What an exciting day for everyone. Papi, you must be so thrilled to have your little Patticake in your arms at last.
Lori...it's such a tough job doing what you did. You're a wonderful woman to make that special delivery. I admire your stamina, your bravery and your sense of direction! lol In all seriousness...you deserve such praise for your true act of selflessness.

Bre, I know it must be difficullt for you to say good-bye to Patticake, but you did such an important job! You will always be remembered by Papi (and Patticake) and by all of us here at YT for the awesome job you did of taking care of Papi's precious 'cargo'. I think you will always be a part of Patticake's life. You are obviously a very special gal who has a special gift with animals. Perhaps you might become a veterinarian when you grow up?

What an amazing time this has been for everyone. Even those of us looking on have learned to keep that box of kleenex by the computer! (I don't think I've come on the computer in the past week or so without tearing up while reading something about this story). What a lovely representation of human spirit and kindness.
