Oh, your daughter is beautiful and she looks so happy. I know it is awful to have her go so far away. Last summer my 18 yr old daughter finished her freshman yr off by studying in Australia for 5 weeks - it was so hard, but I knew she was doing something important for herself. I recognize your daughter will be gone longer than that, but trust me you will miss her - but you will also get to a different level of comfort with her in Japan, than you feel now.
I remember when you had to give Mika up when Amber moved before - and I know how hard that was for you -- but you did adjust, and then you thought you didn't have time for another yorkie -- but then you went for it and your got Maya. She turned your world upside down and you adjusted to her new little life.
I know you are a woman with much fortitude and you will adjust again and I believe the 3 of you will flourish together. I think you were MEANT to have these 2 little furbabies - who look fabulous together. But if things had not unfolded this way, you wouldn't be surrounded by 2 yorkies.
You may have to give these girls some new rules & less run of the house until they earn your trust again -- the sofa
- oh, is not acceptable.
I will pray for you during this time of transition. And I will pray for your daughter's safety & adjustment in Japan
