat that many of the people on this list
are-and I know that when that time does come all the people who have
expressed their love and compassion for their ailing fuzzies-will be there
for me too.
 
Not all of us have aol.
 
sincerely,
 
Mike Share
